Types of Electronic Dog Training Collars

electric dog training collars are the innovative means of saying goodbye to the hussles involved in training your pets. Those pet owners who find it tough to impart behavioral training by other means can now enjoy the comforts of getting their dogs trained with ease in short timeframes, using electronic dog training collars.

Kinds

Depending on how they correct dogs, electronic dog training collars are classified in three different types. These are electric collars, sonic collars, and citronella spray collars.

Electric Collars

These collars work by delivering a mild static charge to the dog whenever it barks, confusing it momentarily and training it not to bark. Some models work by having the owner activate the collar with a remote control with the press of a button.

The main advantage of the electronic collar is that it teaches a dog that barking is not allowed in certain situations, such as late at night or when visitors arrive. The collar is also very easy to use. While the collar is perfectly safe, some people still think that the use of electricity harms the dog.

Sound Based Collars

The second type of electronic dog training collar is the sonic collar. This kind of collar functions by offering a sound that distracts the pet when he gets involved in unwanted behavior. These collars are very innovative and they are prefered by those who think that the static delivering ones are cruel.

Spray Based Collars

This type of collar offers yet another approach. 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 collar is by far the most accepted one by people who think the other two are somewhat cruel, yet it requires some extra work, such as constantly refilling the canisters and taking them off at night and at times when the dog is playing and should be allowed to bark at ease.
