An electric training collar is a device that transmits electricity as a signal to the dog's neck. This wireless device uses batteries and is controlled using a transmitter. The transmitter is used to send a signal to the necklace. The electric shock from this leash serves to give the dog a stimulus, just as when you are electrocuted by static electricity. If the collar is activated when the dog behaves badly, an electric shock may prevent the dog from doing it again. An electric training collar can help you train your dog by giving him positive punishment from a distance. In addition, using this tool, your dog can still be trained even if he can't see or hear your commands.
Step
Method 1 of 2: Using an Electric Training Necklace
Step 1. Read the instructions for using the necklace
Make sure you read the instructions for using the necklace before using it. There are several types of electric training necklaces sold in the market. Also, you should know how to operate the leash before attaching it to your dog.
Step 2. Insert the batteries in the necklace and transmitter
Make sure both devices are working properly before attaching the necklace. Also, make sure the system is off and on the lowest setting before using it on a dog. This is done to ensure that the dog is not electrocuted by accident.
Step 3. Attach the collar to the dog's neck
Some collars have tiny spikes that should touch the dog's skin. However, make sure your dog is comfortable. Make sure the collar is securely attached so the spikes touch the dog's neck and the collar doesn't come off. However, don't tie the collar so tightly that your dog has difficulty breathing and feels uncomfortable.
Step 4. Let the dog wear the leash for one week before the leash is activated
Don't light the necklace too early. Instead, let the dog get used to the collar. This is done so that the dog associates the collar with feelings of pleasure and happiness, not punishment.
The purpose of using an electric training collar is for your dog to associate the bad behavior you want to stop with the electric shock, and not the collar. If you turn on the collar immediately after putting it on, your dog will notice that the collar is the source of the electric shock
Step 5. Start lighting the necklace
Start with the lowest leash setting, then watch your dog once the collar is activated. The dog's ears may twitch or the dog will move his head to remove the collar he is wearing.
If the dog doesn't respond, increase the leash setting and try again
Step 6. Train the command dog he understands
When training your dog to use an electric collar, start with a command he understands. Say a command, such as sit down or be quiet, then wait for the dog to respond. If the dog is not paying attention, turn on the electric collar and give him another command.
- Use the lowest leash setting that stimulates the dog. When using electric leashes, your goal is to train your dog, not hurt him.
- Give your dog a compliment after he responds. Reward your dog by saying "good dog," or giving him a treat. When training a dog, you must reinforce good behavior with a reward.
Step 7. Control the dog's bad behavior
You can use electric leashes to control your dog's annoying or aggressive behavior. For example, if your dog digs a hole in the yard while playing, be prepared to train your dog to use an electric collar when he is playing outside. When the dog starts digging in the ground, or behaves badly, switch on the electric collar the dog is wearing. Do not turn on the electric necklace for more than 3 seconds. Also, do not light the necklace repeatedly. The purpose of using electric leashes is to train the dog, not injure it.
Don't let the dog see you. Don't let your dog realize that you are the cause of the discomfort he feels when digging a hole. Instead, train your dog to associate electric shocks with bad behavior
Method 2 of 2: Understanding the Electric Necklace Debate
Step 1. Understand the arguments in favor of using electric necklaces
Some experts argue that leashes only conduct low-voltage electricity that can't hurt dogs, like static electricity. They also argue that electric leashes can give dogs more freedom because you can control the dog without using a leash.
Some people who use electric leashes on dogs argue about their function and purpose. Some people argue that electric leashes should be used on dogs that are very badly behaved. For example, electric leashes should be used to control dog behavior that could lead to lethal injection. Some people also use this collar to correct dog behavior. For example, if a dog destroys the garden, the owner will activate the collar to let the dog know that what he did was wrong. Some people use electric leashes when telling their dog to do something positive, such as sit, be still, or lie down
Step 2. Understand the arguments against using electric necklaces
Some people who do not support the use of electric leashes argue that leashes can be misused to torture dogs. In addition, they also argue that other training methods, such as simple training to reinforce positive dog behavior, are just as effective as electric leashes. Training to reinforce positive dog behavior focuses more on how the dog chooses to behave. In contrast, punitive training forces the dog to choose between pain and appropriate behavior.
Step 3. Make sure that electric leashes are a good option for you and your dog
Make the decision to use electric leashes if you feel that leashes can help your dog improve his behavior. If you decide to use an electric necklace, make sure you follow the instructions for using the necklace and use it properly. Don't use electric necklaces as punishment. Use an electric cloth to encourage good dog behavior.
Tips
- Do not leave the electric collar on the dog's neck for more than 12 hours. If the collar is attached too long, the dog's neck may become irritated.
- Remember, stop turning on the leashes when your dog is not behaving badly. Activate the electric necklace the first second bad behavior occurs or sooner. It's best to use the vibrate feature before stinging your dog. When the dog understands the meaning of the vibration, he will behave better:) good luck.
