Remote Dog Training Collars-does Your Dog Need An Attitude Adjustment

Article Title: Remote Dog Training Collars-does Your Dog Need
An Attitude Adjustment
Author: Karen McLean

Who wouldn't want a well trained dog that everyone enjoys
having around? Let's face it. No one wants a dog that bites,
nips, barks, digs, jumps, begs or growls, but how do you
achieve the preferred behaviors and eliminate the unwanted
ones? Simply put, the answer is training. At the very least,
you want your dog to know and obey the basic commands of sit,
stay, come, down and heel.

Maybe you can get your dog to obey when he is on a leash but
the second he is loose, you have lost all control. Not only is
this a cause for major frustration, it also puts your dog at
risk from any one of a number of hazards. So how do you train
your dog to obey on and off the leash? The simple solution is
a remote dog training collars.

Having been used by professional trainers for years, remote dog
training collars are gaining recognition and popularity with pet
owners as a means of achieving their goals of owning a well
trained dog who listens on and off the leash.

Unfortunately, for many years, the only type of remote dog
training collars available were shock collars. However, with
the breakthrough technology of citronella remote dog training
collars a few years ago, another option was made available. You
can now have an effective, humane aid to train your pet. A
citronella remote dog training collar is the safe alternative
to a shock collar. Dogs will respond faster when using a
remote dog training collar that does NOT cause pain or anxiety.
A shock collar causes both. Although the citronella remote dog
training collar is an electronic dog training collar, it is not
a shock collar. It uses a gentle spray of citronella which
causes a disruptive stimulus. It has been found that using the
citronella spray collar along with positive reinforcement is
more than twice as effective as an electric shock collar for
behavior modification. When you inflict pain with a shock
collar, you may very well increase anxiety and aggression in
your dog, making behavior problems even worse.

According to current statistics there are approximately 74.8
million dogs living in 44.8 million households across the
United States. Train your dog to be one of the well behaved
ones. To teach a new behavior, reward your dog 100% of the time
he offers you the correct response. To maintain a behavior that
has been learned, reward your dog intermittently and
unpredictably. Remember that perseverance and consistent
training will help you achieve your goal of the well behaved
pet.
