Shock collars can be useful for teaching your dog a variety of commands or helping to stop a number of undesirable behaviors. Some of the most effective applications for training with a shock collar include:

Teaching Your Dog to Walk Properly on a Leash

Many dogs pull on the leash during walks or lunge at people and pets that walk by. By using one of these collars in conjunction with a standard leash, you can help stop these types of behaviors.

Just give your dog the “heel” command and walk as you normally would. When your dog starts pulling you around or moving towards others, tell him “No!” and trigger the collar to beep or vibrate.

This should usually cause your dog to stop the behavior, although you may have to use the shock function the first few times.

Stopping Your Dog’s Habit of Jumping on People

Many dogs become excited when visitors come over and greet them by jumping up and putting their front paws on the visitor’s chest.

You can help end this behavior by making your dog wear the collar whenever you anticipate visitors, and then triggering the beep or vibration when your dog exhibits the behavior.

You may need to use the shock function at the outset, but as always, move to the gentler corrections as soon as you possibly can.
