Well, Toby is an English field Cocker and he doesn't point but flushes. It is a shock collar. Every once in a while he wants to range a little too far and gets a sound buzz. It is rare I have to give a light shock in that he hears the buzz sound and shortens up. Doubt if I actually shocked him 5 times this past year.
In fact most times I leave it in the truck and only bring it out if needed. Other times I use it when he is hunting with pointers. Their beeper collar goes off when they are pointing and I either hup-have him stand/sit where he is, so not to mess up their point-or give him a sound buzz to bring him in.
