Hi Lois.

I also have an e-collar but I’ve just used it on my dog a couple of times and in vibration mode.

I truly believe they’re awesome tools but I don’t feel all that prepared to use it properly yet, because if the timing is bad you can screw it really bad. Everytime I’m having lunch I try to have my dog somewhere else, but if I decide let her in I don’t allow her to approach unless I ask her to do it. I use to lead her to a determined spot and feed her there, Everytime she approaches I say NO and lead her again to her place and feed her again there. After some repetitions she gets that if she wants to eat must remain in her spot. But it takes time and patience to enforce this behavior.

I hope I could have helped you.
