Using A Dog Training Shock Collar To Correct Your Dog's Bad Conduct
To use a Dog Training Shock Collar safely and properly, it is essential to
remember some very important things. As a rule, using a shock collar for dog
training is linked to certain fallacies, which can be demystified.
The Power Of Name
Calling an effective tool for dog training as a "shock collar" can cause a real
shock in some people. Some people imagine a big shock, like touching an
electrical fence, but a shock collar for dog training really isn’t that bad.
There really is no actual electric current in the collar, it only gives instant
impulses, very likely to the ones that appear when you comb your hair. Many
people prefer to use less intimidating names for the training method they are
using – like electronic collar or remote collar.
Is It Coming From The Collar?
Undoubtedly, it is clear for dog owners that the shocks are sent from the
reciever located on the training collar. But the main idea is making the dog
believe that he receives the electric signals as a response on his wrong
behavior. The best way to do this is to let him wear the collar for a while as
you play with him, pet him, and give him positive stimulation. This way, as soon
as you start using the electric signals for training, the dog will have no
reason to link the little static pulse he receives with the collar he is
wearing.
Go Easy On Him
A dog owner may believe that sending the stronger electric signal to the animal
will result in a better reaction of the dog. However, it is not really true.
It's better to start with sending the lowest possible signals, and then, if your
dog remains unresponsive, increase the intensity level gradually. What sort of
response should you watch for? Anything that shows he noticed something
different. It could be a twitch of the ear, a scratch of the head, turning the
head, or something else. However, do not make your dog jump up and make weird
noises. Vocalization or panicking is a sign that the stimulation is too high on
the Dog Training Shock Collar.
There are important things to remember when using a Dog Training Shock Collar. The shock isn’t as bad as you might think, but don’t overdo it. Learn more about your Dog Training Shock Collar and introduce it in a way that the dog won’t realize the shock came from the collar.
