First, I didn't read through most of the replies. I now train all my dogs on electric collars. Its not only a good teaching and correction tool for "bad" behaviors. Its an awesome handling tool as well. You don't have to shock the dog. The higher end training models have a vibration mode. Mine does have an adjustable shock button. 9 times out of 10, the vibration is enough warning for the dog to get into good behavior or be corrected. On any dog, but especially the hard dogs. There is no better tool over a good e-collar.

It always should be a "correction tool" only - the dog has to know the commands, the dog has to know what´s right, and what´s wrong - basic education/training already happened.
The e-collar should be a reminder, a compensation for f.e. the "long leash", never a teaching tool.
Even a dog needs to know WHY there is a correction, and not learn through correction.
I hope that makes sense, difficult for me to explain.

Max yr dogs aren't trained at all.

My dogs understand they are about to do wrong via vibration. If they continue on the same path, they know a correction is next. Its a great handling tool, fair and firm.
