Shock Collars

Shock Collars

Are you thinking about using a shock collar on your dog? Do not! Dog owners should not be using shock collars on their dogs. It is inhumane and recent study has shown that it cause distress in dogs. There is no consistent benefit of using a shock collar to train your dog. In a study conducted with 63 dogs, they split the dogs into three groups. One group used the shock collars while the other two did not. They found that the dogs with the shock collar responded negatively, and the ones that did not have the shock collar responded better to the training.  
Reasons shock collar should not be used:

  • Shock collar causes discomfort in the dog
  • Can leave mark on the dog
  • Change a dogs behavior
  • Make a dog lash out
