The fact of the matter is that, although certainly the potential for abuse when such collars are used properly, are perfectly safe for the training of their dogs.

Types of training Necklaces

There are basically three types of training collars are available with the correction electronics. Each has a specific function. In each case, your dog wear a collar that has two probes attached to it to get a signal from a transmitter. Let's look at the types of collars and how they are used:

Anti-Bark Collars – let's face it, friends, neighbors and family members can quickly become in angry with a dog that barks at all hours of day and night. It's a habit that once you release may become a life long problem. An anti-wear a necklace from the bark of a gentle stimulation from "remembering" your dog that barking is inappropriate. Most dog owners who use this type of collar used for a period very short time. This necklace is activated only when the dog barks. For most, this collar is used for a short time until the dog understands that barking is not acceptable.

Field and Game Necklaces – when training a hunting dog, it is important that the dog understand commands that are occurring. A dog that is constantly ignored commands, misbehaves or gets out of his own mission is of little value to you during a hunt. These collars are designed for the coach to deliver the stimulation through a sound (as a warning) or with either a short vibration or static correction. These collars, when used properly, are not dangerous to your dog. It is important that you follow all manufacturer's instructions.

Perimeter Training Collars – for those who care about security of their animals, these training collars are a gift. You want to keep your pets safe in your own backyard. Nothing is more annoying than running down the street calling a dog that has "escaped" from his own garden. These collars work by emitting a warning mail to your dog when he has crossed certain acceptable behaviors. Not enough research to suggest that these methods are harmful to your dog.

Abstract
While you certainly should keep abreast of changes in the electronic collar stimulation, must make its own decision on whether an electronic stimulus is the method of training for your dog. Many owners have tried really the necks of themselves to determine the level of stimulation that is emitted from the neck. It's a proven fact that these collars are safe, effective and have long term adverse effects on your dog.

Some will argue that dogs are abused with these collars. This is not only false, but is frankly insulting to the users of these necklaces. Responsible dog owners, trainers and pet owners, never use the necks of anger and certainly not are subject to fits of anger or abuse of dogs. It is important to note that like any other tool you use to your dog on a leash, as a rule, neck and even a toy, an irresponsible person can harm a dog with nothing – not even a stick. However, it is a well established fact that most dog owners, breeders and coaches are responsible and do nothing to harm a dog.

It is important to remember that these collars are training tools. While there may be cases well-documented abuses, it is also important to remember that these cases are rare, and that a responsible coach or owner of the dog decides what training method to use for your dog after a thorough investigation, receiving expert advice and making decisions based on facts, not fiction.
