Dog Training Collars Guide

"A collar won't be any good unless you know how to use it"

Most dog owners fret the usage of electronic dog training collars, thinking that it is cruel and harmful, but that is one notion that MUST BE CORRECTED! The electric stimulation applied by the collar is not the jarring, painful charge of electricity that some people imagine to be physically harmful to the dog.

Conducting a good training program and understanding the device's proper usage, dog training collars will be a simple and effective way for quick and succesful training.

The use of a training collar should never be abused. Learn how to effectively use these devices with this dog collar guide.

With limitations from the first generation of remote dog training collars, manufacturers worked to refine their electronic training equipment with a variation of multiple stimulation level from the hand-held remote transmitter. The trainer can now select from one of the three main intensity level for a particular corrections: high, medium and low. The benefits of working with dog training collars is the trainer can immediately send a signal to the dog's unwanted or undesirable behavior at a distance far greater than leash training allows.

Important Features of Electronic Dog Training Collars

It is very important to consider to read these dog collar guide and understand these important features before buying remote dog training collars.

· Multiple Stimulation Levels
Remote hand-held transmitter must have the flexibility to match the stimulation level of the dog's temperament. Stimulation intensity level must also be appropriate to the size of the dog. Larger dogs need a high stimulation to follow and obey commands while with a small collar, a big dog may not respond from the radio frequency if the stimulation is too weak. Most electronic dog training collars now clearly indicate what size of dog the training collar is intended for.

There are 2 forms of stimulation available on the market today. First is the continuous stimulation, this method of correction delivers an electronic stimulation to the dog as long as the button is pressed from the hand-held remote transmitter. The second form is the momentary stimulation or sometimes called "nick". The dog will only receive a short electronic stimulation within seconds. Auto shutoff features are also available on some remote transmitter.

· Range

Generally speaking, the wider the range of the remote dog training collars, the better. Effective range of a training collar can vary according to terrain, environmental and line of sight conditions. For field training, it is recommended to have a long range training collar so the transmitter can still produce a reliable strong signal if its needed. A 150 to 300 yard range is enough for basic yardwork obedience training.

· Handheld Transmitter Design

The transmitter should be small enough to fit in a pocket. Manufacturers make transmitters that small and lightweight. The main feature to be considered in a transmitter is the resistance. Some handheld transmitters are waterproof, water resistant, and rugged punishment tested.

· Integrated Collar Design

Electronic dog training collars should have intelligent engineering with internal antenna to avoid being caught in the dog's body. Use waterproof collars if you intend to train the dog in the water.
