Electronic Dog Collars

!9# Electronic Dog Collars

If you are having no success in training your dog to stop undesirable behavior like persistent barking, digging and feces eating, modern electronic dog training collars can be used to correct these problems in a humane way. There are many types of these dog collars but they all serve to correct bad habits. Some of these electronic devices include shock dog collars, wireless fences with shock collars, citronella collars, vibration collars, sonic and ultrasonic collars. Electronic pet training collars also come with or without a remote control.

The electric shock collar is the most popular electronic dog training collar. The phrase 'electric shock collar' does sound cruel and inhumane. But the electric shock is applied incrementally. If you were to apply the electric shock to yourself, you would find that the shock emitted by the first setting on the collar is barely detectable. The electric shock collar is usually used to stop a dog from barking. You should understand that many dogs do need to bark. Train your dog to bark in a designated area or room for a short period of time if they need to. Most shock collars have a vibration only mode. Vibration collars vibrate on your dog's neck when he or she needs correction. The vibration is similar to the sensation you get if you set your cell phone to vibrate and the phone rings while in your pocket.

The citronella scent collar does not emit any shock. Instead, it sprays the scent of citronella when your dog barks. Citronella scent collars are generally not as effective as shock collars when it comes to controlling barking. However, citronella collars are extremely effective if your dog eats his own or other dogs' feces and you want to completely stop the disgusting behavior. Bear in mind that you do need to factor in the cost of replacement canisters if the citronella runs out.

Ultrasonic and sonic collars are another effective way to train your unruly dog. Ultrasonic collars emit a very high pitch sound that humans cannot hear but dogs can. Sonic collars use sound waves that are audible to humans. Ultrasonic collars can be tricky to use at first because you cannot hear whether they are working. Some sonic collars also have a vibration mode.

A wireless fence is used to contain your dog and to train him or her not to leave a predefined area. The fence will go around a perimeter and your dog will wear a special collar. When your pet crosses the invisible wireless fence line a mild corrective stimulation will be applied to your dog.

Although there has been quite a controversy on the use of dog electronic collars they are considered safe to use. As long as the instructions are followed and all the different features are used properly there is no harm involved in the use of these collars.

PetSafe Instant Fence Wireless Invisible Fence

!9# PetSafe Instant Fence Wireless Invisible Fence

What is an invisible fence, and when should it be used?

The Instant Fence system was originally designed to be used in RVs. The idea was to give pet owners who already had pets being contained by an wired fence system a portable system to take with them when camping or on vacation. It was never originally intended to be a replacement for the 'underground' (wired) fences. However, because of its 'Plug & Play' functionality, the Instant Fence quickly became a favorite item of pet owners.

Recently the Instant Fence received a significant upgrade. In the past, it only came with a rather large, 1 level receiver collar that was best suited for medium to larger dogs due to its size and strength. PetSafe wisely changed the receiver to an adjustable 6 level collar and reduced its size by 20%. This made this
system much more beneficial, as now pets as small as 8 lbs and as large as 100 lbs or more can be contained by this system.

The Instant Fence and its receiver collar - the PIF-275 are the only PetSafe Invisible Fence items that are not interchangeable with any other PetSafe system. The reason for this is that they work in exactly the opposite way from an 'underground' (wired) system. When activated, the PIF-300 emits a radio signal up to 90 feet in every direction in a perfect circle.

The PIF-275 receiver worn by the pet is always hearing this signal and therefore it does not activate. However once the dog walks out of the zone and the collar loses this signal, that is when the receiver wakes up and begins to correct the pet via stimulation through 2 contact points on the Receiver Collar that touch your pet's neck.

With an underground fence, the only place that the signal exists is around the buried boundary wire. Once the pet walks up to that wire and the receiver hears the signal, it then wakes up and activates.
So with our Instant Fence, the receiver collar needs to always hear the signal; otherwise it activates.
With our 'underground' (wired) systems, the receiver collar never wants to hear the signal; if it does, then it activates.

The two main drawbacks to our Instant Fence are:

1. It has a maximum range of 90 feet in any direction.

2. The boundary shape cannot be adjusted. It can only transmit in a perfect circle in every direction. If you wish to increase the boundary, you may use multiple transmitters and overlap the signal to create a boundary of 180 feet in every direction but keep in mind that the transmitters must be indoors and out of the weather. Overall the Instant Fence is a great product for someone who needs simple installation and is not concerned with its limited adjustability.

If you are serious about training your little pup, you should consider purchasing the petsafe invisible fence.
