The Different Types Of Electric 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.
Different Electronic Collars
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.
Electronic Dog Training 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. Some of these collars work with the operation of a control remote that
the owner uses to activate the collar.
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 challenge that is associated with this type of collar
however, is the ambiguity regarding the usage of static electric shock to train
dogs.
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.
Irrespective of whether it is to tranquilize him from barking or to contain him
within preset boundaries, these sonic collars prove innovative possibilities in
ways of imparting behavioral training to pets.
Spray Based 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 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.
