E Collars Guide

"A collar won't be any good unless you know how to use it"

Upon hearing the term "shock collar", most people already associate it with excessive pain, inhumane ways, and animal cruelty. But as opposed to the common misconception, the electric stimulation applied by the collar is not the jarring, painful charge of electricity that some people imagine to be physically harmful to the dog. The stimulus administered is usually no more than a nuisance on helping you to teach your dog good behavior, ignore distractions, and to listen and obey commands. Here are some important things to remember in using e-collars.

With limitations from the first generation of e collars manufacturers worked to refine their electronic training equipments with a variation of multiple stimulation level from the hand-held remote transmitter. The trainer can now select from one of the three main intensity level for a particular corrections: high, medium and low. The benefits of working with remote dog collars, is the trainer can immediately send a signal to the dog`s unwanted or undesirable behavior at a distance far greater than leash training allows. Below is an e collars guide to provide necessary information on proper collar operation and use.

Remote E Collars Guide - Important Features

It is very important to consider these important features before buying remote e collars.

· Multiple Stimulation Levels
Remote hand-held transmitter must have the flexibility to match the stimulation level to your dog's temperament. Stimulation intensity level must also be appropriate to the size of your dog. Larger dogs need a high stimulation to follow and obey your commands while a small collar, your dog may not respond from the radio frequency if the stimulation is too weak. Most training e-collars now clearly indicate what size of dog the training collar is intended for.

There are 2 forms of stimulation available on the market today. First is the continuous stimulation, this method of correction delivers an electronic stimulation to the dog as long as the button is pressed from the hand-held remote transmitter. The second form is the momentary stimulation or sometimes called "nick". The dog will only receive a short electronic stimulation within seconds. Auto shutoff features are also available on some remote transmitter. You can read other tips on remote e collars for additional details in using e-collars.

· Range

Generally speaking, the more range, the better. Effective range of an electronic collar can vary according to terrain, environmental and line of sight conditions. If you are training your dog in the field, it is recommended to have a long range training collar so the transmitter can still produce a reliable strong signal when if its needed. However, if you are only doing a basic yardwork obedience training, the 150 to 300 yard range is more than enough.
