If everyone else picks up their puppies at 6 weeks, what good will it do to wait two more weeks ? The puppy will be all by itself anyway.

So to paraphrase your statement : "Wonder how the millions of other people eating the beef escaped if it was a problem with the beef?

Put their food down for 5 minutes (by the clock).
At the end of 5 minutes, pick the bowl up and no more food until the next scheduled feeding.
The dog will learn to eat it or it will disappear.

If the ecollar isn't making a change in behavior, you are just 'nagging' the dog -- you need to crank up the pressure.
