No matter the behavior issue at hand – barking, chasing cats or any other behavioral issue, or simply training him off-leash for hunting and outdoor activities – an electronic training collar (e-collar) may be your perfect solution. E-collars use electronic stimulation to correct behavior at a distance while still remaining humane; for those just beginning, budget-friendly models might be best so that you can observe how your pup responds before making a larger investment in remote training e-collars before making larger investments in higher end models (eg if it seems necessary).
This system’s 330-foot range and user-friendly design make it the ideal solution for beginners in electronic collar training. Featuring three training modes and vibration and static shock levels (0-16 levels), its contact points are constructed of conductive silicone covered by metal spring sheets to prevent skin irritation even with prolonged usage.
Many people may be put off by the thought of using a shock collar, but modern e-collars provide safe and controlled electrical stimulation that feels only like a small tingle to your dog. Some systems even include vibrate features to communicate with your pup prior to administering static correction – known as pre-stimulation for humane results.
E-collar Technologies’s Educator collar offers excellent value for its price, featuring two receivers for training two dogs simultaneously. It boasts a half-mile range, three training modes with tone (beep), vibration, and 10 static stimulation levels; short and long prongs to accommodate different dog breeds; plus short prongs designed specifically to reduce night tracking light interference.
