An electronic dog collar is a dog training device you put around your dog’s neck when proactively training your pet during its training session to control bad dog behavior. 

How Does it Work? 

An electronic dog collar works by sending a small shock to your pet after your dog has displayed bad dog behavior.  The amount of shock, or voltage is controlled by a remote transmitter.

It sounds mean, but it really isn’t when used properly and responsibly. It’s also super effective in correcting unwanted dog behavior. 

Bark Collars vs. Electronic Dog Collar

Don’t confuse a bark collar with an electronic dog collar.  Bark collars have a timing device that’s set to deliver a shock after the dog starts to bark.

With a dog training collar, you can quickly correct your dog’s behavior with a shock, which will allow him to easily distinguish good behavior from bad behavior. 

Why Use an Electronic Dog Collar? 

You can easily control your dog with an electronic dog collar.  You can make your dog come on command, no matter how far away he is. You can also use your electric dog collar to:

  • Stop your dog digging up your garden
  • Stop dog chewing 
  • Stop dog jumping
  • Stop your dog from barking
  • Training field dogs where there is always a distance between you and the dog

Reward Based Training or Electronic Dog Collar?

Electronic dog collars are used to break certain bad dog behavior when conventional reward-based training fails.  For example, if you want your dog to stop jumping on you or if you want your dog to stop digging. 

Here’s Why:

You first have to get your dog’s attention. 

Trying to bribe your dog with a treat won’t work if he’s in the middle of digging up your garden!

Make Your Dog Come on Command

A really good use for an electronic dog collar is to get your dog to come when he’s off leash.  But since this isn’t a hard command for a dog to learn, it really is not necessary for you to use the electronic dog collar for this command. 

Still, for a stubborn do who ignores you, it works wonders.

Ideally, you want to use an electronic dog collar for hard to control behavior. 

How to Safely Use an Electronic Dog Collar

Like any other training device, electronic dog training devices need to be used with caution.  Opponents find it inhumane to use an electronic dog collar as a training device.  

If you are trained on how to use it effectively, your dog will learn effectively. On the contrary, if used incorrectly, you will get unpredictable results and you could harm your dog.

There is always the danger of misusing electronic dog collars if.

If you’re a lazy dog owner who wants to use an electronic dog collar or an anti-bark collar as a quick fix for your dog’s bad behavior then this is not the device for you.

This type of dog training device should only be used by someone who is well trained in the use of electronic dog collars.
