Training
Collars
The proper selection of a training collar can have a significant impact
on the success of any dog training program. Most new dog trainers make
the mistake of choosing a dog collar that does not allow for adequate
control during the training sessions.
From head leaders to pronged choke collars, the choices available
to dog owners are endless. However, in my training experience, I have
not seen a dog training collar as effective as the classic choke collar.
The basic choke collar is an effective training tool that can be used
on almost any size dog (for very small dogs, a nylon dog collar might
be preferred). When used properly, the correction and response of the
dog is almost immediate.
The key to using a choke collar effectively is to keep the dog collar
loose when the dog is exhibiting proper behavior. For example, if the
dog is heeling without pulling ahead, the choke collar should remain
loose. If the dog begins to pull ahead, a quick "pop" or tightening of
the collar will teach the dog that unwanted behavior has occurred. As
soon as the dog's behavior has corrected, the collar is once again
loosened.
By using the tightening & loosening technique, the dog quickly
learns to associate good behavior with a loose collar. If the collar
were to remain constantly tightened, the dog would only learn to fight
against the choking feeling.
Regardless of which collar type you choose, it is imperative that the
dog collar fit properly and give you, the trainer, maximum control over
the dog. |
