Learning About Electronic Dog Training Collars

 

Using electronic dog training collars is one of the most efficient ways of eliminating the hussle that comes with training. 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 Collars

The electric collars detect the vibrations caused by dogs' barking and deliver a mild electrical shock, similar to the static shock that we feel when we handle fabrics. There are a few methods to this as some products require the owner to make the correction with the push 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 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

This type of collar offers yet another approach. 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.
 

There are three types of electronic dog training collars. Shock delivering collars, sonic collars, and spray collars. All of these electric dog training collars deliver good results, so it's a matter of preference.
