Thread's opinion on Sit Means Sit and their method of e-collars? We had a consultation with them today and it seems interesting. Their collars use a TENS chip, like in physical therapy/chiropractors, so its not a shock but a muscle stimulation that they say acts like a touch. I'm 100% against shock collars for the pup, but this doesn't generate a painful stimulus - more of a touch so it seems ok to me. It seems like a pretty good, if expensive, training solution but my wife and I aren't sold on it, so looking for other opinions. They're a chain so I figure someone has probably used them or knows someone who has. We have an overall pretty good cavalier KS spaniel who we potty trained from scratch at 6mos (she's a rescue). We did petco puppy classes as well, and she did pretty good to a point, so I know she's trainable, just a bit stubborn. She's become quite a barker since we recently moved, and I know part of it is she just needs a lot more stimulation at home than she gets so advice on that too would be great. We're basically looking to curb the barking at home (we live in an apartment so neighbors are a concern, also it's annoying), want her to have a rock solid recall so we can safely take her to dog parks/outside etc., and to get her to stop picking up every drat thing she sees when we're walking her. Appreciate any advice on this type of training, others, (clicker, etc) or other recommendations!

We did do that, that was part of the consultation we had. I've had them before in PT. It just feels like a small buzz/twitch, and it's not painful.

Yeah after further consideration and also finding out the cost (the low low price of $999 for their basic package lmao), we're definitely going to go with other options.
