Electric Dog Collars – a Humane and Effective Way to Solve Pet Obedience Problems

One misconception about placing Electric Dog Collars on dogs is this: the aim is to teach through pain. The aim is always to interrupt your dog’s bad behavior – barking, chewing on furniture, etc. The longer the dog is exposed to the interruption, the more chances it will associate the behavior with the expectation of getting the same stimulus.

The dog that receives the shock is not hurt in any serious manner, nor his motor functions reduced in any capacity. The static shock one receives from touching the outer metal casing of a refrigerator is much more severe compared to the shock a dog receives from his electric collar. This manner of training is already being performed by many dog owners all over the world.

There are two types of shock collars. One is triggered by your dog’s bark and his signature vibration. This set up makes sure a loud truck or an airplane flying overhead do not set off the collar. The second type is activated via a remote control. While the bark-activated type can be sufficient indoors, especially when your dog has gotten used to it, the remote control type is best outdoors, where many other kinds of dog behavior can and should be discouraged.

Bad behavior can range from dangerous ones (chasing vehicles) to annoying, destructive ones (chewing up shoes and plants).
The quick response of the owner in shocking his dog from afar is a both a quick solution and a long term investment. Remote shock collars can and has been used for many kind of obedience regimen. Agility training, pet containment, and hunting are some of these regimen.

The idea of interrupting your dog’s behavior is to discourage it from ever engaging in them in the first place – a principle shared by other types of no bark collars. These other types include sprays, high pitched sounds, and vibrations.

The remote control in your hands allows you to instantly interrupt whatever problem behavior your dog is showing.
Over time, you will appreciate the use of Electric Dog Collars, especially the problem behaviors stop manifesting.
