Contrary to what some believe, the goal behind letting dogs wear Electric Dog Collars is not to administer voltage high enough to cause yelping pain. The aim is always to interrupt your dog’s bad behavior - barking, chewing on furniture, etc. The more times the dog is annoyed at the interruption, the more chances it will remember when it receives such interruptions.

Remember that the unpleasant stimuli does not debilitate the dog. The static shock one receives from touching the outer metal casing of a refrigerator is much more severe compared to the shock a dog receives from his electric collar. This kind of obedience training is instituted by many pet owners to reduce the problems their pets cause.

There are two types of shock collars. With one type, the combination of your dog’s bark and its vibration combine to activate the stimulus. This is to ensure that the device can discriminate between your dog’s bark and any other loud sound. The second type is activated via a remote control. The remote type can be used to “punish” many types of behaviour, unlike the bark-activated one, which is limited to deterring barking.

Your dog might have the habit of stealing other people’s shoes and chewing them up, or chasing smaller pets. The immediacy of the owner’s disapproval - in the form of a shock - and the instance of the bad behavior pays off in the long run. Remote shock collars can and has been used for many kind of obedience regimen. These include, but are not limited to, hunting, pet containment, and agility training.

The aim of discontinuing your dog’s problem behavior is the same idea behind the other types of no bark collars. The types are sprays, ultrasonics, and vibration.

The instantaneous response your dog gets from the remote shock collar is effective enough to establish an experiential link between the deterrent and the type of behavior you don’t want your dog to keep carrying out. After some sessions with Electric Dog Collars, your dog will respond and curb the actions you disapprove of.
