An e-collar, also known as an electronic collar or a remote training collar, is a device used for dog training. It has a collar with a receiver that fits around your dog’s neck and a remote control. The remote sends signals to the receiver to give different levels of electrical stimulation to the dog’s neck. This stimulation helps get your dog’s attention or give feedback during training.
Using e-collars can be controversial in the dog training world. Although the stimulation from an e-collar might be uncomfortable, it should not cause pain or harm to your dog. Good quality e-collars have safety features to stop too much stimulation or accidental use.
When picking shock collar for dogs, think about where your dog will be and what situations they will face. Consider why you want an e-collar and what new activities you can do once your dog has better obedience and control.
