Yes, I agree. As I said before and will say again it is a bad thing for a Guide dog.

I say this because guides do occasionally receive electgrical shocks in their working environment from things as varried as vehicles with bad wiring and stray current from street lights etc. In general, most of the guide dog trainers I have spoken with about using an E collar won't do it partly because of the potential for really confusing and spooking a dog. Obviously we all do the best we can where guides are concerned, so this is just a little more info to process.
