Does anyone have any experience with these type of collars? http://shop.sitmeanssit.com/Sit-Means-Sit-Dog-Training-Collar_p_649.html
I am not convinced about this "muscle contraction using electric impulses" business. Does the collar give electric shocks? If so, can they be regulated?
I am having some issues with my 3 year old GSD, and the last thing I want to do is inflict pain or discomfort on my baby. I would rather put up with some of her undesirable behaviours than hurt her.

It is an electric training collar, so yes, it will shock her. I would recommend a basic obedience class (which will cost less than this collar for 8 weeks) and, if the trainer recommends it, a prong collar. Avoid PetsMart and similar classes, instead find an obedience training club or a professional trainer that actively shows their dogs in obedience, agility, etc.
I'm doing basic obedience right now. My trainer hasn't once handled my dog. He has shown me how to handle my dog by using his own dog but that's about it. The reasoning is that I need to learn how to do these basic corrections and what not myself. Learn more https://tr.im/qadDG
I have never considered sending my dog away for training. I guess I haven't found that much of a problem with him to even think about it.
Again, it may also have to do with the level of training you are looking for etc. No idea lol. I'm not a trainer. I think a first time dog owner needs to learn simple commands and how to handle their dog themselves as well.
