Which Type of Dog Shock Collar is Best?

Adequate Range

Most training will take place at a fairly close range. However, you may need to issue corrections when your dog is at a distance, such as while teaching him to retrieve or while you are hanging out at the local dog park.

Modern dog shock collars usually work at ranges of about 800 to 1,000 feet, which is adequate for most training circumstances.

Do note that manufacturers often appear to exaggerate the range of their shock collars slightly, so if you have a concrete distance requirement, you’ll want to select one with a range that exceeds your requirements by 10% to 20%.

Rechargeable Batteries

Training collars must be fairly light, so they don’t restrict your dog’s mobility. Accordingly, the batteries they use must be relatively small, which means they won’t hold a charge for very long (perhaps a week).

Unless you want to purchase new batteries 50 times a year, you’ll want to select an e-collar that uses rechargeable batteries.

Understand that both the receiver and the transmitter require batteries, so you’ll need to recharge both components regularly.

Some of the best dog shock collars come with charging-cable splitters so that you can charge both components at the same time.
