8: New Study Shows E-Collars Stop Dogs Chasing (We're NOT Shocked!)

What is the "controversy" and what does it all mean? They reflect on their own histories and experiences with e-collars -- including that one time Rolex nearly ate the roommate's kitten -- and how literally they can be life saving tools.
