Every dog owner who is considering using a Dog Training Shock Collar to
control his dog's misbehaviors should keep in mind some important points.
Chances are, you have several misconceptions – let’s clear them up!.
The Power Of Name
But a “shock collar” isn’t necessarily as bad as it sounds. Some people imagine
a big shock, like touching an electrical fence, but a shock collar for dog
training really isn’t that bad. There really is no actual electric current in
the collar, it only gives instant impulses, very likely to the ones that appear
when you comb your hair. Since the word "shock" sounds scary, it is common to
call this type of collar as "electric" or "remote".
Is It Coming From The Collar?
Undoubtedly, it is clear for dog owners that the shocks are sent from the
reciever located on the training collar. But you want your dog to believe the
shock he gets when he does an undesired behavior is happening because he
misbehaved – and to not realize that the dog training shock collar did it. The
best way to do this is to let him wear the collar for a while as you play with
him, pet him, and give him positive stimulation. Later on, when the training
process begins, the dog will not connect his new experiences with having the
collar on.
Never Be Tough On Him
A dog owner may believe that sending the stronger electric signal to the animal
will result in a better reaction of the dog. Actually, the opposite is a better
tact. It's better to start with sending the lowest possible signals, and then,
if your dog remains unresponsive, increase the intensity level gradually. What
sort of response should you watch for? Anything that shows he noticed something
different. Those may include the signs like a slight head turn, an ear or body
movement, and so on. However, do not make your dog jump up and make weird
noises. Those are the signs of using too high a degree of electric pulse on the
Dog Training Shock Collar
There are important things to remember when using a Dog Training Shock Collar. The shock isn’t as bad as you might think, but don’t overdo it. Learn more about your Dog Training Shock Collar and introduce it in a way that the dog won’t realize the shock came from the collar.
