I am a lifelong dog owner and dog lover. I strongly disagree with any dog owner that uses an invisable fence, choke collar or prong collar. Negative reinforcement by shocking, choking, or gouging a dog is just plain animal cruelty. Instead of being a lazy and cruel owner, take the necessary time to properly train your dog using positive reinforcement. And yes, it is same same lazy people that let their dogs off leash where not allowed, let their dogs to do their business on other residents lawns, and never pick up after their dogs. Unfortunately, the relatively small percentage of bad dog owners tend to cause all dog owners to be negatively painted with the same broad brush.
