My dog barks a lot. Are bark collars safe with collapsed trachea?

I have used a static bark collar and a cintronella one on my small barking dog. They are annoying to the dog, more than painful and they do help. Training also with an experienced dog trainer can give you some ideas too. Personally I would not do the de-barking surgery. It is expensive, puts your dog through unnecessary risk and pain and is not always effective. Thanks for using Boop by Petco to help you care for Koda.

Best e-collar brands & how to condition for puppy chewing/recall?

Sport dog is a good brand with several levels of correction. This will not be effective for chewing unless you are always there to correct her. If she chews when you are not home there is no way to know or enforce or correct this. For any training you have to ask them to perform something they know, such as sit. If they do not do it you push the button. If they do well then you reward them. Keep them on a leash while training. When you ask them to come, you pull the leash. If there is no interest then you correct them. They will learn to associate the two things together quickly to respond

Should I use a shock collar for dog training? Expert opinion.

Shock collars, bark collars, and clicker training are all acceptable ways of training pets. The down side is they are ineffective if not done properly. They are great modalities in the correct hands that know how to implement them and do it correctly to where the dog understands what is being asked of them. Consulting a behavioral/trainer that is experienced is the best way to achieve positive results.

Are e-collars safe and effective for off-leash dog training?

I'm so glad that you found a good training method for Timber. The problem with shock collars is that often people do not use them correctly. If you are shocking your dog inappropriately, they will get confused about what is going on and everyone will be frustrated with training. When used appropriately, shock collars can be a very effective training method. I'm so glad that it is working well for Timber, so you must be doing it right. Congrats! Thanks for using Boop by Petco!
