What Types Of Electric Dog Training Collars Are There?

 

The invention and proliferation of electronic dog training collars resulted in a much easier, less time consuming dog 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.

Types

Depending on the type of correction that they offer, electric dog training collars can be separated in three different categories. These include electric dog training collars, sonic collars and citronella spray collars.

Electronic Dog Training Collars

The electric collars detect the vibrations caused by dogs' barking and deliver a mild electrical shock, similar to the static shock that we feel when we handle fabrics. Some models work by having the owner activate the collar with a remote control with the press of a button.

The advantage of this type of training collar is the effectiveness in making the pet understand his unacceptable behavior. The collar is also very easy to use. The challenge that is associated with this type of collar however, is the ambiguity regarding the usage of static electric shock to train dogs.

Sound Collars

The other type of electronic training collars involve the use of sound. These sonic collars emit a high pitched sound that only dogs can detect and that makes them stop barking. Irrespective of whether it is to tranquilize him from barking or to contain him within preset boundaries, these sonic collars prove innovative possibilities in ways of imparting behavioral training to pets.

Citronella Spray Collars

This third type of collars offer a different approach. You'll find that these collars contain a canister which spouts out the citronella spray upon sensing the unwanted behavior of the dog. This is considered by some the best type of electronic collar available, although it requires some extra work, such as constantly refilling the spray canisters to keep the collar working, and taking the canister off at night so the dog can rest.
 

There are three types of electronic dog training collars. Shock delivering collars, sonic collars, and spray collars. All of these electric dog training collars deliver good results, so it's a matter of preference.
