SamK Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 A Dog Shock Collar is the most common tool used when training dogs. Inexpensive, safe, and effective, this clever device is able to give guidance to what behaviors are right and wrong. They come in different sizes; so rest assure that even your smallest pet can have a collar that will fit properly and will deliver significantly less static than those used on larger dogs. Shock Collars are customizable; you'll be able to select the level of static based upon the persistence and attitude of the pet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emma Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 Sorry but I'm not a fan either TBH. There are plenty of other ways to train your dog to do realistic tasks and commands, Sent from my iPhone using Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goingsolo Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 I wouldn't shock a human into conforming and certainly wouldn't use one of these vile things on my boys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitahusky Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 I thinks it's forbidden in Sweden to I've never seen anyone use it in Sweden and you can't buy them anywhere and that's good .. there are many other ways Sent from my iPhone using Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shackatttack Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 It's an ecollar, not a shock collar. They have multiple options, and works great for off leash training and recall. My boy doesn't need it much anymore except for a slight reminder sometimes. As long as you're using it correctly, then it doesn't hurt. I've shocked myself of the highest setting. It doesn't hurt, but is uncomfortable. It has a sound and vibrate as well. Sent from my iPhone using Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shackatttack Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 now comes my question...do you have kids? would you use it on them just cause it might be easy training... My dogs are my kids. But I wouldn't put it on my human kids. I think everybody can have their own opinion and I was just sharing mine. I wouldn't recommend it for just anybody or any dog. But all positive reinforcement does not work with my dog. He needs corrections. We have tried all R+ but it's not for him. He is not scared of me or the collar.Sent from my iPhone using Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachael_Astro Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 If I had a shock collar on it would make me very nervous and withdrawn, how people think it's ok to stop their dog barking, their form of communication, is beyond me. I think it's a bit rich to accuse me of abusing my dog and then start advertising shock collars Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeMoreHusky Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 All been said so I'll put it this way as an acid test for anyone considering one of these. Even on low voltage, it equates to a firm smack on the neck. Would you be happy to deliver the same level of punishment in a more observable way ? Where I live you wouldn't keep your dog very long.

Maz51 Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 I would possibly try the e-collar if only to reaffirm recall on mine... they're so like kids when excited.. but at just over 4.2 yrs & 4.6yrs (of 12 month) my two have mellowed & are rather good! They go to their beds and wait till 'ok' - when we come in to offload, take off coats b4 greeting. They lie down when told.. we practice everyday including Gee/Haw spins, paw on a raised knee, high five, 'wuff' for 'say please'.And a frozen carrot to clean teeth after evening meal!Sent from my SM-G900F using Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using electricity to stun dogs into behaving is animal cruelty full stop. Most of the world has moved on from these torture technics. Also if you are relying purely on the shock collar you risk losing your dog because there is no learning taking place here, just avoidance of pain. Any animal behaviorist worth their salt (many don't even understand the difference between negative reinforcement and punishment) will confirm this.Sent from my iPad using Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelseafan Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 Using these are a lazy way of training your dog, wouldn't even consider using one of these, I can't believe they're still on sale, it's cruel.Sent from my iPhone using Husky Owners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
