This series discusses some of the training “tools of the trade”: clickers, various leashes, halters, electronic collars, electronic and chemical training aids, muzzles, and treat carriers. We continue with the next item, electronic collars.
4. Electronic collars. Know as “negative reinforcement devices”, these come in two major categories: sonic and shock emitting. The more humane of the two, sonic collars, emit a discomforting sound when the dog performs a certain disagreeable behavior such as traveling beyond the limits of an invisible fence perimeter or jumping on furniture. The second version works in the same manner but has the added enforcement of delivering a painful electric shock. For more information you might check under pet collars at The Canine and Feline Store.
5. Electronic and chemical training aids. These are aimed at combating specific behaviors. The electronic shock mat is one of the most popular. It is placed on furniture to keep your pet from jumping onto your leather couch or expensive recliners. When the pet comes in contact with it, the device emits a mild but persuasive electrical shock. Don’t forget to remove these items before you or a guest sits down on the furniture, or it might prove to be a shocking experience!
There are chemical based training aids that include such products as Bitter Apple sprays or creams, used to prevent chewing or self-mutilation behaviors. There also are products administered as a dietary supplement to produce calmness in excessively overactive dogs, or to stop a dog from eating feces.
