"Trainer" put a shock collar on 15 week old pup - are you kidding me?

Glad your friend found a place they both enjoy.

With regards to e-collars: The only sane explanation of their use that I've ever heard has been on these forums, mainly from Trigger.

Unfortunately in real life, I've only ever heard them touted as quick fixes for problem dogs. Of course, I live in an urban environment, so there would really never be much call for their intended use here in the city.

Anyway, that pup sounds like a lucky one; obedience AND agility in the same week-my dog would love it!
