Today, %LINL1% are a necessary part of training dogs to be on their best
behavior and for socializing. Laws today penalize dog owners when their pets
bark too much at night or growl or attack at people, and even just a carefree
play can be mistaken for an attack by a surprised stranger. It's not only loud
and incessant barking that's frowned upon in most places, but also threatening
behavior that dogs may exhibit when faced with strangers or a crowd. The need
for training collars is high and there are plenty of different options to choose
from.
Choker Collars
Some people consider these dog training collars ethical while others prefer the
old fashioned leash. They restrain dogs when they try to pull away from their
leashes, and it can correct other types of behavior. These collars have proven
useful for teaching young puppies or newly adopted dogs to behave when in the
prescence of people or other dogs. Dogs eventually learn not to pull too much on
their leashes while they are out on a walk to avoid the choking sensation caused
when they pull on the collars. Some training collars even have protrusions that
dig softly into the dog's neck when he or she pulls too much on the leash. These
protuberances also stop the pressure as soon as the dog behaves.
Electric Collars
These collars detect the vibrations caused by barking and in turn they deliver a
small static shock. The collar fits around the neck of the dog and the device
from which the small electric shock comes from is placed directly in front of
the dog's throat. The shock is not cruel, it's just a mild static shock, similar
to the one we get when we play with balloons. This can work well as long as the
owner is constantly there to monitor his or her dog.
In these days, training collars are more of a necessity than a luxury. The main reason of it is that laws today hold dog owners accountable for the behavior of their pets. Therefore, dog training collars keep both the dogs and their masters out of trouble.
