What are dog training collars and how do they work?

A dog training collar is a term widely used for a variety of different types of collars for your dog. They could mean an Elizabethan collar that is a funnel to keep your dog from licking, a bark collar that responds to your dogs barks to activate a deterrent, or even a collar that pinches while on a leash to prevent pulling. But when referring to an all-encompassing collar that will allow you hands-on control to train your pup on everything, generally that means an electronic collar of some kind. There are three primary types of these training collars and they typically all have remotes for you to activate the deterrent: Static shock, vibration, and sound. The static shock will emit a shock closely comparable to that of a static shock and relies on discomfort to show your dog that bad behavior means negative feelings. The vibration will primarily rely on surprise and some discomfort to associate unpleasantness with the bad behavior. Sound will utilize your dog’s more sensitive hearing to teach him that his bad behavior will put off a disagreeable noise (usually a beep). Each of these three deterrents will often have a range of intensity that you can control based on your dog’s size and temperament. A training collar is ideal for those who want to use an aid, but still have full control of their dog’s training themselves.
