I would not recommend it. Why a shock collar? Have you tried obedience classes first. You can find local obedience classes in your area by contacting your local Animal Shelter or your Veterinarian or one of the larger Pet Stores. Take your dog on a daily walk of at least 30 minutes a day on a choke chain (measure neck and add 2" to the size of the neck to get the correct length for the choke chain) and 6 foot lead. Never take your dog for a walk off lead.
