If my Blue Lacy takes off with out the shock collar and heads to the creek out back I can go get the collar turn it ok press the button to make it beep and she will come like she has it on. Never a need to shock her. Best thing I have ever had for her. Once you put it on her she will not stray at all.

2 other dogs i collar conditioned. They'd see me get the collars out of the cage and they'd both get excited, they knew we was training or hunting.
Ever try and shower with 2 60# labs refusing to leave your side out of fear of being left behind [emoji56]

Not that hard to train a dog, especially lab mix. I don't advise slapping an e-collar on it and zapping away at it. That's not going to end well for you or the dog. It's an excellent training tool but needs to be introduced properly if you want good results.
Pick up the waterdog book and focus on the obedience parts. I couldn't get my lab to run away from me if I wanted him too.

As has been said by more than a couple folks already, get a shock collar, turn that sucker all the way up, and make him do a flip midair...shouldn't take more than a couple of times to get it through the thick skull we went cheap on the collars the first time, because the cur isn't a wanderer. He bred a beagle/pug mix a year ago, and the male we ended up out of that union is...well, he's different there is no sense in him, he's half insane, and is ready to run off chasing something at all times.
We just spent a little more money for a collar with 10 times the range, and I'm gonna sit at the window and wait till he gets a few hundred yards away from the house and let him have it a time or two I don't want our dogs unable to chase squirrels, run around in the pasture, etc...but after having to look for the puppy for 5 hours Christmas Day and then having him running off for 12 hours on Monday, that was the end of playing nice
