Electronic Collars Trains Your Dog Fast, Saves You Time and Worry

Every dog has traits that endear them to their owners, and which their owners wish they didn't have to endure. Wally is a 5-year old Labrador that his owner loves for being quiet, most of the time at least, and because Wally knows when not to bother his owner. The exception is when Wally senses other dogs in the vicinity of their house, outside their front gate. That's when Wally goes on a barking rampage, as though he was a completely other dog, ignoring how his owner is feeling at the time. This is a side of Wally his owner has to deal with. When Evelyn looked for obedience training devices for Wally, she found that electronic collars were the most popular.

Evelyn understands that barking is the usual way dogs express themselves. It gives her migraines when she can't pacify Wally, especially when it's so early in the morning. There are nights when Evelyn is awakened from sleep, abruptly, by wild barking. She is not the type of owner who screams at her dog, or one who threatens with violence. For a while, spending time with Wally, showering him with attention, and giving him treats worked. But then even a combination of those didn't budge Wally from barking. She had to keep apologizing to her neighbors.

She came home from work one afternoon with some thing new to try out. The no-bark collar, a shock type, fit Wally's neck nicely. She only need to observe Wally to let him get used to the new collar. Electronic collars can be activated either automatically, via sensors on the device, and remotely. When Wally barks, the sensors on his collar detect his bark along with the vibration from his throat, and release a harmless electric current. Evelyn wanted to see how soon this collar would take effect.

Wally ran off to the window facing the front gate the moment he sensed other dogs, but when he tried to bark, something was different. Wally's face revealed a startled dog, something was markedly new. As with some dogs, Wally tried to keep barking anyway, only to be met by a shock every time. Evelyn, based on customer comments she read, wasn't surprised to see Wally trying out other ways to bark, to get past the shocks. The succeeding nights produced the same results, and Evelyn was happy for the hard-won quiet in her home.

Wally's barking stopped, even though Evelyn could see that her dog still senses other dogs outside their house. Because of Evelyn's investment in electronic collars, she got both the Wally she loves and the serene evenings she deserves.
