This video by Scott Linden explains when NOT to use an E-collar on a hunting dog. It emphasizes that E-collars should not be used when the dog is near, working, or carrying a bird to maintain a positive association with birds. The instructor advises against using the E-collar if the dog doesn't understand a command, suggesting a return to basic training in the yard. Frequent E-collar stimulation indicates insufficient training, requiring a revisit of commands with tools like a check cord or training table.

Clint Smith, a highly experienced firearms instructor and founder of Thunder Ranch, emphasizes that a firearm's effectiveness is significantly impacted by its holster. He identifies poor holster quality as a common mistake among students, stressing that a gun is only as good as its accessibility. Smith advises against certain carry positions like appendix or small-of-back due to stability issues and highlights the importance of a reliable holster for defensive readiness.
