Maybe the e collar didn't reach that far and if it did anda whistle he could possibly interpret that into keep on going possibly...?? My .02 owner nicked him but dog didn't hear ... I hope that man finds his dog. My dog has nowhere near the time and money invested and I'd be lost without by buddy!


"Go ahead, share your opinion! I won't cry"

Owner called me this morning and we spoke at length. He didn't even remember turning the collar on. Dogs can hear a whistle at 600 + yards so that theory is probably not valid. Eli was sent on a bird he saw fall and it was a relitively easy retrieve, $hit happened and he didn't come back. If he had been a "Rock" dog there would have been no chance for him to get lost since they only go as far as the rock can be thrown.
