The Different Types Of Electric Dog Training Collars
The invention and proliferation of electronic dog training collars resulted
in a much easier, less time consuming dog training. Pet owners have found out
that these collars saves them both time and money and can even allow them to
train their own pets at home, instead of taking them to a training class or
hiring a dog trainer.
Different Electronic Collars
Depending on how they correct dogs, electric dog training collars are classified
in three different types. These include electric dog training collars, sonic
collars and citronella spray collars.
Electronic Dog Training Collars
These collars operate by offering a harmless, mild static electric shock when
the collar senses the vibrations of the vocal chord of the pet. Some models work
by having the owner activate the collar with a remote control with the press of
a button.
The advantage of this type of training collar is the effectiveness in making the
pet understand his unacceptable behavior. The collar is also very easy to use.
The challenge that is associated with this type of collar however, is the
ambiguity regarding the usage of static electric shock to train dogs.
Sonic Collars
The other type of electronic training collars involve the use of sound. These
sonic collars emit a high pitched sound that only dogs can detect and that makes
them stop barking. These collars are very innovative and they are prefered by
those who think that the static delivering ones are cruel.
Spray Based Collars
The third type of electronic dog training collar is the spray collar. You'll
find that these collars contain a canister which spouts out the citronella spray
upon sensing the unwanted behavior of the dog. This is considered by some the
best type of electronic collar available, although it requires some extra work,
such as constantly refilling the spray canisters to keep the collar working, and
taking the canister off at night so the dog can rest.
