Electric Dog Collar
Which Type of Electric Dog Collar Is Right For You?
Whether its to control barking, or to aide in training
an electric collar can prove to be very effective. Many
people argue that these collars are not human, but
really, an electric collar is more humane than your
yelling and screaming at your beloved pet. With the use
of these collars you can maintain a balance of love and
discipline with your dog easier than you can by yelling
out of frustration. In the long run, the use of these
collars in beneficial for both the dog and the owner.
When most people think of an electric dog collar they
think of the bark control variety. This variety of
electric collar works by recognizing the vibration in
the voice box of the dog and delivering a small shock to
the dog if the activity doesnt stop immediately. Dogs
quickly learn to associate their behavior with the
negative side effect of the small shock.
While barking is a purely instinctual behavior, it is
just not couple well with neighbors who like to sleep,
and sometimes the use of an electric collar is called
for. The electric collar is usually very effective on
most animals immediately; within the first day you
should see a huge decrease in the amount of barking
coming from your yard.
Another common type of electric dog collar is a training
collar. This type of electric dog collar is often used
with hunting dogs. The collar is sold with a remote
control looking device and when the dog does something
that the owner does not want it to do, he or she can
deliver a small shock to the dog.
Training the dog to stop running, chasing, or barking
when a shock is delivered is helpful when hunting, as
well as training them to turn around and come back to
their handler. These remote type devices are usually
most effective within a mile, which proves to be
sufficient for most hunters and their dogs.
Other electric dog collars are associated with
invisible fences or containment systems. If a dog
steps outside a designated area he will be given a small
shock to tell him to return to his area of confinement.
This works quite well and most dogs respond, although
the systems tend to be quite expensive. In areas where
deed restrictions limit your fencing abilities, electric
containment systems are a good option. Also, on large
properties a containment system with electric collar may
be deal at property lines.
An electric dog collar is a good idea for anyone who is
trying to train their dog, provided that they love and
nurture they dog when they display good behavior. Also,
electric collars are not recommended with aggressive
dogs as it may exacerbate the aggressive nature. Dogs
who bark from separation anxiety are also not good
candidates for electric collars.
If you are in doubt, its best to consult your
veterinarian. If you want to better your dogs behavior
and increase your enjoyment with him, one of these
collars may help. As long as your intent is good, your
dogs response will probably astound you.
