I'm hoping you kind peeps can help. Perhaps this is a numpty question lol! During the winter my JRT had the run of my field as it was the only enclosed place I could let him in. Now, however, badgers have taken up residence and gone under the fences/hedges, and as Beanie's recall is non-existent when he's onto something he's having to stay on lead:(
What do you guys think of using an elizabethan collar? Have seen one that is more humane than the original ones and is see-through and the neck is soft. Is this a stupid idea?

Thank you to anyone answering!
 
When I have had to use them on my dogs to stop them chewing at themselves it makes them thoroughly miserable. If you could find another way then I wouldn't bother with one. Can you put him on a long line so he can still hoon about but you would still have hold of him. You could work on his recall at the same time!!
 
Keep him on a long line, I keep mine on leads unless in a secure area, we do fine, it isn't the end of the world.

I would see using a big collar like that as a mistake, what if he gets stuck or something?
 
Absolutely silly idea! lol.

Either have long line, or work on recall.

Those collars can be quite vicious if they slam into the floor - which Chlo is so prone to doing!!
 
Although he might tire himself out by face-surfing along the ground trying to get the damn thing off and never worry about the badger holes :p

Honestly, if someone comes on this post and says their dog doesn't mind wearing one, I'll eat my hat. Or a head-bucket :p
