Just put the collar on, and it is amazing how well he behaves.
And the simple beep is apparently very good at catching his attention.

But, it sounds like you've only been doing this for a shot time. You'll have to get your feel for it long-term. Also it may depend on whether you're always riding on the flats, or if you are pushing 20+ mph on the hills.
I never tried a shock collar. Glad to hear it works for you guys. Ollie and I are definitely still new to the rides. Just like a kid learning to ride a bike, he gets better with practice. We only go on pleasure rides. A cargo bike is big, heavy and difficult to maneuver. I highly doubt I'll be hitting 20+ mph on it. 8-15 mph appears to be our average so far.
