An electronic dog collar is a dog training device you fit around your dog’s neck when proactively training your puppy during his training session to control unwanted dog behavior. 

How Does it Work? 

An electronic dog collar works by sending a small shock to your dog after your dog has displayed bad dog behavior.  The amount of shock, or voltage is controlled by a remote transmitter.

It sounds cruel, but it really isn’t when used properly and responsibly. It’s extremely effective in eliminating bad dog behavior. 

Bark Collars vs. Electronic Dog Collar

There’s a difference between a bark collar and an electronic dog collar.  Bark collars have a timing device that’s set to deliver a shock after the dog starts to bark.

With a dog training collar, you can quickly correct your dog’s behavior with a shock, which will allow him to easily distinguish good behavior from bad behavior. 

Why Use an Electronic Dog Collar? 

One of the biggest benefits of using an electronic dog collar is that you have 100% control over your dog – even when he’s not on his leash.  You can make your dog come on command, no matter how far away he is. You can also use your electric dog collar to:

• Stop dog digging
• Stop dog chewing 
• Stop jumping on you and your guests
• Stop a barking dog
• Training field dogs where there is always a distance between you and the dog

Reward Based Training or Electronic Dog Collar?

Use electronic dog collars to stop unwanted dog behavior.  For example, if you want your dog to stop jumping on you or if you want your dog to stop digging. 

Here’s Why:

You’ve got to be able to get your dog’s attention away from the digging first, then he needs incentive to stop digging. 

Trying to bribe your dog with a treat won’t work if he’s in the middle of digging up your garden!

Make Your Dog Come on Command

Use your electronic dog collar when your dog is off leash and you want him to come to you.  But since this isn’t a hard command for a dog to learn, it really is not necessary for you to use the electronic dog collar for this command. 

Still, for a stubborn do who ignores you, it works wonders.

In sum, you would want to use the electronic dog collar for hard to control bad dog behavior like digging, barking, jumping and chewing.
