Modern Technology Meets Your Dog

The electronic, and subsequently with the tonal and vibration options, dog

training collars have been with us since the JFK days. They were

originally used to train hunting dogs, and subsequently, police and military

dogs. nowadays there are a extensive array of dog training collars available

for pet training.

In preceeding years technical limitations to was the norm to these dog

training collars. It was tough to command and modulate the

strength of electrical stimulation in the collar, thus defeating the

idea of training the dog in different targeted behaviors. Often the

stimulation was too much or too little for what was trying to be accomplished. It

could be puzzling to the dog.

now the technology has advanced vastly and recent collars are

extremely sophisticated and adjustable to the needs of the animal and the

trainer. Remote control with a extensive range of settings are the norm.

Now features like vibration, soft to more electrical impulsing and

stimulation, shut-off (manual and automatic), etc. Some are even

controlled by the dog, like bark collars.

There are a number of uses for dog training collars. Bark control collars

seek to give a negative stimulation to the dog when they

begin barking. This can be in the form of vibrations, scents, loud

‘dog can hear only’ noises and electical impulses. They have become

sophisticated enough to operate only when the dog barks and not due to

outside noises.

Another familiar and popular sort of collar is the behavior training

collar, normally remote, of varying degrees of technical caliber. The

superior ones allow for more strict, fine-tuned training of a assortment

of behaviors.

A well known sort of dog training collar is the ‘invisible fence’

sort. The collar warns the dog through tones or vibrations when they

are coming upon the invisible line the owner set up. If

the dog ignores the signal and ‘crosses the line’, they get an

electrical current, the intensity of which is set by the trainer.

With all the resources available for dog training, especially the modern

remote collars, dogs and owners will be able to adore one another for

many years.
