I'm using it to train her not to nuisance bark is all. It's been a real
problem. After the first three times tho', I've only had to use the
tone. I'm not having to use the shock setting at all. I didn't know
what else to do as I'd already tried everything else! She needs to be
outside to run as corgie's tend to get really fat otherwise.

I am sorry that Steve has had bad experience with his. Chelsea really is
a very special and loving little dog. I wonder if Steve has had his dog
neutered? That can sometimes help with males.
