Electronic dog collars

The term electronic collars for animals  collar to shock  is a term used to describe a family  collars (also called  e-collars  ,  Ecollars  ,  remote collar training  ,  zap collar  , or  electronic collar  ), providing  electrical shocks  with varying intensity and duration on the dog's neck (they can also be used elsewhere on the dog's body to achieve different learning effects) via a radio-controlled electronic gadget built into the dog's collar. Some collar models also include tone or vibration tuning as an alternative or in conjunction with shock. Others include integration with internet mapping and GPS capabilities to locate a dog or alert the owner.

They were first used in the 1960s to train hunting dogs, and the early collars were very strong. Many modern versions can reach very low levels of shock. Box collars are now available and have been used in a variety of applications, including behavioral change, listening and pet restraint training, as well as military, police, and service training. While similar systems are available for other animals, collars designed for domestic dogs are the most common   . 

Types of electronic collars for dogs, animals 

Pet restraint systems 

The most common use of impact collars are house restraint systems used to keep a dog in the border area without building a physical barrier. This use of shocks is increasingly popular in areas where local laws or homeowners associations prohibit the construction of physical fencing. Available systems include: fitting into the soil to maintain the aesthetics of the yard; above the floor to reinforce an existing barrier that did not contain a dog; and wireless systems that allow indoor use. Most home containment systems work by installing wire around the perimeter of the yard. [1]  As the dog approaches the perimeter, the collar is activated.

Control collars 

Control collars, electronic collars are used to prevent barking too long, too long or uncomfortable, so that they give a shock at the moment when the dog barks. The gate can be activated with a microphone or vibration, and some of the most advanced collars use sound and vibration to avoid the possibility of external sounds that activate the response.

Collar training or distance coaches 

Training dog collars are different in that better quality have many different levels and functions, can give different duration of stimulation, better quality stimulation and the possibility of wheezing or vibration, which is useful for getting the dog's attention. Proper training is essential for distance use, as abuse can lead to negative behavioral consequences. [2]  Many recommend that you consult a behavioral teacher or a certified training professional who has experience in impact collars for successful use.

Shear collars can be used in conjunction with  positive reinforcement  and / or using other principles of  operational conditioning  , depending on the trainer's methods, or as a form of  positive punishment  where shock is performed at the moment when unwanted behavior occurs to reduce the frequency of that behavior; or as a form of  negative reinforcement  where it is constantly stimulated to the point where the desired behavior occurs to increase the frequency of that behavior.

When using a collar collar, you should use those commands that dogs are familiar with. Observe your dog's behavior after using each command and if your dog does not respond correctly, push the transmitter button and repeat the command.

Remember that your goal is not to hurt your dog through an electronic collar, but to desire to learn the dog. Set the shock collar at the lowest level of stimulation and reward your dog with a special enhancement to reinforce his positive behavior.

Electric shock 

An electric shock  is a physiological reaction, feeling or injury caused by an electrical current through the body. They occur upon contact of the body with all sources of electricity, causing sufficient flow through the skin, muscles or hair.

In his textbook on training and behavior, Steven Lindsay wrote about the public's perception of the term "shock" and its use in describing training aids; "At low levels, the term shock is difficult to describe the effects created by electronic training collars as there is virtually no effect beyond the pulsating tingling or swelling of the sensation on the skin surface ... the word shock is laden with biased connotations, images of convulsive spasms and burns. and the consequences associated with extreme physical pain, emotional trauma, physiological breakdown and laboratory abuse ... the impetus or signal created by most modern devices is tightly controlled and presented to produce a specific set of behavioral and motivational responses to it. "  [3]

Technical considerations of electronic collars

Electric shock can be characterized by voltage, currents, waveform, frequency (waveforms), pulse rate and duration. Although voltage, current, and shock duration can be used to calculate the amount of energy used (in  Joules  ), these are not indicators of stimulus intensity or how the recipient can perceive it. Depending on the design, you can adjust the shockwaves so that the shock delivered is only slightly uncomfortable. Such variable adjustments are essential so that the collar can be adjusted to the level required by the dog as conditions change.

Chain strikes are sometimes referred to as "static shock"; static electricity, however, is  direct current  and has low energy. The shockers use  alternating current  . It is therefore inappropriate to refer to impact collars as they provide a static shock.

In order to achieve consistent impact, good contact must be made between the collar electrodes and the dog's skin (the collar must be fitted according to the manufacturer's instructions). Local humidity and individual changes in hair density, skin thickness and surface conductivity also affect the delivery of shock.

Role, its frequency, pulse rate, current, voltage and impedance are important factors in the likely response. "Many electronic collars seem to shift the intensity levels by changing the pulse duration or repetition, while keeping the output current and voltage relatively constant, depending on the electrode load." (Lindsay 2005, p. 573).

