you don't "cure" dog aggressiveness. If the dog was that dog aggressive to where those types of measures had to be used,the dog should have been dropped from the training instead of being abused for it.In my opinion,if the dog couldn't be trained with less harsh methods to ignore the other dogs-she was just too dog aggressive to work in sports involving other dogs.

There will never be a 100% guarantee that this dog will not decide to go after another dog at an event. And if she does-there won't be an e collar to stop her. In the long run by creating a false sense of security that the dog had been "trained" not to go after other dogs EVER, they made a bad situation worse.
