I need to find a dog shock collar that is not a cheapy.?

Sep 17, 2006 by shawnasuebug | Posted in Dogs

My husband is going to get my dogs a shock collar which I am not happy about, however he said I could choose it. So I want to find one that is good in the way that it won't accidentally go off on them and one that has different levels so I can use the lowest level. I have heard tri-tronics might be a good one, but am not sure, can anybody with knowledge on shock collars and brands help me out? Thanks!

A shock collar can be a good training tool if used properly. The problem many people have against them is that they punish bad behavior, but they don't reward good behavior. That doesn't make them bad however. Using them irresponsibly makes them bad. You can harm your dog mentally and physically if you don't use this tool properly.
Many shock collars come with a video, explaining how to use it properly. The best E-collars are usually available for hunters and are mostly used in hunt training. Tri-tronics is the most popular maker of E-collars. Purchase a system tailored for the kind of training you need (obedience, hunting, etc). Please learn how to use it properly. Watch the videos, read the manuals and be consistent in it's use. Most all sporting good stores and catalogs that sell hunting supplies sell E-collars.
Good luck.
Folks here calling you, your husband, sadist and cruel are just plain ignorant. They are unaware of alternte training methods. I don't condone using E-collars, but you asked a legitimate question that deserved a good answer.

I am considering using a training collar to teach my dog boundaries. I need to be able to keep her off leash, but she runs off if I let her off the leash. A fence, even an invisible fence, is out of the question as its not my house. I’ve tried teaching her boundaries for the last 5 months but it is not working well. She won’t respond to "come" unless she’s in the mood. I want to use a shock collar but I worry it may be inhumane. Are they effective and are they safe to use? Then you need to set up visable boundries for your dog. Your dog must have some sort of visable thing to see to learn where the boundries are. Like flags.

If your dog does not respong to the come commad or only does so at her pleasure you need to go back and do some basic obedience work with your pet. You need to have the basics down and if your dog does not come you do not have those down yet.

BTW rescue member: before trying it on my dog i did try in on myself, on setting 1 i could not feel anything, i did feel a little jolt on setting 3, but i keep in on 1 when training my dog. I used the shock collar because my dog would jump on people when in the dog park. There is a warning signal on the collar and this is what i used mostly. I think i used the actual shock only a couple of times and it got her to pay attention to me but she did not look like she was in pain or scared.

Take caution when using shock collars, some dogs are very sensitive and will totally freak out and this might cause more behavioral problems. Try to find a trainer that will show you how to use one and how to train your dog with it.
