The E-collar is one training tool I feel gets a bad rep. It is a commonly misused and misunderstood tool, it is often perceived as dangerous or inhumane, which is not true. It gets the dogs attention and provides a form of communication to our dogs without the use of a leash.

So for the issues such as counter surfing, excessive barking, fleeing ect. We can work on addressing those issues through training with the E-collar. It can also be helpful for recall, off leash obedience and calming down a dog’s anxious mindset!

I use the company E-collar technologies, below is a quote from their site that goes into more detail.“ The term “shock collars” for some, has a negative connotation. Many people incorrectly assume that shock collars cause physical harm or lasting damage to a dog as a form of punishment. This couldn’t be farther from the truth. Electric collars are designed to get your dog’s attention, not as a form of punishment.

When used in combination with positive reinforcement, E-collars provide the feedback that dogs need to learn when to pay attention to the handler. E-collars do not burn or cause lasting damage to a dog.”


This company produces high quality equipment and many color options for the remotes and collars! The $50 cheap collars on Amazon will not get you the same results as a high quality E-collar!
