Electronic Dog Training Collar

The vibration mode is nice to have. My Callie dog went deaf and I was able to train her to stop and look for me to take hand signals using the vibration mode.

Yeah, I was happy to see that almost all of them have vibration now.. jd

A little off the subject, but does anyone know of someone that repairs collars other than the collar clinic?

This option is definitely not for me. Shock collars work by causing discomfort, is the long and short of it - otherwise the correction would not reduce the 'bad' behavior. I, personally, don't want a relationship with my dog where I'm causing them deliberate discomfort on a regular basis. I feel this way about physical corrections in general; I've found it much more straightforward and effective to teach my dogs what I want them to do rather than punishing them when they do something I don't want.

Sounds like critical canine theory to me. There is no regular basis, they learn quickly and the collar is pretty much a fashion accessory in a short time -unless the dog is super stubborn- in which case the "teach" method would require more hours than the day is long to train and you end up being the one that is punished.

A long time ago, I use a Tritronics and was very please with it. Looks like Garmin bought them out. This one has nice features and the cost is reasonable. I would probably buy it if I needed one today.

+1on Tritronics (Garmin). Have used them on all of our GSP’s. Current one has tone and adjustable levels of stimulation. Rarely need anything but tone but nice to have the option. Very long range, too. It’s an older Classic 70.

You may think I am shit n you, but if you have never used a e-collar training a dog, try it on yourself 1st, at the highest level you intend to use on your dog. It is the the only way you will be able to relate to the degree of punishment you are dishing out. I think they are a great tool if used correctly, but not a short cut to proper training.

Well, matter of fact, first thing I do with a new collar is strap it on the wife, send her way out to test the effective range and degree of stimulation so we can send the customer satisfaction survey back with unbiased results.
It took several years of ownership of hunting dogs until I warmed up to the idea of shock collars after spending countless hours waiting for them to return after dark. It is healthier for them with the collar vs. being coyote or bear bait, or getting fattened on the highway.
I am talking stubborn, tempermental beagles here, not poodles or shitzus.
90% of the time the vibe function does the correction.
I missed the science class that proves humans and animals have the same pain thresholds?

...so the clerk at the local feedstore was playing with a hot shot and leaned it up against the wall. So local Joe comes in admiring this new green rechargeable model in all of its splendor. Joe's attractive lady friend walks by in a tight pair of wranglers and in a lapse of sanity proceeds to poke his lady's posterior with said hotshot. Joe's lack of better judgement cost him a pretty lady and quite a bit of embarrassment since said incident was caught on the security cam. She pretty much whipped his axx right there in the store. Ole Joe did not even touch the trigger--there must be a capacitor that can discharge when the prongs encounter a cow (or a lady) I giggle every time I see either one of them. true story...LOL
