Dog Training Collars and How They Work

Dog training collars are designed to be used as training tools only. These are not meant to be used as long term discipline. As with training any animal, some respond to different techniques, and may require alternate methods of training.

This being said, dog training collars can be a great way to work with your pet or hunting dog. The purpose of a dog training collar is to initiate a reaction that your dog will not want repeated. A dog will quickly learn to obey your commands in order to stop any unwanted electronic charge. People use dog training collars to reinforce commands and correct their dog's undesirable behaviors.

Dog Collars

The basic parts of a dog training collar system include: A handheld transmitter, a collar receiver and collar probes. A signal is sent from the transmitter to the receiver on the collar. Once received, the collar then sends an electrical charge through the probes, which are embedded in the collar itself. The probes must have direct contact with your dog's body in order to operate effectively.

The number one question on everyone's mind is will the "shock" from a dog training collar harm my animal? Even though it is unpleasant (this is the negative reinforcement), it will NOT cause your dog physical harm. Electrical charges from the collar are not intended to harm your dog in any way, just greatly annoy them. Similar to a "zap" you may get when you touch something metal on a dry winter day.

All good training collars have the capability of multiple stimulation levels; be sure to always start with the lowest level. Other units offer vibration or tone as the source of reinforcement. You do have many different options to choose from.

Electrical shock can be delivered in two forms; continuous - which means the charge lasts as long as the button is pressed, or nick stimulation - which refers to a quick charge that lasts less than a second no matter how long the button is pressed. Many units have built in safety features which will not allow continuous stimulation for more than 10 seconds.

Some questions you need to ask yourself before purchasing a dog training collar. How many dogs will be trained 1, 2, 3 this will determine the number of collars needed? Do you plan on using the trainer in wet conditions or while the dog is swimming? Do you need water proof or water resistant? At what distance do you expect to have control of the collar? Size of collar needed to fit your dog correctly.

And finally, some features to consider when shopping for dog training collars include; safety shut-off, "no bark" control, and integrated locator beeper.
