The Types Of Electronic Dog Training Collars: A Brief Overview
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.
Kinds
Depending on how they correct dogs, electric dog training collars are classified
in three different types. These include electric dog training collars, sonic
collars and citronella spray collars.
Electric Dog Training Collars
These collars work by delivering a mild static charge to the dog whenever it
barks, confusing it momentarily and training it not to bark. Some models work by
having the owner activate the collar with a remote control with the press of a
button.
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. While the collar is perfectly safe, some people still think that
the use of electricity harms the dog.
Sonic Collars
The other type of electronic training collars involve the use of sound. These
sonic collars emit a sound that only dogs can hear and which prevents them from
keep barking. These collars are usually preferred by those who think that the
ones that deliver static shocks are unethical and cruel.
Spray Based Collars
This third type of collars offer a different approach. This collar literally
sprays the dog's muzzle with an annoying scent of citronella whenever the dog
tries to bark while the collar is active. This collar is by far the most
accepted one by people who think the other two are somewhat cruel, yet it
requires some extra work, such as constantly refilling the canisters and taking
them off at night and at times when the dog is playing and should be allowed to
bark at ease.
