Today, %LINL1% are a necessary part of training dogs to be on their best behavior and for socializing. As we all know, dog behavior needs to be at its best because there are laws that prohibit loud and long barking dogs, as well as neighbors that don't appreciate them either.
Dogs just follow their natural instincts, of course, and it takes some training to make it behave and keep itself and its owner out of danger and trouble. Therefore, the demand for training collars of several types has increased lately.
Choker Collars
Some people consider these dog training collars ethical while others prefer the old fashioned leash. These collars restrain dogs from pulling away from the leash, as well as from incurring in other types of bad behavior. These collars have proven useful for teaching young puppies or newly adopted dogs to behave when in the prescence of people or other dogs.
Dogs slowly realize that jumping at people and things will give them a very annoying choking sensation. Some collars have some protuberances for increasing the feeling on dogs that are particularly stubborn or with very thick skins. These types of collars also stop any sensation to the dog as soon as this one relaxes.
Electric Collars
These collars detect the vibrations caused by barking and in turn they deliver a small static shock. There is a small device in this collar that detects vibrations in the dog's throat caused by barking.
The shock is not cruel, it's just a mild static shock, similar to the one we get when we play with balloons. These collars are very practical and effective as long as the training is constant and supervised closely by the owner; just remember to take the collar off when training is over so that the dog can rest. - 29953
