Dog Training Products:
A Look at the Range of Dog Training Products Out There
There are a number of dog training products out today. I’d say that the first thing that you have to decide in the training of “Fido” when you are searching for a dog training product is if you want to turn your dog into putty when he or she walks to heel or maybe for agility training? There are also many dog training products for behavioral modification, containment and obedience training.
Shock not Horror
The most widely used dog training product and devices are electronic training devices. Formerly known as “shock collars” thirty years ago, they are now safer and more humane. They are increasingly popular in behavioral training. There are many myths surrounding electronic training devices. First, they do not make dogs more aggressive but I do suggest using them with caution, mostly for the dog’s safety and well-being.
Contain the Problem
The next most popular pet training devices are the pet containment systems or in other words a way to keep the dog confined without a physical structure. These devices can be installed in the ground or above ground, as well as the newer wireless models, indoor models and systems that can be used to contain puppy in a large or small area.
Hush Puppy
Maybe what you really want is for your puppy to quit keeping the neighbors up all night (as well as yourself) with his barking. So a really great dog training product is the bark collar. These are used to correct a puppy’s behavior from the collar to stop a dog’s excessive, or just plain irritating, barking. These collars come in the electronic variety, citronella and sonic collars.
Remote Control
For highly effective obedience training there are “remote trainers’ or training collars that allow the dog trainer to be up close and personal or not within immediate reach of the animal. The collar has a receiving unit and the trainer has a hand-held, remote transmitter. The dog receives a warning tone or an electronic vibration when the appropriate button is pressed from the transmitter.
Leather pull tab collars are another dog training product that gives a puppy the feeling of being off the leash but jerking on the pull tab of this collar will instantly give the puppy leash correction.
A really great dog training product that takes the place of any form of punishment is the Spray Commander. It’s a spray that is efficient, painless and works on four of the dogs senses to eliminate problem behavior.
So, whether you are hands-on or remote, you can find a variety of dog training products to help you.
