Electric training collars-
Have you ever used, considered, or completely rejected the use of electric training collars? Then this seminar is for you!

This seminar is for owners only, no dogs. (Although there will be a demo dog)

Electric training collars or often referred to as shock collars have been around for years. Originally used by hunters to help control high drive working dogs who are bred to focus on following animal odor. Now these tools are wildly available for anyone to use.

 

Recently, there has been a push to ban these tools through law in NYS. Some countries in Europe have done this- and I’ll talk about how that’s impacted dog owners. I believe proper education on this topic is hard to find but should be available! These tools ( often very poorly made ones) are sold online and in stores and are commonly misused, often due to lack of understanding vs intentional abuse.

Many trainers can push these as a way to fix multiple issues, but is it really a cure all tool? Most people don’t understand how you can introduce a e collar to clear up communication, and simply use it as a punishment tool. Those who may benefit from their use often use them in a way that limits the possible benefits, and confuse dogs. Many people are even discouraged and judged by people for using them because they have seen abuse with these tools and don’t understand the various ways they can be used.
