Electric Dog Training Collar
Useful Information About Electric Dog Training Collars
If you are struggling to train your dog you may be
considering an electric dog training collar. These dog
collars are used to shock your dog when they behave
contrary to what you are trying to teach them or they
emit a high frequency sound that only dogs are able to
hear. They are used to teach simple commands and they
are also used to train dogs that are difficult to teach
or for training guard dogs.
The average dog owner is using the electric dog training
collar to curb behaviors that are causing problems in
their home. These behaviors can include excessive
barking, jumping on people, scratching or digging holes
in your carpet or backyard and simply to teach basic
commands such as heel and stay.
The electric shock dog training collar is generally used
on difficult to train dogs or guard dogs. These collars
can shock a dog around the neck when they are doing
something they were not trained to do. The collar can be
operated by remote control at distances up to 100 yards.
Some owners also use the electric dog training collar
with a virtual fence. When the collar crosses the
virtual fence the dog receives a strong shock. After a
dog is taught what will happen when they cross the
imaginary line they usually will not cross it for fear
of being shocked.
Electric dog training collars that emit a high frequency
sound are more popular than the electric shock dog
collars because they dont tend to make a dog
aggressive. Dogs that are repeatedly shocked by owners
that dont understand how to use them properly can
become aggressive and bite family members out of anger
and frustration.
The high frequency collars can be used in the same way
as shock collars in that they can be operated by remote
control. They are popular with people training hunting
dogs or guard dogs because these people cannot always
see their pet when training them.
There are other popular electric dog training collars on
the market, such as the anti bark dog collar. These
collars operate by battery and emit a beep prior to
giving a dog a slight shock. What triggers these collars
is the vibrations caused by barking or a combination of
barking and vibration. The collars that operate on both
the barking and vibration are considered safer because a
dog can set off the vibration only collar with vigorous
scratching or rolling. The dog in these cases would be
shocked and wouldnt know why.
It is important to remember when selecting an electronic
dog training collar what the purpose of the purchase is
for. If you are trying to curb barking, look for the
anti bark collar. If your goal is behavior modification
then select an electronic dog collar that will give a
beep prior to brief shocks to help stop the negative
behaviors when they occur. If you are unsure which type
of collar is appropriate for training your dog, seek the
advice of your veterinarian or trusted dog trainer in
your area.
