As a trainer. The e collar is just another tool. It's a more advanced and capable tool. We don't drive model T ford's anymore for example. Just because it worked for years doesn't mean a more effective tool isn't available. Now, with that being said the biggest issue with either tool is people and more specifically their timing and speaking. There's a ton that goes in to it but don't hold a tool accountable. A hammer can build a house or end a life, it's up to the user. Pay tribute to the past while keeping steadily focused on the progression of tools/techniques for the future.
I think you tend to use more force when you dont use an e-collar. When I say force I’m talking picking up the dog and setting him back, or shaking and putting down or checking with a check cord or discipline using voice, post, touching, ect ect. Believe it or not the e-collar on very low stimulation modes is the easiest and most humane way to train a dog.
As the others have already stated, when you actually understand the tool then it allows you to use even less pressure and reps to train. Anyone with a negative outlook on ecollars either A) doesn’t understand what the tool is about and/or B) has watched someone that doesn’t understand the tool trying to use it. When used as intended, the ecollar is something to truly appreciate and worth learning.
He used them, before they were anywhere near as advanced as they are today, and saw the their value but not at the expense of the basics. Like any other tool it's the person using it that makes it good or bad, like a hammer in the right hands it can create art in the wrong hands it creates junk.

Would like to hear opinion on trainers relying so heavily on e-collars for training vs not using collars in the past.
