Using An Electronic Dog Collar For Training Your
Dog
3
A dog is a mans best friend dogs
protect him and his home. A dog owner has
responsibilities as well, like food, shelter,
training, and even making sure to provide a dog
with the proper collar. Electronic dog collars
are one of the most commonly used tools for
training.
4
Electronic dog collars help to correct a dogs
misbehavior, train it to obey a certain way (even
when off of a leash), and warn it of danger by
sending signals, electronic shocks essentially,
from the transmitter to the receiver. The degree
of shock can be set for various sizes of dogs
and there are collars of many different
shapes and sizes. Eventually, a dog will learn
to avoid misbehavior and an electronic collar
will no longer be necessary. For those who dont
like the idea of electronically shocking their
dog however, there are collars that have send
mere warning tones.
5
Studies show that misbehaviors in dogs are pretty
normal barking at the mailman, jumping on a
visitor, digging a hole in the backyard and even
running after a jogger. But these behaviors can
be excessive and troublesome, causing accidental
energies, property damage, and harm to other
people and even the dog itself.
6
Electronic dog collars were developed to help dog
owners prevent these problems and they are
especially effective in young dogs. Even though
electric impulses may seem painful, they allow a
dog owner to educate the animal without yelling
or spanking it.
7
To use an electronic collar effectively, first
let the dog adjust to the feel of it around its
neck and then make sure to keep the transmitter
with you at all times, as it is a powerful device.
8
Use the lowest possible stimulation level only
if your dog does not respond to shock level one
should you increase the degree. If a dog panics
or starts vocalizing, decrease the stimulation.
9
When a dog exhibits aggressive behavior, like
biting, do not use the electronic collar. This
kind of behavior is better suited for a
professional trainer. And dont use the collar
arbitrarily only when you want to deliver a
command you plan on teaching the dog, should you
use it. Furthermore, training sessions should be
located in places your dog is familiar with and
should be short, lasting 10 to 15 minutes long,
and positive. A dogs focus should be on the
trainer and any good behavior should be rewarded
through play or treats.
10
Dont abuse or overuse the electronic collar, as
that is animal abuse, a crime that can land you
in prison. Remember, a dog is a mans best friend.
