I also **** them. Try it on your own neck first and see if you like it.

electric collars are not recommended unless you are a professional and have proper training and experience in using them.. otherwise you could actually make the problem a whole lot worse by incorrect use…..

You need to re-assert yourself as pack leader and place yourself in the dominant position…….show that you are the boss and take the dog firmly by the collar and pull him off the sofa…..it is your sofa not his. he clearly thinks he is the boss of your house and you just need to remind him that he is not….body language and assertiveness are all that is required….electric shock treatment is only for extreme cases and as I said before should only be administered by experienced trainers. good luck

They are cruel and barbaric. If you love your dog you won’t use one.

Hire a dog trainer instead.

They are very effective. You just remotely deliver the static deterrent when he starts to get onto the sofa. Usually they are used for more serious issues than a dog being on a sofa though.
I love the range collar invisible fence product. It works better than any other fencing product. I have never used a shock collar as a training device because my only big dogs are goldens which train so easily.
I don’t think I would ever order a product directly from China though. I would pay extra to get it locally.

I **** them. They seem abusive to me. Better to try out other training methods before resorting to this one. Good luck!
