It’s been shown to be true that shock collars are an effective way to impact your pets behaviors. Some say they are cruel, but others indicate they are not only safe, but they are remarkably effective on managing your pets.

Before you buy a shock collar, there are some things you should take into account.

The shock collar works by administering a small electric jolt to an animal’s neck whenever it senses a high rate of vibration from the animal’s vocal chords. The level and intensity of the shock is minimal and only meant to dissuade a continued behavior.

What happens when the shock happens is that your pet feels a small and very brief sense of discomfort. It isn’t actually painful for the pet. Some compare it to the sense that you feel if you get a static electricity shock.

Collars generally come in three sizes: Small, medium and large. You should know what size your animal’s neck is before you buy one. You can get an accurate measurement using a piece of string or a measuring tape. Simply wrap it around your pet’s neck to indicate the appropriate size.

Upon receiving your new shock collar, you should begin its use at its lowest level. Most shock collars have a whole range of settings available. If you begin at the lowest level, you can increase it as necessary. If your pet doesn’t respond with it at its lowest level, increase it gradually until you get the desired reaction.

You shouldn’t have to use the shock collar indefinitely. Once your pet ceases the target behaviors, you can stop utilizing the collar. It is only meant to be used as long as necessary.

Once your pet has been trained, it should always associate the unpleasant behaviors with the unpleasant effects of the shock collar. If your pet backtracks into bad behavior, you can reinstate use.
