Considerations Before Purchasing a Shock Collar for Dogs

Shock collars are NOT meant to punish or hurt a dog in any way.   When set at the correct level, these collars merely divert the dog’s attention through surprise and a sense of slight discomfort.

Many owners choose to test these types of control collars on themselves prior to placing them on their dog, simply to verify that the sensation is virtually painless.

A shock collar for dogs may be appropriate when a dog’s behavior…

  • Has become uncontrollable through other forms of training
  • Endangers the dog or others

We only recommend shock collars as a last resort if and when other training collars and methods have been unsuccessful.  We want to stress the importance of correct and educated usage of any type of shock collar on your dog.

This video reinforces the proper mindset of an owner or trainer who plans to use a shock collar… it also humorously shows how shock collars feel on various settings…Remember, this is not the time to take the cheap route as not all shock collars are created equal. Cheap shock collars are usually too strong and can injure your dog. Our recommendations are solid choices if you decide that these kinds of collars are right for you.

Again, read and understand the manual before use and consider working with a professional trainer.
