Types Of Electronic Dog Training Collars

 

Using electronic dog training collars is one of the most efficient ways of eliminating the hussle that comes with 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.

Different Electronic Collars

Based on the type of correction stimulus, electric dog training collars can be categorized into three different types. The three types are electronic, sonic, and spray.

Electric 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 of these collars work with the operation of a control remote that the owner uses to activate the collar.

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 set up and training procedures are simple and the collar is user friendly. 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 Based Collars

The second type of electronic dog training collar is the sonic collar. These sonic collars emit a sound that only dogs can hear and which prevents them from keep barking. These collars are usually preferred by those who think that the ones that deliver static shocks are unethical and cruel.

Spray Based Collars

The third type of electronic dog training collar is the spray collar. They are equipped with a canister which sprays the citronella when it detects the vibrations caused by barking. 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.
