Kandy- I had never heard of the electric shock thing either. Makes me sad to think of it. BUT, then again, I understand about the racing people not wanting the dog to sit while being ready to run. I think I would have found a nicer way. That's just me. LOL! I don't race dogs so that's not my area. The shaking? I'm thinking the dog is afraid to sit in fear of getting shocked. So I agree we have to take this very slow, and retrain that it is OK to sit, and lots and lots of praise. I will have this lady back in on wed. night, I guess we'll see if she is working with what I have taught her so far. I just love this breed. I never had one in my class, so this is a first. Soooooo beautiful.
