Through this thread and via PM I've gotten some absolutely awesome advice and I'd like to thank you all. Dog training can be a bit of a tricky subject to discuss as there are so many theories out there, and once you bring up the fact you've used a shock collar almost anything goes. You've all been very helpful (or funny) and it's greatly appreciated. If I haven't thanked your post it's because I'm out.
This is our vet, the one that I was writing about! She's really good and very helpful. I was so glad when she was willing to use email so we didn't have to come in and be charged everytime we needed advice. She gave a lot of specific training techniques and really made it seem reasonable. I would HIGHLY recommend her.

Fyi - it wasn't as much money as I thought it could be, but it was enough! Don't be scared off by the cost is what I'm getting at.
Dr. Bourque is our vet as well. And getting richer by the day with Abby's latest injuries!!!
