@Rita:
Andrea no not a shock collar there is a difference in there collar and a shock collar. We have a shock collar was for our akita we used it one time and that was it we took it off and put it away. In the box in attic still looks new years and years later.
The company name is "Sit Means Sit" they are all over U.S. and overseas. Please look them up and read about them they will come to your house for a free demo. You get to hold the collar in your hand and you can see how it works. We have Jaycee on what they call a 10 we have had to go higher but what it does is like a pulse like saying hey I am talking to you so you can get there attn.
Jaycee first class was three weeks ago Sunday and we learned to sit,wait,off and our playtime word for us is free. Wait is great use at door my granny lives with us so we used it first at her door when she would come out we would tell Jaycee wait. Like anything else you have to work at it and work but she has really learned and we have had fun. Jaycee has had fun.
Second week was this way used to teach her to go on lead the way you want and when your ready not when she is ready. Place this can be different things place on like safety because they are in danger or could be really cool. Now not to say that this way and place have not come hard they have and we are working on them everyday. Not sure what happens Sunday.
After your three weeks here they meet twice a week here on Thursday night and Saturday. Welcome to come rest of your dogs life if you like. Were dogs and people go and learn more and work on what you have learned then they have play time in Jaycee case we will tell her free.
This is not cheap but neither was Jaycee and we cannot but a price on her life and going to 6 week class for one hour and then you go another 6 weeks for second step and 1/2 hour drive each way and loss of time and gas this is really a wash.
Jaycee has really done great with this training and at front door we have been also using wait so any time anyone goes to door before opened first words are wait and we have not had any bolts for the door. Not to say that it could not happen or will not but better by 100 % to what it was and I am sure as time goes on it will get better.
Hope you read this and please let me know what you think.

I did check out the website, but couldn't find any mention of what training techniques were used. Thanks for clarifying that for me.
Thanks for suggestion to try it out…but since I own a training business, and use positive reinforcement techniques, I most likely won't be doing that 
Traditionally, Basenjis don't do well with training that use punitive techniques like e-collars...but every situation is different, so I wish you good luck.
