Dog Shock Collars are made for virtually any size dog, but when buying a Training Collar you must also consider what you will be using it for. There are generally two types of Dog Training Collar, those used for obedience training and those used for hunting. Some can be used for both but it is often unnecessary to have the features of a hunting collar if you just need it for obedience.

Is a shock collar a good training method?

Yes they can be very effective and pretty harmless. Some dogs who are neurotic can be affected negatively by them though .If you have a pretty mentally stabe dog then i recommend them . As long as your getting an electric fence and not tryin to torture your dog :] 2nd Answer: Play and pats are the best training method. If you are training a dog not to bark, then a shock collar is appropriate. Many dogs simply ignore the spray collars. BUT, if you use a shock collar, follow the dog around on the few times that you use it, and firmly command, "No Bark!" along with the shock. In short order, it will learn to obey your voice command. Unless it is a border collie, etc, which will also quickly learn when it has the shock collar on, and when it doesn't. When using the shock collar, you most likely will have to remove the regular collar with the dog's name and rabies tags . . . BE CAREFUL to not let the dog get away from you. Do not leave the dog unattended with the shock collar on and turned on! Most important be sure you KNOW what you are doing and how to handle the shock collar properly before you use it on your dog.

What are dog shock collars used for?

I have a Brittany and indeed the collar does work. While we have a 24 acre spread bording a very nice spring fed creek and lots of field and woods, our dog loves to cross the road in front of our place. She is attracted to kids especially and will forget all training and run towards them almost at any cost. Of course this is very dangerous as we do have traffic on our road. I use a shock collar that is both waterproof and has sound. I trained her to come when I call her without the collar and then she knows the command. I first used a mild shock and a little heavier shock if she chose to ignore me if the temptation was strong. After awhile she learned that when she has the collar on she is to mind and does. I don't have to use the shock anymore as the sound works magic. She does not mind all that well if she does not have the collar on so I did something wrong I am sure?
