Varieties of Dog Training Collars

Dog training collars include prong collars, head halters, choke collars, electronic collars. Dog harnesses and ordinary pet collars work fine for their intended purpose, however aren't considered "training collars" so will not be covered here.

Prong collars have the appearance of something out of a medieval torture chamber that might be really painful. Used properly, they are quite humane. Prong dog training collars were initially made up of metal prongs linked with each other in chain fashion. Currently they are also offered constructed from plastic material which is preferred by many. These types of collars control the 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 Haiti and Gentle Leader halters look like and work in a fashion similar to harnesses used for horses. They operate by directing the dogs' path. The dogs' body naturally follows the head and a harness really does a very good job of controlling the head. Even though they might seem to be overly restrictive, the dog rapidly becomes used to them. They are especially effective in controlling aggressive dogs.

Choke collars continue to be popular and are recommended for use in numerous 4H dog training programs notwithstanding the debate around their use. Utilized the right way, they are satisfactory dog training collars, however are very easy to misuse. When they are put on the dog incorrectly, if links become twisted or if excessive force is employed by the handler, they can, in fact, become tools of torture. Personally, I discontinued using choke collars long ago and will never return to them. There are so many superior dog training collars on the market.

Electronic dog collars are made to give the dog a small shock on command from the handler. The power can be fine-tuned from a minor buzz or tingle to get the dogs' attention to a more serious jolt. These shouldn't be used on tiny or fearful dogs and only after discussion of your situation with a reliable dog trainer. Shock collars can easily cause harm to your dog if utilized carelessly.
