Training your dog with a shock collar will do wonders.

I have used shock collars for heavy protection training. These should not be used by just anyone and people need to be trained in how to use them. If used improperly you could really suppress the dog. Leash recall training will do more good in training the dog to come back to you.

AGGRESSIVE dogs don’t belong on the trail but aggressive dogs don’t belong anywhere they will encounter people. Owners need to be responsible and take care of their dogs if they have ever been aggressive.

agreed, I take my dog biking with me all of the time and never have problems. I always see hikers having problems with their dogs. Dogs should be welcome on the trails but people need to realize alot of training needs to be done for off leash hiking/biking.
