While a training collar is an effective tool, like any tool it must be used properly
in order to be effective for the master and safe for the dog. Among the most
important considerations when using a training collar are:
· How the collar fits the dog. It is essential that the training collar be
properly fitted to the dog. A properly fitted training collar is easier to use and
safer for the dog.
· Putting the training collar on properly. There is a right way and a wrong way
to fit a training collar, and putting it on wrong will make it both ineffective and
potentially dangerous.
· Using the collar properly. A training collar should be used as a sharp
reminder to the dog, not as punishment. It is important that constant pressure be
avoided when using a training collar.
· The weight of the chain and the size of the links on the training collar. It
is important that the weight of the chain be appropriate to the size and weight of
the dog.
· The placement of the collar on the dog. It is important to properly place the
collar on the dog.
The importance of a properly fitted training collar
Determining if the training collar is the right size is relatively easy. The ideal
size training collar should fit snugly, yet comfortably over the dog's head. It is
important that the training collar not fit too tightly, but it should not be too
loose either. A training collar that is too tight will be too hard to put on and
off. On the other hand, a training collar that is too loose can accidentally fall
off of the dog's head when it lowers its head.
It is also important to know that a training collar that is too long for the dog
requires a great deal of finesse to use properly. A collar that is too long can
still be used, but it will require more skill on the part of the handler.
