All I can say from lots of experience is that you are wrong.
I can live with your opinion.
Hoyt, if you are this rigid over something like this, how can you train a dog? They have a brain and don't alway follow a plan right to the letter.
How is explaining what I feel in my hand, and what I see on a lion country supply webpage...which by the way exactly matches the description on the Tri-tronics page...being rigid? I've just presented you some facts. Look at the description. By the way, you seemed to miss the post where I said I am not a dog trainer...at least I don't call myself one.
You are sitting there zapping yourself at each intensity level and telling someone else what makes sense
Yes, I zapped myself.
I speak from knowing how my collar felt AND it matches, as best as I can recall, how the collar is advertised...with 18 levels on each mode. It's not easily forgotten how hard an e-collar can hit on certain levels. May I ask what part of that lion country supply link doesn't make sense? That page identically matches the Tri-tronic page. All anyone has to do is take a look at both pages. No where does it say on those pages that the levels aren't consecutive. Nowhere does the instruction or the advertisment say, "Oh yeah, by the way, when you get to a 5H don't forget that it's hotter than a 6 Low".
May I ask:
What is the highest level on a Pro500?
The answer is a 6 high, which by the way is level 18, the exact highest level advertised and shown in the link provided and on the Tri-tronics site.
A 1 high would be level 3, then 2 high would be level 6, then 3 high would be level 9, then 4 high would be level 12, then 5 high would be level 15, and finally a 6 high would be level 18.
As of right now I have seen no written documented proof,
that is made public from Tri-tronics, that levels overlap. So, I ask; What am I supposed to believe? I'll tell you. What I feel in my hand, the progression Mr. Graham showed us, and what Tri-tronics shows in advertising. Does that make sense to anyone? Is it unreasonable for me to believe that?
I suppose that because I take the time to try and explain what I've felt in my own hands, explain what I see in an advertisement, explain that I proceeded to cc to "here" just as Mr. Graham does it in his dvd, trying to be helpful while being respectful, that I'm being rigid.
Explaining this in writing may seem hard, reading and comprehending it may seem even harder to some. What I learned from Mr. Graham's dvd's as it relates to the progressive increasing of cc to the "here" command is NOT hard at all. It's easy as pie. It's much easier to understand and do than it was to try and explain this to you folks.
Respectfully bowing out...
