Electronic Dog Collar Guide

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

Most dog owners are already frightened just upon hearing the word "shock collar" but what most people don't know is that the stimulus administered by it is no more than a nuisance on helping you to teach your dog good behavior, ignore distractions, and to listen and obey commands.

With proper knowledge and usage, an electronic dog collar can be a very helpful and effective device for training. This page contains an electronic dog collar guide to provide you assistance in using electronic dog collar.

With limitations from the first generation of electronic dog collar, manufacturers worked to refine their electronic training equipment 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 a remote dog collar is that the trainer can immediately send a signal to the dog`s unwanted or undesirable behavior at a distance far greater than leash training allows. With a reliable dog collar guide, you can better understand the functionalities of this product.

Remote Electronic Dog Collar Important Features

It is very important to consider these important features before buying and using electronic dog collar.

· 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 electronic dog 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. To have a better idea on this aspect on the electronic dog collar, you can search related electronic dog collar guide for more information.

·Range

Generally speaking, the longer the 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 using electronic dog collar for a basic yardwork obedience training, the 150 to 300 yard range is more than enough.

A comprehensive dog collar guide can provide you necessary details on range and terrain.

· Handheld Transmitter Design

The transmitter should be small enough to carry in your pocket. Manufacturers make transmitters that small and lightweight. However, dog trainers have their own personal preferences but the main feature to be considered is the resistance. Some handheld transmitters are waterproof, water resistant, and rugged punishment tested.

· Integrated Collar Design

Remote electronic dog collar should have intelligent engineering with internal antenna to avoid being caught up from the dog's body. And of course, waterproof collars are highly recommended if you intend to train your dog in our around the water.

· Manufacturer & Retailers

Rely on manufucturers that have been proven to give excellent product support. I recommend 2 of finest manufacturers (Innotek and Pet Safe). While Pet Street Mall, the fastest growing internet site with a variety of available pet products has been online since 2001 got my recommendation. Other notables are Innotek Direct, Mutt Mart, KCKaylas Pet Supplies and America Outdoor.
