Some dog owners fret at the usage of dog training collars, because they have been misinformed and told they are inhumane. This is simply not true. The stimulation applied by the collar is not the jarring charge of electricity that some people imagine it to be, but rather a corrective pulse designed to get the dog's attention. Our products come from trusted manufactures and have been well tested for safety. The use of a dog training collar should never be abused. Learn how to effectively use these devices with this Dog Training Collar Guide.

With the limitations of the first generation of dog training collars, manufacturers have worked hard to refine their electronic training equipment with variations of multiple stimulation levels from the hand-held remote transmitter. The benefits of working with dog training collars is that the trainer can immediately send a signal to alert the dog when they are displaying an unwanted or undesirable behavior from a distance far greater than a leash would allow.

Important Features of Dog Training Collars:

You will surely find it helpful to read over this guide and understand these important key features before buying one of our high quality Dog Training Collars.


· Multiple Stimulation Levels

A remote handheld transmitter must be flexible to better match the stimulation level needed for correction of the dog based on its temperament. The intensity level of the stimulation also needs to be appropriate to the size of the dog being trained. Larger dogs will require a high stimulation to follow and obey commands. With a smaller collar, a big dog may not respond as well to such a weak pulse. Many dog training collars are now clearly marked as to what size of dog the training collar was created for.

There are two main types of stimulation available on the market today. The first is the continuous stimulation, which delivers an electronic stimulation to the dog for as long as the button on the hand-held remote transmitter is being pressed. The second type is the momentary stimulation that is sometimes called a "nick". The dog will only receive a very short electronic stimulation within seconds. Some of these collars also have a convenient built in auto shut off feature available to prevent accidental corrections that could complicate training. Less notable types are spray and ultrasonic stimulation as well as some collars offering the option to switch between electronic stimulation and either vibration or tone.


· Range

Typically the wider the range that the signal can reach the better, but not if it will not be used. The effective range of a Dog Training Collar can change according to the terrain, the environment, and the line of sight conditions. For in the field training, it is strongly suggested to use a long range device so that the transmitter can still produce a reliable and strong signal when needed. A 150 to 300 yard range is good enough for basic yard work obedience training, but will not be the most efficient if you plan to train your dog in a park or at the beach.


· Handheld Transmitter Design

The handheld transmitter should be small enough to fit into your pocket so that it will be readily available. Our manufacturers make their transmitters small and lightweight for your convenience. Another important feature to consider is the resistances of the transmitter. Some of the dog training collars that we sell come with a handheld transmitter that is waterproof, water resistant, and/or tested for rugged punishment.


· Integrated Collar Design

Dog Training Collars ought to have intelligent engineering with an internal antenna to avoid being caught by the dog's body. The collar will need to be sized appropriately to best fit the dog that will be wearing it. If you have both a small and a large dog, it is NOT advisable to share the collar between the two dogs. Also, be sure to use a waterproof collar if you intend to train your dog outside or near water.
