Dog Training Collars
Dog Training Class requiring “training collar” – what do you think?
They haven’t met my dog, and didn’t specify what kind of training collar was required. My dog is rather sensitive to corrections, except on-leash ones.
What do you think?
The class is intermediate obedience, and my dog isn’t too sensitive to light corrections (quick tug on the leash, verbal “no” corrections). I took her for a test run with the choke chain (it was pictured in the brochure with correct instructions) last night and she was fine. If I can find the Martingale we used before I lost it, I think I’ll go with that. Thanks everyone!
Training collar suggests to me either a choke or prong collar, neither which are cruel or painful if used correctly. The problems you hear about with these collars come about from misuse. I personally know of far more problems with imbedded flat collars than I do injuries from Training Collars. Like anything else, they can cause damage, but also like anything else they are completely safe when used correctly.
Usually, if trainers are referring to a shock collar, they will specifically say ‘electric’ or ‘shock’ collar, which again, are only cruel if used incorrectly.
I find it amusing that people are quick to call a training tool cruel or barbaric when they have never even witnessed the correct use of it. Crates can be used cruelly, but most dog owners would agree that when used right they are an effective training tool that the dog doesn’t mind in the least. It all comes down to the way it is used and the attitude of the person using it. As long as the correction is not at all stronger than the dog needs to respond then what is the harm? I personally have used both the prong and electric collars on my own neck to test the sensation and found them not to be painful at all. Can anyone that is condemning the use of these tools say that they have experienced it for themselves??
Sorry, sore subject for me. People tend to judge before having all the info and I find that to be unacceptable.
Anyway, as long as the trainer is only advising to give the corrections at a level that the dog responds positively to and the dog does not shut down, then fine. Just communicate to the trainer that your dog is sensitive and ask that the trainer give very light corrections and add intensity until you find just the right level.
