The Facts About Modern Electronic Training Collars
Todays's technology is suprisingly subtle, more effective
In the 30 years since the first electronic training collars became widely available in the United States, these increasingly popular behavioral training products have been refined to produce more effective results in ways that have proven not only to be humane, but also-in fact-gentle.
Uses for Electronic Training Collars
A survey of current literature from canine behaviorists, psychologists, and veterinary researchers suggests that many behavioral problems other than aggression, fears and anxiety related behaviors may be addressed by the appropriate use of the electronic training collar. These behaviors include but are not limited to:
Excessive barking
Pulling on leash while walking
Bolting through doors
Digging
Failure to come when called
Jumping on owners/visitors
Hurdling fences
Roaming
Chasing cars/people
Destructive behavior
Trash raiding
Containment issues
