Followed your link to Cabela's, Sandman - nice unit, looks like the next generation version of what we have - glad to hear it works for you! My point was to use it for stimulation/vibration not pain...sounds like you've found the answer.

After 30 years of owning Goldens I think I'm just resigned to the fact that they all have ADHD in their make-up to an extent - they were bred to be upland game dogs, so I imagine that may have been intentional as a desirable trait, that high prey-drive that sends them off like a rocket on a mission - regardless of how we feel about it

They're just such lovable goofy critters they get forgiven for it, I suppose....time after time after time after time....

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
