I have a bad barking GSP and purchased this unit and was wondering if any one else has used it and is it worth the $100. I have the G3 Upland and love that e-collar and assume that this bark collar will be of similar quality??

Can someone reccomend a good trainer for my GSP in ND or Sask Canada? What is the cost per month on average?
My dog is trained to come on whistle, gun trained but is ready for bird work. He's 9 months and I'm finding no time to train.

My GSP does the same when he's in a deep sleep and he's got a clean bill of health. When people doze off they sometimes do the uncontrolable jerk...don't worry about it unless you really notice a change in health.
