Why You Should Use A Dog Training Shock Collar On Your Dog
Every dog owner who is considering using a Dog Training Shock Collar to
control his dog's misbehaviors should keep in mind some important points. The
majority of people have an incorrect idea about how a shock collar works.
A Rose By Any Other Name Is Still A Rose
Calling an effective tool for dog training as a "shock collar" can cause a real
shock in some people. Some people imagine a big shock, like touching an
electrical fence, but a shock collar for dog training really isn’t that bad.
There really is no actual electric current in the collar, it only gives instant
impulses, very likely to the ones that appear when you comb your hair. So, most
people choose to call the device "electric collar" or "remote collar".
Where Does It Come From?
Undoubtedly, it is clear for dog owners that the shocks are sent from the
reciever located on the training collar. However, the dog should believe that he
gets shocked every time when he repeats the particular behavioral pattern. Let
your dog have the training collar on and get used to it, especially in the times
when you pet him, feed him or play with him. This way, as soon as you start
using the electric signals for training, the dog will have no reason to link the
little static pulse he receives with the collar he is wearing.
Go Easy On Him
It may seem that the stronger electric impulse sent to the dog, the stronger
message he receives. Actually, the opposite is a better tact. It's better to
start with sending the lowest possible signals, and then, if your dog remains
unresponsive, increase the intensity level gradually. What sort of response
should you watch for? Anything that shows he noticed something different. An ear
twitch, a tail flick, a small head turn or some other movement is the most
common response. It shouldn’t be barking or acting panicked. Vocalization or
panicking is a sign that the stimulation is too high on the Dog Training Shock
Collar.
There are important things to remember when using a Dog Training Shock Collar. The shock isn’t as bad as you might think, but don’t overdo it. Learn more about your Dog Training Shock Collar and introduce it in a way that the dog won’t realize the shock came from the collar.
