          I have in the past used a 7 level shock collar from Inotech, and found that they work well.  You do have to either shave a small area under their neck, or (as I did) take the time to part the hair back when putting the collar on. I used this for a few weeks, then slowly stopped using it.  It's very rare that I have to use one now, but if I do I don't even have to have a battery in it. Just the presence of the collar is enough.
