Electronic dog collars are a very effective way to discipline your dog. No matter the size of your dog, they provide long-lasting training, whether it be a 2-pound Chihuahua or a 200-pound Great Dane. Despite what some people may think, they are very humane in the way they work.
There are three basic types of electronic collars:
Anti-Bark
Perimeter Control
Field Training
Anti-Bark Collars
Dogs that bark relentlessly can be a source of ear-splitting annoyance for an owner. These collars effectively curb out-of-control barking by emitting a small electrostatic charge to the dog’s neck at the area of his vocal cords, within a safe tolerance of the dog, of course. There are many different models of bark collar, but they all work similarly. First, the collar gives a warning beep, then it vibrates, and then emits the charge. Dogs quickly learn to stop barking when they hear that beep, before they get zapped. Some models will emit a correction when the dog whines, before the behavior escalates to barking. Trainers can control the features of the collar by adjusting the intensity and duration time of the correction.
Perimeter Control and Electronic Fencing
These collars are great for owners who do not wish to put up expensive fencing around their yard. The electrostatic emitter on the collar works with a device that marks the perimeter of the area that the dog is allowed in. This device could be a wire buried underground or an adjustable emitter that creates a radius around it. When the device on the collar comes near the perimeter, it emits a warning beep. If the dog does not move to within the safe zone, it will emit an electrostatic correction, and will periodically keep emitting it until the dog is within its limits. The levels and intervals of the corrections are adjustable by the owner. Usually, flagging is set at the boundaries as a visual barrier to tell the dogs where the boundaries are. Over time, more and more flags are taken away until the dog learns exactly where he can and cannot go. This method can be very effective when used properly, and as with any training, must be consistent.
Field Training Collars
A very popular and highly effective use of electronic training collars is in the field for hunting or working dogs. In this instance, the collars work in conjunction with a hand-held transmitter that the owner or trainer carries. The trainer can use the collar to interrupt bad behavior or to send warning beeps or vibrations when bad behavior is beginning. As with the other types of collar, these are controllable by the person using it and have a long range, allowing for distance field training (like retrieving, herding, etc.) without the use of cumbersome long leashes. They are water/weather proof and very durable and end the frustration of distance training without this valuable tool.
New Developments
There are now ultra-sonic training collars that work the same way these other models do, but issue a high-pitched, ultra-sonic sound rather than a static charge. This eliminates the argument about whether the collars are humane and testing shows that it can be just as effective as the other collars at deterring bad behavior and training good habits.
There are many electronic dog collars out on the market ranging from training collars to bark collars to tracking collars. Some great collars are the SportDOG 400 and the SportDOG 2400. Look into them and see which one is best for you
