'Shocking Dogs - Electronic Dog Collars'

So, you have a dog with behavior issues. You've tried everything, but nothing
has worked to keep your pooch from chewing the furniture or hosting doggy
parties when you're not home. You may have heard about electronic training
collars, and you are wondering if this might be the answer. You may figure that
an electronic collar may do a better job of getting your dogs attention and
making a lasting impression. Before you invest in this training technique, there
are some things you should know. There are different types of electronic
training collars. One type is a bark collar. As the name suggests, it is used to
stop a dog from constant, inappropriate barking. This collar is triggered by the
dogs bark. It works by either a vibration or a sound that is felt or heard by
the dog the instant the barking starts. It can be set to different levels and
responds only to your dogs bark. There are also bark collars that work by
spraying an unpleasant spray towards the dogs face as soon as he starts barking.
The other type of electronic dog training collar is the behavior correction
collar. These training collars are designed to stop unwanted behaviors,
including, digging, jumping, and running away. They work by a remote control
held by the owner or trainer. When the dog starts the unwanted behavior, the
trainer pushes the button to activate an electric shock. There are multiple
levels available depending upon how well the pooch responds. The idea with these
collars is, because they are operated by remote control, the dog will not
realize you are issuing the correction, therefore, you do not look like the bad
guy. A disadvantage to this type of collar is that you have to be with the dog
in order for the correction to be made. Although the technology and safety of
electronic dog collars has improved over the years, they are still a
controversial method for training. Many experts believe even difficult to train
dogs can learn without the use of a physical correction. Apparently, if you are
careful not to set the shock level too high, the collars are not painful, just
uncomfortable. I'm sure you can find as many people for this type of training as
opposed. I would not want to use an electronic training collar on my dogs, but
it is a personal choice, and not for me to judge. Joseph M. Sabol is a world
