Training Collars for Your Puppy

 Basic dog training collars come in many variants, from electronic ones which obviously cost slightly more, to basic dog walking collars. Basic Dog training collars are all about communicating with your dog, it is not intended as a form of punishment. Since a training collar allows you to communicate with your dog immediately after a certain behavior has taken place he will quickly understand that there is a connection between the behavior and the electric stimulation. This will teach your pet that he is in control; that by refraining from the negative behaviour he eliminates the collar stimulation.

These training collars consist of a radio receiver attached to the collar and a transmitter that the trainer holds. When triggered, the collar delivers an aversive. The specific aversives vary with different makes of collars. Some emit sounds, some vibrate, some release citronella or other aerosol sprays, some apply electrical stimulation. Modern electrical collars are adjustable, allowing the trainer to match the stimulation level to the dog’s sensitivity and temperament. They deliver a consistent and measured level of aversive stimulation that produces significant discomfort and startle without risk of producing permanent physical injury.

Basic dog training collars such as walking collar/harness systems, assist in teaching your dog that pulling or doing any other unwanted actions during a walk are negative behaviours. This will ultimately bring the master and their friend much closer since a walk will focus on each other rather than controlling actions.

Basic dog training collars will assist in teaching basic commands such as:

SIT, DOWN, STAY, COME, HEEL and CLOSE (when walking on leash).

Although these systems are a very helpull aid in training a dog, these should not be used at the earliest stages of a puppies development. It is also recommended that dog owners insterested in pursuing this method of training, should acquire more knowledge from a professional trainer. Whatever the choice, basic dog training collars are a great aid in developing that close relationship between dog and master.
