An ecollar is a great tool for collar conditioning a dog. Sounds like your dog is not quite there yet. To collar condition a dog I use a whistle, the command (here, quarter, whoa, etc.) and slight continuous stimulation.. After a few or more sessions the collar comes off and the dog responds to the command and/or whistle that is associated to what he's suppose to do regardless of the distraction (boar, deer, turkey, fast moving water or a road). I find this part of dog training fascinating as it makes the dog/handler bond stronger.
