Tips for using dog shock collar
February 27, 2010 by Dunkin
At DogTrainingStore.com we specialize in
shock collars and many other fine remote dog training supplies. We’re as passionate about dogs and dog training as you are. We take dog training seriously.
dog shock collar are used for problem solving (such as jumping on people, chasing cars, stealing food, avoiding snakes) or for more general training (such as obedience training or hunting dog training). Aggressive behavior is NOT a suitable candidate for electronic collars under any circumstances without a behavior specialist supervising the activity.
Many people think of a “shock collars” as a last resort, designed to punish a dog when he performs poorly. However, used properly, a shock collar collar can be a boon in ANY training situation. It is used to communicate, not punish. It can give a dog confidence and give you peace of mind.
Remote Dog Training should be accomplished at the lowest stimulation level that gets an attention response without causing fear or yipping pain. Your dog should look up at you when he feels the stimulation. His neck muscle might give a small twitch, but no vocalization, lowered ear set, cowering or otherwise showing fear should be apparent. Unleashed dog collar have a model with no shock feature at all. It is a wonderful training collar and, if used correctly, does not require the shock mode.
Many electronic dog training collars have a tone-only or vibration mode that is a wonderful candidate for positive reinforcement (reward) training. By praising the dog for a good performance simultaneously with the use of the tone button, you can condition the dog to respond positively to your praise signal. Later in his training, when he is at a distance from you, you can use it as a recall button or a “you’re getting warmer” fine-tuning communicaiton.

Animals are quite often affected by weather.
Horses- being prey animals; are often nervous when it is very windy. The wind affects the way scent is carried, thus can block a predator's presence, as well as mask sounds.
Cold weather has most animals acting very frisky, very hot weather makes them like us in hot weather- cranky and tired.
Rain, if it's heavy is like wind- blocking scents and sounds.
When we train horses, when it is time to do something like a first mounting, we would postpone that if a cold snap, or wind storm came up.
We do ride and train those days, but expect a little more unpredictability and possibly more shying. Our horses are expected to perform despite the weather, so those days are good lesson days.
Horses and dogs and cats know when thunderstorms are coming, I'm very sure they can smell the ozone of lightning well before we do.
Dogs that fear thunder, can hear it before their owners.
Of course there are very lethargic animals who could care less about wind, rain or pestilence, just as there are very dull humans.
If you have the opportunity to spend some time on a farm, you can watch herds of cattle, or horses and see how the current weather has them behaving. If you take notes on succesive visits I think you will see definate differences according to weather changes.
I hoope this is of some assistance to yoou.
