Some dogs are just too social they run away from you to get other people's attention. To an observer, it might look adorable, cute even, because they don't have to apologize to other people for the bother your dog causes.
So you get a day that's supposed to be easy but ends up a stressful one - you want to lock up your dog and put it in its leash permanently. There are times your dogs just does what it wants, ignoring your calls and shouts - it will chew furniture, dig garden soil, run after other pets, scare little kids, and so on.
Dog Collars
Some background info
Perhaps there's a way to make a dog avoid doing some bad deed - chewing other people's plants, chasing other dogs, digging up your garden. Can this be done? You can, by using a remote collar. Training dogs to do and avoiding doing some things means a lot of time and hard work. One had to work out a situation where the dog was tempted to do his bad deeds - and then when the behavior is seen, or is about to start, one could "punish" the dog. Rewards were doled out conditionally - when the dog obeyed, it received attention, treats, play time.
Obedience training in the modern age
By using a remote collar, you can certainly do the needed observation, only that the transmitter you have means a quick shock. Some nasty dog behavior can be weeded out almost completely, such as chasing cars, running after people, chewing up shoes, and so on.
So what are the benefits of using one?
Days are over when the only option you have is to keep your misbehaving dog on a tight leash should it become a nuisance. A remote collar package includes one transmitter and one or more collars with receiver devices on each; the transmission range is from 500 to more than 1000 meters, depending on the model you chose. That means, regardless of the number of dogs you have - a handful of toy dogs or half a dozen working dogs - a remote collar is worth it.
The nuts and bolts - how it works
Your dog's collar has a device that releases a harmless low current shock. With a remote collar, you just click and the dog feels the inconvenient jolt - a convenience you don't have with a physical leash. The static shock is low volt and harmless but completely annoying - enough that your dog will pay attention to it and stop its unwanted behavior. It won't take long before you dog learns to link the unwanted behavior and the annoyance.
