Varieties of Dog Training Collars

Dog training collars include prong collars, head halters, choke collars, electronic collars. Dog harnesses and standard pet collars work fine for their intended purpose, however are not regarded as "training collars" and so will not be included in this article.

Prong collars possess the appearance of something out of a medieval torture chamber that might be quite painful. Used properly, these are pretty humane. Prong dog training collars were initially made up of metallic prongs linked to each other in chain fashion. Nowadays they are also obtainable made out of plastic that is favored by many. These collars control your dog by slightly "pinching" the neck when the handler pulls on the lead. If used over aggressively, they can cause pain so care is needed.

Head halters such as the Haiti and Gentle Leader halters resemble and work in a fashion much like harnesses intended for horses. They work by directing the dogs' path. The dogs' body naturally follows the head and a harness does a remarkably good job of controlling the head. While they may seem to be overly restrictive, the dog easily gets accustomed to them. They are particularly useful in managing aggressive dogs.

Choke collars remain widely used and are also suggested for use in many 4H dog training programs in spite of the controversy surrounding their use. Utilized the right way, they are suitable dog training collars, but they are easy to misuse. If they are put on the dog improperly, if links become twisted or if excessive pressure is employed by the handler, they can, indeed, become devices of torture. For me personally, I discontinued using choke collars long ago and will never return to them. There are many better dog training collars available.

Electronic dog collars are made to give the dog a slight zap upon command from the handler. The severeness can be adjusted from a minor buzz or tingle to get the dogs' interest to a more severe jolt. These should never be used on small or timid dogs and only following discussion of your situation with a reliable dog trainer. Shock collars can easily cause harm to your dog if utilized carelessly.
