Petsafe Dog Training Collars - what you need to know!
Problem Behaviors
Excessive barking, jumping, digging, chasing etc. can be controlled quickly with Petsafe dog training collars.
This is good news to those of you whose pooch is continually serenading the neighbors, emptying your trash cans, or digging to China in your back yard!
Of course, most 'problem' behaviors are actually normal, canine traits, but when they're taken to excess they can cause a lot of friction and stress, for you both.
You're upset because the neighbors complain, you're tired of finding the kitchen littered with cold coffee grounds and eggshells at 7am, and your daughter just sprained her ankle in one of Fido's 'excavations'.
He's upset because he doesn't understand why you're so upset with him, or why you're shouting and stamping your foot. After all, he's already forgotten all about the crater he dug in the back yard yesterday, and he can't hear you shouting at him to 'stop that infernal noise' until his bark-fest is over. This is where Petsafe dog training collars/electronic dog collar training comes in.
Obedience Training
First of all I'd better mention that Petsafe dog training collars are NOT magic wands. Your dog won't suddenly and miraculously obey your every command just because he's got a new 'accessory'.
In fact, it's important that you have already taught him the meaning of the commands that you want him to obey. There's absolutely no point in putting a dog training collar on Fido, and telling him to 'sit' if he's never heard the word before. No matter how many times you correct him with the collar he still won't understand what it is he's supposed to do!
However, once you've introduced the commands, and your dog understands what's expected of him, Petsafe dog training collars will help reinforce what he's already learned, and speed up the process. But as I said, they don't have any special magical powers, if you find it impossible to train your dog without a dog training collar, you won't be very likely to be successful even with the most expensive, or deluxe model.
When starting out with electronic dog collar training, always use the lowest level of stimulation (shock/electrical impulse or tone) that your dog is AWARE OF. If it's too low, it will be totally ineffective. If it's too high, it will cause your dog to panic and actually cause more problems than it solves. Start with the lowest level possible and work your way up until you can see that your dog is aware of the 'buzz' but not scared or in pain.
Even once used to the electronic dog collar, if you're training in an unfamiliar location you may need to raise the level of stimulus a bit due to the additional distractions/noise level etc.
It's also important to remember that positive reinforcement plays a huge role in training a pup or dog. So, in addition to using a dog training collar as a 'correction' for unwanted behavior, remember to use lots of praise, treats etc. to reward and encourage the desired behavior.
