If you’ve ever tried looking for the best remote collar for your dog, you probably got overwhelmed fast.

Some people who aren't familiar with remote training collars think they're cruel. In this article we will guide you on how to train a dog with a remote collar. Nothing may be further from reality when used correctly. Remote training collars, also known as electronic training collars, have been around for a long time. The earliest versions were adopted by working-dog trainers applying for orders from afar. The stimulation settings on those early collars were limited, and it was not very comfortable for the dog wearing it. However, their use as a teaching tool could not be denied. Dog training collars come in a variety of styles, each of which is useful in various circumstances. In this post, I'll show you how to train your dog with an electronic collar, also known as an e-collar. E-collars, also known as shock collars, deliver an electrical pulse to your dog's neck through two tiny prongs on the collar. A remote control device triggers the electric shock, which can be adjusted to various levels depending on your dog's temperament and sensitivity. When using an electric dog collar, safety is paramount. When used correctly, experts agree that e-collars are secure. They can be counterproductive and even confuse or frighten your dog if used carelessly. A change in the training culture occurred about 20 years ago, ushering in a gentler approach to training. Remote training collar manufacturers replied, and today's collars are the product of the gradual evolution. How should i introduce a dog to a shock collar ? The first thing you'll do is familiarize yourself with the features of your new dog training collar and put them to the test. The collar will then be properly fitted to your dog. It's important to get the right fit. To ensure that the probes contact the skin and do not slide around the dog's body, it should wear the collar high on the neck between the ears and snug. Just two fingers should be able to fit under the neck. Collar-wise Your dog must connect the punishment with the order or undesirable action rather than the e-collar. When your dog realizes that the correction is coming from the collar, he will become "collar-wise." Meaning that when the collar is on, he will not misbehave, but he will do whatever he wants when it is off. It is very exciting for both the owner and the dog to start training, but to avoid this; you should let him wear the electric collar for a few days (no more than 8 hours per day) before turning it on so that he gets used to the weight and thinks it's just another collar like the ones he wears with his tags. Stimulation Level Setting To decide the initial training level, determine the lowest stimulation level that will get your dog's attention. To do so, set the stimulus on the remote to zero, properly fit the collar around your dog's neck, and allow your dog to explore the training area. Start tapping on the stimulation button while gradually increasing the stimulation level until he is engaged and not concentrating on you. Your dog will tilt his head, his ears will prick up, or he will send an indication that he feels something at some point. This is the starting point for your preparation. The level is too high if your dog yelps or bounces. Don't make the mistake of assuming that just because your dog is big or small, he or she should be at a certain level; think as each dog is a person. Some people are more responsive than others, and some people learn at a faster or slower pace. How healthy habits can be taught ? Poor habits such as digging in the garbage, biting, and barking can be corrected with remote trainers. They can also be used to teach healthy habits to your dog. Here are four simple commands that your dog can learn easily with the help of a remote trainer. Sit “Sit” - is a verb that means “to sit.” This basic action can be taught easily, and an implicit "stay" can be added to avoid having to teach a separate instruction. Say "sit" when pressing the sound, vibration, or static stimulus button on your remote control.
