E-collar training, when used correctly, can be a powerful tool for
communication and reinforcement in dog training. It allows
for precise, consistent corrections at a distance, making it especially
effective for off-leash training and improving recall. Modern
e-collars focus on low-level stimulation rather than punishment,
helping dogs understand boundaries while maintaining trust.
When paired with positive reinforcement, they can enhance training results,
strengthen the bond between dogs and their owners,
and provide greater safety by ensuring responsiveness in real-world situations.
BELOW IS A VIDEO FROM "TOM DAVIS DOG TRAINING" TO GIVE SOME INFO ABOUT ONE OF THE "DOGTRA" E-COLLARS THAT WE USE!
1. E-collars are only for punishment.
Modern e-collars focus on communication, using low-level
stimulation to get a dog's attention rather than to punish.
2. They hurt the dog.
When used correctly, an e-collar provides gentle stimulation,
similar to a tap on the shoulder, rather than pain.
3. They create fear and anxiety.
Properly introduced with positive reinforcement, e-collars can actually
boost a dog’s confidence and improve responsiveness.
4. They are only for aggressive or stubborn dogs.
E-collars can be helpful for all dogs, especially for off-leash training,
recall, and clear communication.
5. Using an e-collar means skipping real training.
E-collars are a tool, not a shortcut—they should be used alongside proper
training techniques to reinforce learning.
