Training Collars for
Different Ways to
Train Your Dog
Training collars are an effective way of
developing your dog’s behaviour and obedience.
There are three main types of dog training collar and
each one should be used properly to get the results
you want without harming your dog.
Slip Collars (Choke Chains)
Perhaps the most common dog training collar, a slip
collar is designed to allow the trainer to quickly close
and release the collar around a dog’s neck. Dogs
learn to not repeat a behaviour when they feel the
chain close.
A slip collar must be put on a dog properly, with the
end coming from the lead around the back of the
dog’s neck. This allows the chain to quickly slacken
when released. When training, quickly tug then add
slack to the lead whenever you need to correct
behaviour.
The consequences of not using a slip collar properly
can be disastrous. Do not pull too hard on the lead,
just enough for your dog to take notice. Also, you
should not keep pulling on the lead for an extended
period.
Prong Collar (Pinch Collar)
Similar to a slip collar in design, prong collars have
prongs on the inside of the collar. When the lead is
tugged, the prongs pinch the dog’s neck. Unlike a
slip collar, a prong collar has a limit to how much it
will close around a dog’s neck.
Many owners are concerned about prong collars
because of the impression that the prongs stab
into the dog’s neck. In fact, a prong collar, with a
limited circumference and by evenly spreading
pressure all around a dog’s neck, is at least as safe
as a slip collar.
E-collar (electronic collar)
An e-collar looks similar to a regular dog collar, but it
is equipped with an electrical system that can
deliver a sensation to the dog. Using a remote
control device, a trainer can deliver a small charge
through the e-collar whenever behaviour needs
to be corrected.
An e-collar is an ideal way to train your dog off-leash.
Incorrect behaviour is addressed immediately, so
your dog quickly and easily learns the correct action,
without needing a lead on which to tug.
In all cases, it is important to only use dog training
collars only when training and while you are paying
close attention to your dog. Leaving a training collar
on when you are not working with your dog could
lead to serious accidents. Each time you finish
training, remove the training collar from your dog
and replace it with the regular collar.
