A quality collar can be the single most essential piece of equipment for dog owners – it allows you to maintain control of any breed from shelter mutt to purebred show breed. And the right training collars can make your canine happier, healthier, and safer – whether that means using a halter/martingale collar while walking on leash; using shock collars against aggressive behaviors such as barking/digging; or an e-collar for off-leash obedience training.
Before selecting an electronic collar for your pet, it’s essential to measure their neck (particularly those connecting under the chin rather than at the back). Once measured, select an appropriate collar size from that measurement. It is also essential to decide if you prefer waterproof and rechargeable collars or more traditional nylon and leather options; any special features like an LED light to locate your pup quickly in low light situations are also key factors in making the right selection decision.
As far as training functions are concerned, select a collar with both vibration-only mode and tone-only modes as well as ten stimulation levels. A programmable boost button can also come in handy; it allows you to automatically increase stimulation levels without fiddling around with knobs – this feature is especially helpful if your pup gets overly excited or distracted by something like a squirrel running out in front of them – the collar will let them know that higher correction levels are coming so as to stop their behavior!