Individual differences in temperament, pain sensitivity, and susceptibility to dog traps mean that the shock settings need to be fine-tuned to produce a shock that the dog perceives as the only aversive enough to prevent the dog from engaging in unwanted behavior. Common stimuli such as noise, commands and even shocks may not affect a dog who is very aroused and focused on an activity such as hunting.

You can activate the door with a microphone or vibration, and some of the most advanced collars use sound and vibration to avoid the possibility of external sounds activating the response.

Training collars or remote trainers 

Training collars for dogs differ in that they are better in quality, have many different levels and functions, can give different duration of stimulation, better quality stimulation and the possibility of whistling or vibration, which is useful for gaining dog attention. Proper training is essential for distance use, as abuse can lead to negative behavioral consequences. [2]  Many recommend that you consult a behavioral teacher or a certified training professional who has experience with impact collars for successful use.

Wireless Dog Fence with Collar

A wireless dog fence with a collar is a system designed to keep dogs contained within a specified boundary without the need for physical fences or structures. It typically consists of two main components: a transmitter and a collar receiver.

 

Here's how it generally works:

 

Transmitter: The transmitter is the central device that emits a wireless signal or radio frequency around the desired boundary area. It is usually placed indoors, often near a power outlet. The transmitter may have adjustable settings to determine the size and shape of the boundary.

 

Collar Receiver: Each dog wears a collar receiver that is equipped with a receiver antenna. The collar receiver is designed to detect the signal emitted by the transmitter. It is usually lightweight and adjustable to fit comfortably around the dog's neck. The collar receiver is battery-powered and can be rechargeable or use replaceable batteries.

 

Boundary Training: Before using a wireless dog fence, it's important to train your dog to understand the boundaries. This typically involves a combination of visual markers or flags placed around the boundary, audible warnings emitted by the collar receiver, and positive reinforcement training techniques.

 

Boundary Enforcement: Once your dog is trained, when they approach the designated boundary area, the collar receiver will receive the signal from the transmitter. The collar may emit a warning sound or vibration as a deterrent. If the dog continues to move closer to or crosses the boundary, the collar may deliver a static correction (commonly referred to as a static shock) to discourage further movement.

 

It's worth noting that there are different models and brands of wireless dog fences with varying features and technologies. Some advanced systems may offer additional features like multiple containment zones, different correction levels, or options for customization based on your dog's temperament.

 

When considering a wireless dog fence, it's essential to research different options, read reviews, and consult with a professional dog trainer if needed. Proper training and responsible use of the wireless dog fence system are crucial for the safety and well-being of your dog.

 

A wireless dog fence with a collar provides an alternative solution to traditional physical fences, offering convenience and flexibility while keeping your dog safe within a designated area. Let's explore some additional details:

 

Types of Wireless Dog Fences:

 

Radio Signal Fences: These systems use radio frequency signals emitted by the transmitter to create a boundary zone. The transmitter establishes a circular containment area, and the dog can move freely within this zone.

GPS-based Fences: Some advanced wireless dog fences utilize GPS technology. Instead of a fixed boundary, these systems allow you to define a virtual boundary on a map using a smartphone or computer. The dog wears a GPS-enabled collar that communicates with satellites to determine its location. If the dog approaches or crosses the set boundary, the collar delivers a warning or correction signal.

Training and Introducing the System:

 

Proper training is crucial for the successful use of a wireless dog fence. Start by introducing your dog to the system gradually, allowing them to become familiar with the collar and associate positive experiences with wearing it.

Training usually involves associating the warning signals or vibrations from the collar with the boundary area, using visual markers like flags to reinforce the boundary's visual cues. Positive reinforcement techniques, such as treats and praise, can help your dog understand the desired behavior.

Safety Features:

 

Most wireless dog fence systems have safety features to prevent over-correction and protect your dog from harm. They often include a progressive correction feature, where the level of static correction increases if the dog continues to approach or cross the boundary. This ensures that the dog receives an appropriate deterrent without causing excessive discomfort.

Look for systems that have built-in safety shutdown mechanisms, which automatically deactivate the correction after a specific duration to avoid prolonged discomfort.

System Customization:

 

Advanced wireless dog fences offer customization options to suit your dog's temperament and specific needs. For instance, you may be able to adjust the correction level to match your dog's sensitivity. Some systems also provide multiple training modes, such as audible beeps, vibrations, or varying levels of static correction.

Limitations:

 

Wireless dog fences may not be suitable for all dogs. They are generally recommended for dogs over a certain weight and age, as specified by the manufacturer. Additionally, dogs with certain health conditions or behavioral issues may not respond well to this type of containment system.

It's important to regularly check the collar fit to ensure it is not too tight or loose, as improper fitting can affect the effectiveness of the system.

Remember that while wireless dog fences can be an effective tool for containment, they should not replace supervision or other forms of training. Regular interaction, exercise, and positive reinforcement training are still essential for your dog's overall well-being.

 

 

As always, consult the manufacturer's instructions and consider seeking guidance from a professional dog trainer to ensure you are using the wireless dog fence appropriately and safely for your specific dog.
