Tips for using shock collars
At DogTrainingStore.com we specialize in
shock collars and many other fine remote dog training supplies. We’re as passionate about dogs and dog training as you are. We take dog training seriously.
dog shock collar are used for problem solving (such as jumping on people, chasing cars, stealing food, avoiding snakes) or for more general training (such as obedience training or hunting dog training). Aggressive behavior is NOT a suitable candidate for electronic collars under any circumstances without a behavior specialist supervising the activity.
Many people think of a “dog shock collar” as a last resort, designed to punish a dog when he performs poorly. However, used properly, a shock collar collar can be a boon in ANY training situation. It is used to communicate, not punish. It can give a dog confidence and give you peace of mind.
Remote Dog Training should be accomplished at the lowest stimulation level that gets an attention response without causing fear or yipping pain. Your dog should look up at you when he feels the stimulation. His neck muscle might give a small twitch, but no vocalization, lowered ear set, cowering or otherwise showing fear should be apparent. Unleashed dog training collars have a model with no shock feature at all. It is a wonderful training collar and, if used correctly, does not require the shock mode.
Many electronic dog training collars have a tone-only or vibration mode that is a wonderful candidate for positive reinforcement (reward) training. By praising the dog for a good performance simultaneously with the use of the tone button, you can condition the dog to respond positively to your praise signal. Later in his training, when he is at a distance from you, you can use it as a recall button or a “you’re getting warmer” fine-tuning communicaiton.
