Shock Collar

Shock Collars

Static shock collars are commonly used to control a range of undesired behaviours in family dogs. The device allows you to administer a quick, static shock to your dog to get rid of its problematic behaviour. These collars are an effective way to prevent your dog from barking, jumping on people, and biting at things they shouldn't. They can also be used to stop your dog from digging or chewing on furniture or carpets.

Since the introduction of static shock collars for dogs, a significant amount of support and training has gone into making these collars not only safer, but also easier to use. The shock or static charge delivered by these collars is completely harmless but effective enough to startle your dog from committing an unwanted act. The static shock collars available at eDog usually have several intensity levels, and if you start at the base level, you'll find that most dogs will respond well to it. 

How to train a dog with a shock collar?

Unlike other, more traditional, and time-consuming leash training setups, these collars encourage positive behaviour changes within your puppy in almost any situation without creating fear.

We suggest you follow these steps to use a shock collar as a training tool:

Begin with the fundamentals:

Remember that your dog wasn't born with a leash on, so it’s important not to react negatively. Consider it a teachable moment and slowly guide the dog through an adjustment period. When you teach your dog the basics easily and straightforwardly, you'll develop a stronger bond between you and your dog. 

Allow your dog to become accustomed to the collar: Allow your dog to wear the collar for some time without being corrected. Shock collars have a different sensation than other collars, so give your dog time to grow used to them. It is also important to determine how much time your dog should spend on the device to get results. Aim to correct your dog's behavioural issues within four or five months of collar training.

Demonstrate the desired behaviour to your dog: If you expect your dog to behave in a certain way but don't tell them what you want, using a shock collar to discipline them won't help. Use cues so they learn exactly what is required of them. When you want your dog to sit, instead of just telling them to ‘sit’, show them with your body language and a downward hand motion. Get very excited when they sit down and make it worth their while by giving a treat or moving on to another cue for something else they know how to do. Then go back and start again from where you left off in your demonstration. A static collar can be used when your dog deliberately decides to disobey your commands.

Use other strategies to supplement the shock collar: Make sure you employ a range of training approaches, including positive reinforcement, so that your dog understands what to do when you make a request, even if you're only out with a collar or a harness. Positive reinforcement occurs when your dog receives a reward when they perform the desired behaviour. This can be anything from praise to a treat or anything else that the dog finds rewarding. 

Static shock collar training, when done correctly, can eradicate troublesome behaviours, teach useful abilities, and eventually eliminate the need for the shock collar.

What are the benefits of shock collars?

Shock collars use static electricity to condition dogs to avoid certain behaviours. It is a great technique to teach your dog to obey commands off the leash. It also comes in handy when voice commands aren't available. Some dogs just do not respond to commands given verbally. It's possible that other dogs won't be able to hear them at all. If your dog doesn't respond well to verbal commands, a static shock collar could be a good approach to let them know what they shouldn't do.

The shock collar continues to work even when you are not around. A collar of this sort is very important for your dog's safety as well as for giving him a great attitude, which you should aim for. A collar and an invisible fence, for example, can prevent your dog from running onto a busy street. There is a risk that if these behaviours are not corrected in a timely manner, people may attempt to hurt your dog in retaliation.

A dog training collar allows you to efficiently manage your dog’s aggression without putting yourself in danger. It also works when you're not around, so your dog receives a clear indication whenever it engages in aggressive behaviour. This avoids dogfights and other potentially dangerous situations.

It also provides immediate feedback. It is important that you deliver rewards as soon as possible so that your dog can relate them to the appropriate behaviour. Likewise, it can be difficult to time things correctly when utilising other training methods. A dog training collar provides information at the precise moment it is required.
