Trained Dogs Rule

Using electric dog training collars is one of the most efficient ways of eliminating the hassle 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, electronic dog training collars can be categorized into three different types. The three types are electronic, sonic, and spray.

Electric Dog Training Collars

These collars operate by offering a harmless, mild static electric shock when the collar senses the vibrations of the vocal chord of the pet. Some models work by having the owner activate the collar with a remote control with the press of a button.

The main advantage of this type of training collar is that it’s very effective in training the pet and making it understand that barking is not allowed in some situations. The set up and training procedures are simple and the collar is user friendly. While the collar is perfectly safe, some people still think that the use of electricity harms the dog.

Sonic 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.

Citronella Spray Collars

The third type of electronic dog training collar is the spray collar. This collar literally sprays the dog’s muzzle with an annoying scent of citronella whenever the dog tries to bark while the collar is active. 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.
