Review title: Unnecessary & Possibly Dangerous
Product review: There is no need whatsoever for a product like this. Teaching a dog a down stay is a very easy thing to do without need for punishment of any kind. If you are even considering a product like this, imagine the following scenario. A child approaches a dog on this mat and the dog gets up to greet them just as the child reaches for the dog. The dog is "statically corrected" (otherwise known as being shocked) and associates the shock with the child. The dog can become fearful of, or aggressive towards the child. There are several books and DVDs on Amazon that can safely help you teach a down stay to your dog without punishment. Please consider spending your money on them instead. If you are having problems with your dog, please consider the services of a good, qualified, trainer.
