Know the Different Types of Dog Training Collars

Shock Collars

Also known by other terms as e-collars and remote training collars, shock collars are dog training collars which are designed to deliver shocks of varying degrees and lengths to a dog by means of a remote-controlled electronic apparatus that's fitted into the collar. But not all shock collars are built solely to produce shock. There are models that are designed to beep, vibrate, and shock. It's all up to the handler which mode to use depending on the dog's temperament and response.

Shock collars are one of the most controversial dog training products to hit the market. Many animal lovers and animal rights advocates associate this to cruelty. If you want to use it for your dog, you should educate yourself about it. Ask for the opinion of professionals. This will enable you to make an informed decision about it.
