18 month follow-up

Ranger is now 2 years old. He is a field lab. Because of your methods requiring low energy collar levels he has all of his energy, personality and enthusiasm but it is under good control. He recently had an increase in his mental maturity that has also helped us progress towards more advanced work. I had been against using an e-collar until watching your videos but I was worried about his safety as his recall in the field was not trustworthy. I also incorporated your mannerisms of being calm and speaking softly. I believe that using an e-collar has minimized training frustrations. I am truly grateful for your help and would encourage others to consider your methods.
