They were trained the old way...traditional way on a check cord, not by shocking them.
You don't train a dog by shock collar. You correct a dog by shock collar. The dog must already know the command and what is expected of them. By your comment you are just misinforming those that don't know. As you may or may not know the proper training techniques of the collar. I get it some don't want to use it and that is fine. But don't spread lies and misconceptions about the use of it. I don't know a single trainer worth his salt that doesn't use a check cord, Table, Barrel, ect to train. The collar is for corrections. Something that can't be done by any other means when the dog is not near the trainer. Remember the correction needs to take place at the time of the mistake and at the place of the mistake.
