Training Your Dog
Are there dog training collars available for larger dogs?
Strong dogs with thick necks sometimes drag their owners around. A good collar for this type of dog is the pronged collar. The pronged collar has two protruding fingers that apply pressure to the neck when pulled. They are far less likely to cause damage to the windpipe than the traditional choke chain. While many trainers think these collars are not necessary for effective training they do come in handy for small people who tend to be dragged along by their dog.
Electronic collars are dog training collars that transfer a small shock on cue. Since the trainer cues the collar it is paramount that they know what they are doing. Inconsistent and poor training with painful methods is both cruel and ineffective. Shock collars have their place and that is with professional dog trainers. The rest of us need to stick to the basics.
Another collar that employs the use of electricity is the no bark collar. Again this collar is effective, but before you use it you should determine the cause of the dogs barking. Make sure you haven’t taught him to bark and ask yourself if you really want him to punish him for it.
There seems to be a collar for just about every training area and some have proven to be quite effective. However, it is crucial in dog training you only use equipment that you are experienced with. If you have a specific training issue, it may be beneficial to seek help. Learn how to use dog training collars under the guidance of a professional. This will make your dog training more positive and productive.

How the PetSafe Anti Bark Collar Works
The PetSafe anti bark Collar has two primary features designed to shorten the training phase and promote good behavior. First, the anti bark Collar has a unique patented sensor that provides the most reliable bark detection available. The PetSafe anti bark Collar uses both vibration and sound sensors (dual-detection) to discriminate each bark from other external noises. A Static Correction is administered through the Contact Points only if both the vibration from the vocal chords and the sound from the bark match the same criteria. Second, the anti bark collar has a new patent pending Temperament Learning System design that is effective across many dog breeds and their individual barking behaviors. The Temperament Learning System contains software that tracks the number of corrections needed to substantially reduce (and in most cases eliminate) the number of nuisance barks. The anti bark system has 10 levels of Static Correction. It begins with low-level corrections, however, if excessive barking continues the correction intensity will increase with each successive bark until the barking stops. Once the dog has learned to reduce the barking, the initial warning corrections are reduced. If your dog does not bark within 30 seconds, the anti bark collar will reset itself. As a built-in safety feature, if your dog barks 15 times or more within a 1 minute 20 second period, the anti bark collar will automatically shut off for 3 minutes.
