All I can add is this; whenever I have lost the plot and given any one dog a bollocking for some serious misdemeanour all four dogs will be impeccably behaved for at least three days afterwards. Similar principle perhaps?
Correction before command?

I bet if most of you reflect, you often give a little tug on a leash just prior or at the same time you give a command like “sit” or “heel”. This happens quite naturally as you have learned it works. If asked why I am sure you would justify by saying “just getting dogs attention”. The very light nick on an e-collar is exactly the same thing.
