Bad EVIL Dio,,,,

I don’t like this: I was forced into purchasing a ‘shock collar’ for Cosmos.   When he goes into chase mode as he will when a Kat takes off running ‘Oh shit, DAWG!’, his hearing goes to the hounds, or something,,,,

I bought this, and so far so good.   I haven’t had to use the shock aspect yet.   It has a beep (fixed volume, but it stops Cos cold in confusion) Vibrate with 9 setting levels, Shock feature with 99 setting levels ( I have it on 20 currently,, I  know later I am going to find out if that does the trick or not) and a Shock booster that adds an extra 10% to the first shock feature.

And its not like he isn’t getting along with the Kats.  More Elbs than Mama (and Zooms is maintaining quite the distance, only comng in after dark to eat and then skeedaddle,,,)  Elbs even lets Cosmos nibble on him, so its not like they don’t get along,,, its just that ‘Chase’ thing.   I’ve been down this road with a dawg before and everytime, end up with a dead kat,,,  The excitement of the chase gets in the brain and civilized thought goes buy-bye,,,  NOT THIS TIME.

I shouldn’t need it often, but when the suns going down, the kats start to move and Cozzie and I are out walking, I will have the tool ready and waiting.  

But I still don’t like it.   Even dad gave me shit about it.   (guess you know where my thinking comes from, eh?) “why don’t ya just torture the poor dawg,,,”  I won’t use this thing unless I have to.  The beep thing is harmless enough to re-inforce training (don’t piss on the rosebush sorta thing) and it does work so thats ‘not torture’.   The vibrate mode totally confused the hell out of him, he acted like it came out of the ground and started trying to dig where he thought the ‘sound’ came from.  Not wanting to go down the shock road yet, so I have no idea if its going to be effective at this setting.  

If it works, great, if not, I may have to rehome Cosmos.  I don’t tolerate kat-killers.  And I pray that we don’t get there.
