Watch Your Mouth! A Warning About Electronic Collars To Those In YOUR DOG Industry
If a manufacturer or distributor wishes to sell electronic dog collars, or perhaps a dog trainer really wants to help a dog and the dog's owner with training, why on the planet would they perpetuate the hysteria that comes from describing a remote training collar as a "shock" collar?

A remote training collar is an extremely similar technology to a muscle stimulator that might be prescribed to a (human) patient undergoing physical therapy. The technology has many medical and dental uses. It is also used in the abdomen belts sold to greatly help people achieve a "6-pack" of abs.

Notice, please, that nowhere may be the word "shock" used when describing such a device to be used on an individual. The dentist does not come striding in announcing that the probe she is going to use on your own tooth is going to "shock" you. Should they used that word, a lot of people would be tearing out of the office as fast because they could go.

Additional info are terrified to be shocked. People love their dogs. No-one who loves their dog is going to be OK with shocking their dog.

There are few word combinations in the English language that inspire more fear, loathing and moral superiority than the combination of the words "shock," and "collar." One popular television celebrity dog trainer includes a You Tube video where she acts out her outrage and disgust over using a "shock" collar. The video is nearly cartoon-like in its scripted hatred of "evil" dog trainers who would shock a poor dog.

Of course, most of us who have researched the technology and become skilled at training dogs with it recognize that this television celebrity is creating a false analogy between remote training collars and the sort of electricity we've in the walls of the house. We must realize how pervasive this false analogy is. Any dog trainer or manufacturer of remote training collars should watch this video often. Lurking behind the calm and seemingly reasonable faces of a lot of your dog owning public is this exact misunderstanding, disgust and fear.

For many people, hearing the word "shock" in combination with Fluffy's training is really a door slammed shut. The emotion linked to the words "shock-collar" is so horrifying that any further discussion goes unheard by the dog's owner.

This combination of words is indeed powerful that many townships, principalities and also entire countries have banned the use of remote training collars. (In March of 2010, the principality of Whales banned the usage of all remote training collars and pet containment systems.) Government officials find it easy and convenient to climb aboard the train of community outrage over the existence of "shock" collars. The description of remote training collars as "shock" collars will do to categorically deny the freedom to use them--no further investigation needed.

"Shock" is really a word connected with lightening coming out of the sky, electricity coming out of a wall outlet, or current from a car battery. This is simply not electronic stimulation. Electronic stimulation has such low amperage that no harm will come from the static-like stimulation. Our celebrity dog trainer falsely assumes that voltage is being sent by the collar although dog's body. Nothing could be further from the reality. The soft tap-tapping used with the remote receiver collar is localized. No voltage is sent through the body. I've used the remote training collar on myself thousands of times at the best level available to demonstrate that even at the best levels, the collars simply stimulate muscles and do absolutely no damage.

The electronic stimulation found in modern remote training collars feels much like what happens to us whenever we take clothing out of a dryer. Often we feel little flicks of static. The static will not cause pain, but we do see it. On higher levels, the electronic stimulation will in actuality stimulate muscles, exactly like when we utilize it on our abs or for physical therapy. (Very seldom should a remote receiver collar used on a level high enough to stimulate muscles.)

Training with a remote collar requires competence and confidence. Used in combination with skill and positive reinforcement, your dog can be trained rapidly to incredibly high degrees of training. A properly trained dog will be able to have a great deal more freedom because the handler can communicate and issue commands even far away. A reliable dog is really a trusted partner. The well trained dog can accompany her owner a lot more often & most dogs are very eager to be by their owner's side. To be able to trust a dog never to go out in a street and obtain hit by a car, or knowing that a dog should come immediately when called gives an owner great peace of mind.

For the sake of improving the lives of dogs and their owners, this writer and dog trainer pleads with others inside our industry to take into account removing the term "shock" from your vocabulary. Words are powerful. Some words tend to be more powerful than others. Consider that utilizing the word, "shock" fosters a negative reaction that is both understandable and intensely unfortunate for dogs and their owners. Please watch your language as well as your mouth!
