Choke collars are for hunting dogs & working dogs. Those dogs need those collars to behaive.

They are only good for dogs who are unnresponsive to regular collars. Seek professional advice before getting one for your dog.
There are many manufacturers for bark or shock collars. Many have moved overseas. Gundogs online has a good selection of these collars. They can be found in most pet shops.
Treats, reward, praise, love are the best. Professional trainers, shock collars can also help for more troubled dogs. Dogs are very intelligent and, like humans, can be "controlled" by all manner of things. Really, though, they just want to please us, and ignoring bad behavior and rewarding good behavior goes a LONG way. Consistent training , exercise and love. No choke collars or shock collars unless your'e willing to try them on yourself first. Dogs are our companions, not our prisoners.
why do people put shock collars on there dogs
Dog barking collars are collars for dogs that shock their necks when the dog barks or growls. These collars are very cruel, mean and inhumane towards animals.
It is used to keep dogs from getting away
82.7 percent have collars the other 17.2 percent, I infer let there dogs run out and come back or must be trained but for the other 82.7 percent they make sure there dogs have collars on. Hope that helped!
Spray collars are a good way to train dogs, for example to avoid barking in special situations. Such collars can be purchased for example from "Amazon" or "Dog Bark Collar".
yes not a good idea to allow a dog to sleep or be left unattended whilst wearing certain types of dog collars such as slip collars or spiked dog collars. ---- Most common material or leather collars should be fine. Most dogs live their life wearing a collar, only removed for bathing, or for some breeds, grooming. It's much the same for a human wearing a wristwatch.
Collars which prevent dogs from barking include ultrasonic collars and training collars. The first creates a high pitch sound which distracts and ultimately deters the dog from barking and the second may use electrical stimulations used to train the dog not to bark.
