Thanks for the input fellas. I just want him to come when I call his name! That's it!!
This is going to be a bit crude so if that offends you, don't read on.
If you want your dog to come when you call him, you don't need to shock him. You need to jerk him off. Once you do that he will come running every time.
I once had someone tell me if you don't jerk your dog off or eat your wife's "cookie" he could come to your house and take them both from you.
Just a thought - I just spent $600 on the Canon City Prison training program for my German Shepard / Border Collie evil genius puppy (this dog could get out of a crate that was zip tied). I figured after spending $3,800 on replacing my floors (he just loved ripping up carpet), I might want to spend a little more on the behavior. He was gone for a month, and they did a really incredible job with him... including the separation anxiety and some aggressiveness. The trick is you have to behave differently too. I learned quite a bit, and I've had dogs my whole life.
Anyway, it was recommended by two friends of mine, and it worked really well for me. We still have the training (pinch) collar that they gave us, but he rarely needs to get popped with it now. He even learned a few new tricks like crawl, wave, etc while he was there.

My hunting dogs have DT systems collars. Variable levels of shock, they work great in all weather. And our little dog is a PITA at times. Anytime she sees the collars come out and gets on out on, it's a whole other dog. They learn fast that the collar means absolute control and they are on their best behavior.
Sport dog. Comes with a booklet for assistance in training. We used it on our dog for maybe a month. Now I can call her off a rabbit running right in front of her. She'll wait for the ok command. Remember, reinforce that when either you tone, shock, or both, she knows that returning to her safe zone (you) will stop the discomfort. You don't want to set the shock so high that the dog bolts, or yelps. Mine doesn't even need the collar at all anymore. Best $120 we spent.
Yes, That is Ripley the Ridgeback. He does not like getting in the shower. A buzz will put 117 lbs. in the shower. Shock is no longer needed.
