Love to post about Teddy. We are really kind of on hold until next Friday when he gets his session with the Petco trainer/sensitivity expert. Twice when out for walks, Teddy heard dogs, stopped in his tracks and would not move ~ FROZEN ON THE SPOT. I was afraid to pull too hard on his pronged collar. Fortunately, my wife was following behind in the Jeep, and Teddy jumped in.
Teddy's neck hair is so thick it does not
hurt him, unless we get into tug-o-war.
No more walks until after that. We have cleared the back yard, installed gates from the deck, replaced oriental rugs with cheap carpet remnants and leave the back door open so he can come and go as he chooses. The house is now one giant kennel. Praise god for Prego floors! Right now it is swiffer and vacuum every day. I do it because I want my wife to bond more strongly to Teddy. I believe a quiet house with accommodating adults is the key. We are informed that Teddy may prefer men to women, so we are making a big effort for my wife ~ petting, dog treats, and toys! I now give nothing but play and petting.
you dont have to use that harsh a collar.....he is a golden....given love he will give so much love in return ....you just dont know how lucky you are right now...you will come to know the love of a golden it is like no other dog love..and i am a doberman person
I know the collars are controversial but - when you have a 103 lb dog, it can be hard for a small person to control - especially if it's a giant love bug at the end of the leash

It's a wrong thing to use.
With correct training you don't need that collar.
I am a very small person but I had complete control over my 175 lb dog, with just a regular nylon collar and a leash.

If that's the case then you are fortunate. The problem with normal collars is that any dog can slip out of it whenever it wants to, and dogs in training often want to slip from their collars to go play. That's why these collars were required equipment for our dog's training.
excuse me dude,,,i have a 85 lb to 95 lb doberman depending on his fattness of the month.....
and i use a nylon collar and leash....but coyote is right ....he can slip out of it...a problem with damned dobermans...they got this thick neck...slim neck..slim head and right over the head that collar goes...
you are wrong to cold shoulder the golden....that confuses him and leads to poor training...reward him for good behavior and a short scold for bad behavior.....they are velour dogs for a reason

You need the collar, Beachboy. Retrievers have a high tolerance for pain and it's virtually impossible for you to cause pain to the dog with it unless you actually hung him with it according to my vet, trainer, and boarder. The collar is slip-proof and that's the useful part. Dogs are rambunctious and need reminders more than discipline if they are of the correct temperament.
I'm not sure you're doing you or Teddy any favors by allowing him to sleep in your bed because that confuses them some (the pack leader sleeps there and that should not be him). But most of the time it doesn't cause a problem.
70x50 is too small for a dog that size without some real running exercise elsewhere. Try to find a place to set up a long dog run, 200 feet or more. A few time a month he needs to get up a full sustained sprint, faster than you can run with him. You can make it using a leash, a snap link, some 1/4" cable, cable clamps, and two heavy duty spiral stakes.
Here are links for all you need:
3/8" X 200', 7x19, Vinyl Coated Galvanized Cable Reel
Light Duty Stainless Steel Thimbles
3/8" Light Duty Wire Rope Thimble
3/8" Electro Galvanized Spring Snap Link

We use the no-slip martingale collars a lot as well, dogs can't back out of them and they have a limit on how tight they get (unlike a choke collar). I've also found front fastening harness' to be effective.
They're all tools in the toolbox and every team is unique. A trainer needs to be flexible. The only tool I do not like are e-collars. They are too often used and misused as a short cut in training, are easily misused and can do horrendous damage.
