Electric Dog Collars - For That Much Needed Obedience Training

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 more times the dog is annoyed at the interruption, the more chances it will remember when it receives such interruptions.

Remember that the unpleasant stimuli does not debilitate the dog. The shock the dog is dealt with is no more painful than static felt on a carpet or windshield. 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 other kind is triggered remotely, via radio signals from a transmitter. The remote type can be used to "punish" many types of behavior, unlike the bark-activated one, which is limited to deterring barking.

Bad behavior can range from dangerous ones (chasing vehicles) to annoying, destructive ones (chewing up shoes and plants). The quick succession between bad behavior and unpleasant stimuli, experienced by the dog, pays off over time. Other types of training have also benefited from the use of remote electric collars. Agility training, pet containment, and hunting are some of these regimen.

The aim of discontinuing your dog's problem behavior is the same idea behind the 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.

Compared to bark-activated collars, remote electric dog collars allows the dog owner to interrupt, and in the long run, inhibit specific dog behavior. Over time, you'll notice your dog more restrained both indoors and outdoors. Having a prim and proper dog this way can be achieved through the use of remote electric dog collars.
