Electronic dog training collars are the innovative means of saying goodbye to
the hussles involved in training your pets. These collars allow dog owners to
train their dogs at home, and often save them money and time by not requiring
them to take their dogs to training classes anymore.
Types
Based on the type of correction stimulus, electric dog training collars can be
categorized into three different types. These are electric collars, sonic
collars, and citronella spray collars.
Electric Dog Training Collars
These collars work by delivering a mild static charge to the dog whenever it
barks, confusing it momentarily and training it not to bark. Some models work by
having the owner activate the collar with a remote control with the press of a
button.
The main advantage of the electronic collar is that it teaches a dog that
barking is not allowed in certain situations, such as late at night or when
visitors arrive. The set up and training procedures are simple and the collar is
user friendly. The disadvantage that is attributed by some to this collar is the
effects of static used on the dog.
Sound Based Collars
Other type of electronic collars use sound instead. These sonic collars emit a
sound that only dogs can hear and which prevents them from keep barking. These
collars are usually preferred by those who think that the ones that deliver
static shocks are unethical and cruel.
Citronella Spray Collars
The third type of electronic dog training collar is the spray collar. They are
equipped with a canister which sprays the citronella when it detects the
vibrations caused by barking. This collar is by far the most accepted one by
people who think the other two are somewhat cruel, yet it requires some extra
work, such as constantly refilling the canisters and taking them off at night
and at times when the dog is playing and should be allowed to bark at ease.
