Electronic Collars

These collars can be a wonderful addition to your training but there can be a fine line between doing it right and wrong, just like anythig else.

You DO NOT just put these collars on and start using it on your dog, for SO many reasons. The dog has no clue what you are asking of them and you can ruin your dog. Making your dog scared to even train with you. You have to train them that it is a correction. This confussion can cause redirected aggression towards you, other paople or other dogs.

NO, your dog should not scream when using these collars... People have actually asked me that because "that's how my neighbor does it".

To reply on a comment about some dogs yelping from being startled when using the collar: There are so many variables and different circumstances in doing all training and you need to accustom yourself with each individual dog, BUT, If you train a dog 100% right on the E- collar to show them it is a correction, then NO they dont scream.
I work with so many German Shepherd's which are one of the most vocal dogs and still no screaming, it has to be done right. Yes they can yelp by being startled, its not necessarily pain, so again, that is why you train them on the collar and use it right.
Mostly what I meant was the people that use it every time making their dog yelp. An untrained person could use that as an excuse as to why it is ok.
