The Kinds of Electric Dog Training Collars that There Are

By Rosa Goods

electronic dog training collars are the innovative means of saying goodbye to the hassles involved in training your pets. Those pet owners who find it tough to impart behavioral training by other means can now enjoy the comforts of getting their dogs trained with ease in short time frames, using electronic dog training collars.

Kinds

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

Electric Collars

These collars operate by offering a harmless, mild static electric shock when the collar senses the vibrations of the vocal chord of the pet. There are a few methods to this as some products require the owner to make the correction with the push 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 collar is also very easy to use. While the collar is perfectly safe, some people still think that the use of electricity harms the dog.

Sound Based 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 very innovative and they are preferred by those who think that the static delivering ones are cruel.

Citronella Spray Collars

This type of collar offers yet another 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. - 29953
