thank you all for your replies.
I must agree with John that one of the worst "features" of the human mind is not to follow progress and study inovations. electric collars went through an evolution decades long and are now quite different from their ancestors. this is what I've found out studying electric collars "theory".
I think with modern electric collar dog can exeprience real freedom (which he never will on a leash).
My wolfdog has an extreme hunting/killing instinct which turns otherwise calm and very obedient dog (with school finished with compliments) in to a fearsome hunter that "turns off his ears" and hunts (and "kills") anything that is not dog and smaller than him (EVEN CHILDREN RUNNING!!!). Until now he "only practised" but I really don't want to see it "for real". I know a couple of guys, whose dogs "finished" on a leash and will never again experience free moving and I really hope that electric collar is a solution for saving my doggy for a "dog's life" on a leash.
thanks again and best regards.
