Selection of the best style of dog training collar for your personal training goals is only step one. Additionally you need to ensure it is the correct size and that you know how to use it the right way. Even the best collar may not be suitable if it is not employed properly.

Styles of Dog Training Collars

Dog training collars include prong collars, head halters, choke collars, electronic collars. Dog harnesses and standard pet collars perform fine for their intended purpose, however are not considered "training collars" and so will not be covered here.

Prong collars have the appearance of some thing from a middle ages torture chamber that might be very painful. Used properly, they are quite humane. Prong dog training collars were originally made up of metal prongs linked with each other in chain fashion. Nowadays they're also available constructed from plastic which is preferred by many. These collars control your dog by means of slightly "pinching" the neck when the handler pulls on the lead. If used over aggressively, they will injure so care is needed.

Head halters such as Haiti and Gentle Leader halters look like and function in a fashion similar to harnesses used for horses. They function by directing the dogs' path. The dogs' body naturally follows the head and a harness does an exceptionally good job of controlling the head. Whilst they might look to be overly restrictive, the dog rapidly gets used to them. They are especially successful in curbing aggressive dogs.

Choke collars remain widely used and are recommended for use in numerous 4H dog training programs notwithstanding the debate surrounding their use. Utilized the right way, they are satisfactory dog training collars, but they are very easy to misuse. If they are placed on the dog incorrectly, if links become twisted or if excessive force is used by the handler, they can, indeed, become devices of torture. Personally, I discontinued using choke collars years ago and will never return to them. There are too many better dog training collars available.

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

Whatever your individual requirements, you'll find the right collar from the wide selection of dog training collars readily available on the internet. Spend a few momemts to search our site and convert your challenging dog into a pleasant,nicely socialized companion.
