Electric Dog Collar - Using It Effectively


The electric dog training collar, also known as a remote dog training collar, is a type of collar used in dog training. The remote dog-training collar is placed on a dog’s neck like a regular and allows the trainer to deliver small static shocks of varying strength by remote control. The dog receives a correction (the static shock) when needed during the training session.

There are several factors that will affect the success in training the dog. Before a remote dog training collar is used as a training tool, several questions should be examined:

1. Does the owner know what he is doing?

2. Does the trainer understand the training process?

3. Can the trainer apply proper methodology to a specific situation?

4. Is the owner training the dog properly?

5. Does the trainer have a plan for this specific misbehavior?

6. Is the trainer executing that plan appropriately and correctly?

7. Is the dog trainable?

Training a dog using the remote dog training collar is not for everyone. Therefore, knowledge and skill is required when using an electric training collar. Before electronic training begins, the owner needs to be comfortable in the use of the device, and the dog needs to be comfortable, as well.

Before beginning to train with an active electronic collar, the dog should first become accustomed to a deactivated collar. Even if the dog trainer or dog owner is under pressure to train the dog quickly (e.g., the neighbors are complaining), he still needs to teach the dog that the collar is not something to be feared.

All of the general rules of obedience training apply to electronic training as well. In fact, they are probably even more important in electronic training. These guidelines include:

• Do not train the dog for extended periods of time.

• Limit the number of corrections the dog receives in one training session and in one training day.

• Be sure that corrections are properly balanced with reward.

• Always give the correction at the same time. That is, do so only when the dog is actually misbehaving, not before the misbehavior occurs or after the misbehavior has stopped. This is important because it gives the dog a chance to learn, (i.e., to understand what causes the correction in the first place).

Finally, the beginning point of most electronic training includes the use of a leash, which serves to help redirect the dog away from escape and other inappropriate responses. As a dog owner, it is necessary to be as disciplined as you want the dog to be.
