What is a Remote Collar?
A Remote Collar (or E-Collar) is an electronic training device for communicating with your dog. It produces an electrical current between two contact points located on the collar. In the old days this type of collar was used as “shock collar” to scare a dog into submission. These training techniques teach you that the remote collar is used in a totally different way and your dog is never “shocked” or abused. Rather than as shocking device, the remote collar is used to get the dog’s attention and keep it focused on listening to you. It is kind of like someone tapping you on the shoulder to get your attention. We teach the dog to listen to the “taps” and that the “taps” mean, “Pay Attention & Look At Me”.
