An “e-collar” is a dog collar that has a stimulation mechanism attached to the collar.
The collar is controlled by a small remote control unit that the handler holds. The remote allows you to maintain full control of your dog for up to 1/2 mile. It gives your dog lots of freedom and saves you from worrying about your dog running off!
The e-collar is not used as punishment and you are not "shocking" your dog as many people incorrectly assume. The e-collar is simply used as a training tool for communicating with your dog. The e-collar emits a subtle, blunt electrical current between two contact points located on the collar. When they first came into use back in the 1960's early versions of the collar were used to train hunting dogs and also as “shock collar” by many inexperienced dog owners who tried to scare their dog into submission.
With our precision techiques your dog is never “shocked into submission” or abused in any way. We use the e-collar to get the dog’s attention and keep it focused on listening to commands. It's like someone tapping you on the shoulder to get your attention, or setting your phone on vibrate so it will get your attention when someone calls you. We teach the dog to respond to the “tap” and that the “tap” means, “please pay attention to me”
Using our proven precision techniques your dog will respond to commands instantly because the dogs knows exactly what is expected of them when the command is given.
Will the E-Collar hurt my dog?
Absolutely not. We are first and foremost dog lovers and would never do anything to harm your fur baby. During our first meeting we will let you feel how mild the stimulation is. In many cases the owner cannot even feel the stimulation at the same level we will be using to train their dog.
Another common misconception is that the e-collar will burn their skin. While the e-collar, like any training tool (including choke chains and prong collars) holds the potential to harm the dog, when used correctly the e-collar will not harm your dog in any way. We match the correct e-collar contact points to your dogs fur type and musculature to ensure that only the lowest level of stimulation is required to get your dog to respond. The e-collar is fastened to the dog so that the contact points do not move around and cause friction sores and we use hypo-allergitic contact points for dogs with more sensitive skin.
Some people have claimed that it is like being shocked with a taser, this is also false. We are dog trainers because we LOVE dogs and we would never do anything to harm them in any way!
