Which Type of Dog Shock Collar is Best?

Adjustable Corrections

You always want to use the gentlest possible shock to achieve the desired result, so be sure to select a shock collar that allows you to adjust the intensity of the correction.

This is a fairly standard feature in most modern collars, but always check to ensure this capability is included before breaking out your credit card.

Most high-quality, multi-function shock collars will also allow you to adjust the strength of the vibration delivered too.

Audible tones are rarely adjustable on dog shock collars, but that isn’t a big problem – most emit a tone that is clearly audible, yet not loud enough to be distressing to your dog.

Waterproof Housing

You don’t want to be forced to remove your dog’s shock collar when it is raining outside, so you should always opt for models with water-resistant receivers.

And, if you are interested in training your dog while swimming (such as is often necessary for hunting dogs), you’ll want a fully waterproof model.

Note that the transmitters included with most dog shock collars are only water-resistant, so you’ll want to take care when using them in the rain or around the pool.
