Today, %LINL1% are a necessary part of training dogs to be on their best behavior and for socializing. As we all know, dog behavior needs to be at its best because there are laws that prohibit loud and long barking dogs, as well as neighbors that don’t appreciate them either. Dogs just follow their natural instincts, of course, and it takes some training to make it behave and keep itself and its owner out of danger and trouble. Thus, the increasing need for training collars of several types.
Chokers
Some people consider chokers to be the more humane training collars. They restrain dogs when they try to pull away from their leashes, and it can correct other types of behavior. These collars have proven useful for teaching young puppies or newly adopted dogs to behave when in the prescence of people or other dogs. Dogs eventually learn not to pull too much on their leashes while they are out on a walk to avoid the choking sensation caused when they pull on the collars. Some training collars even have protrusions that dig softly into the dog’s neck when he or she pulls too much on the leash. These types of collars also stop any sensation to the dog as soon as this one relaxes.
Electronic Dog Collars
These types of training collars emit a short shock which surprises the dog when it barks. These collars look very similar to regular collars, but they have a small gadget located next to the dog’s throat. Electronic training collars may be considered humane since the shock is actually as effective as a sharp spank. These collars are very practical and effective as long as the training is constant and supervised closely by the owner; just remember to take the collar off when training is over so that the dog can rest.
