Dog Training Collar

A pet training collar is the first you must buy when getting a puppy or a pet. Even if you don't want to train your dog, you will still need them to walk you dog. The pettraining collar is a collar placed around the neck of your dog and you can attach the leash on it.

There are several types of canine training collar, and when you buy one you have to consider the size of the pet. For big dogs you will need a pronged collar. This can be made out of steel or out plastic, and the main feature of this collar is the plastic or steel teeth that can be placed on the outside or on the inside. If you place it on the outside the pet will be comfortable, but at the same time it will be harder for you to control it.

If you place if on the inside the teeth of the collar will have direct contact with the canine's skin and it won't be able to pull you, thus giving you control.

The soft nylon chocker is for medium size dogs, that don't require so much strength to control. For small size caninesthe metal slip chain is the collar they need. Also when buying a canine collar you must consider the agility of the canine and the environment the dog lives in.

If you have a garden or an open space where your dog stays without a leash you should consider a flat collar, to avoid unfortunate accidents; for example the dog can get caught in a fence and be strangled. Among the features that dog training collar has there is one that is very important: the opening system.

Considering that each collar can become dangerous when the dog is unsupervised, the way the collar can be taken off becomes really significant. There are collars that have a safety mechanism for opening, and that are comfortable for the dog.

The dog's collar should be comfortable and safe, but at the same time it should reflect the personality of your dog and it should have some identification information attached to it. So, as you see, it's not an easy job choosing a dog training collar.
