How does e-collar work?

The remote dog training collar, o e-collar, sometimes referred to as e-collars, shock collars, or simply remote collars has the same included parts. They have just been called different names. It includes a transmitter, receiver, and collar probes. When you set your transmitter to vibration, tone, or shock and intensity of stimulation, the transmitter sends a signal to the dog's training collar receiver. The receiver has steel probes that it receives stimuli sent by the transmitter, but the probes have to fit against your dog's skin or as close as they can be, as some have pretty big fur.

Have you ever gone to a therapist where they hook you to a machine? This is what electric stimulation looks like, it is not a shock. It has several levels of intensity starting from very low to medium and medium to high. Dog training collars have a vibration option or a GPS signal that you could track your dog. 

Types of e-collars available

We tend to make better and better things and a dog training collar is not an exception. The technology gets way more advanced every year. Finding the one you need can be daunting. There are so many options like touch LCD screens and GPS where you can connect to your phone, different dials, etc. Every collar has its own features, stimulation options and battery life. Most of the manuals are easy to understand, but it can take a little time to used to the gadget and to get the best out of your dog.

Things to consider before buying an e-collar for the dog.

Occasion.What you will be using your dog training collar for? Do you have a companion dog or he is a hunting dog. This is important due to the mile range and battery life. 1/2 mile range or less, 3/4 miles for more active dogs, and a 1+ mile for hunting dogs.

The temperament of the dog.  Is he very enthusiastic or very laid back? We are looking at low mild stimulation or low - high stimulation.

The Size Of The Dog. This is a crucial part of choosing a dog training collar. The receiver size has to fit the dog size. Compact receivers fit dogs as small as, 10lbs or less. Medium size waterproof receiver by Dogtra fits 15-35lbs and large size for dogs 35lbs or more.

If you won't be using them for long periods of time it's better to have them fully charged from time to time every 8 weeks or so, this way you will be extending battery life.

Are Dogtra collars any good?

The Dogtra training collar is absolutely incredible. For the most benefit is better if the dog knows simple commands already, but it will be an awesome product to train your dog off-leash. If you have a trained dog you can just simply add this in and you'll have a dog you can certainly have off leash knowing that you can be in control at all times. Your dog will be so happy knowing he or she can be off leash and still enjoy freedom running around and you will be happy and assured he/she won't run off.

Do dog training collars hurt dogs?

I think it's a great time to address and clear up some misbeliefs about collars that shock and hurt dogs. This is not a tool that is meant to hurt your dog, it is simply a tool and it has to be used responsibly. People like to comment negatively and call names dog owners who use dog training collars. If you use it correctly you won't hurt your dog in any way, shape, or form. So the answer is NO, it won't hurt your dog. The static shock is annoying but not in no way painful, and it is designed to get your dog's attention, it will not hurt your dog.

How do you introduce a Dogtra collar to a dog?

When introducing the dog training collar you want to do it in a non-distracted way, using lots of positive reinforcement. You can use escape training, which means that the dog is escaping the pressure through compliance. For example, if you ask the dog to lie down through verbal command that the dog already knows. Every time you ask the dog to lie down you also be tapping the collar unit until he complies. That way he can associate the command with stimulation. It is very important when you train your dog with the e-collar to always press the button when asking for a command.

How long does it take to train a dog with an e-collar?

There isn't a formula or exact time frame on when the dog will be trusted without a collar. Some get comfortable with dog training collars and reliable without it way sooner than others. You can't guarantee a certain amount of hours to be enough. If your dog will be running around in your backyard, it surely takes less time, but if you planing to take your dog to competitions, hunting, or big open areas it takes longer. What you have to be is consistent in training, and patient and I have confidence that somewhere around 6-12 months you should be comfortable with your dog in everyday situations.

What are the differences between E-Collars and Shock Collars

Could an e-collar be harmful and painful to your dog? It could be if the collar was in the hands of a hostile person and turned all the way up What about the walkie-talkie? Can it be harmful? Sure if you hit someone to the head. Is a tool and only can be harmful if you make it.

Too bad some people are stuck in the stone age when it comes to dog training tools or any tools. Shock color doe's what the name suggests, shock because it has only a few options/ levels and dog training collar has around 0-130 levels where you can, set your dog training color number 3 or 4 and therefore your dog won't feel any pain or shock.

Should dogs wear an e-collar all the time?

The short answer is no. The problem with that is that most owners usually forget to take it off and the dog ends up wearing it all the time, or through the night, but in reality, 4 hours a day for training is more than enough.

What we think

At hunting Giant we love dogs and we think that the dog training collar is the best training tool for dogs that came out in years. With many improvements that we have now with the e-collar like the tone mode, GPS tracker, and vibrate mode we can use this in the best and dog-friendly way when it comes to dog off-leash training.
