Petsafe shock collar is a tool to train your dog to obey your commands or stop an unexpected and unwanted behavior. This system can be used from smallest to biggest breed. In this system transmitter emits radio signals in certain range. A light weight receiver collar is tied around the neck of your pet. Your pet is free to roam anywhere in the range of the system. As soon as your pet reaches boundary line it will get warning signals. If it still tries to move on, it will get static correction which is slightly shocking but it won’t harm your pet.
Your dog will avoid miss behaving after little bit of training. And after some time there is no need of correction also. As your pet will start to link the correction with warning tone, in such case only warning tone is enough to stop it from miss behaving. Normally when your dog runs behind any stranger, barks at the mailman or digs a hole in your backyard it is considered as a problematic behavior by humans but it is perfectly normal behavior for a dog. In fact all this time your pet behaves as a normal dog. But this behavior can cause some damages to your property or some one may get hurt.
That’s why Petsafe shock collar are used to stop your dog from behaving like this, at wrong time and wrong place. These collars are designed to train your pet for behavior that is normally expected from him. Some measures are mentioned below which will help you to learn about training methods and use of this device.
To start with, put the collar on when your dog is doing something which he enjoys doing.
Don’t force your pet to wear this collar because if you force it, your pet may start to dislike the equipment. Keep the transmitter close to you even when you are not training your dog.
Until your dog is trained properly, do not set it free relying on collar only. Use a leash to control it till it gets trained, as you are not sure how will it react to stimulation that he receives from the transmitter.
Stimulation levels should be as low as possible. Observe dog’s reaction to stimulation. If he doesn’t react at all then go to higher levels. Finally set an ideal stimulation level for your dog. High stimulation level can cause panic in your pet. Users are strictly advised against using this device to control aggression from their pet. Start training your dog from commands he already knows. Avoid consistent use of this device, when you are training your dog do not use stimulation for orders that he doesn’t know. When pet looks like confused help him out playfully. Immediate rewards will encourage your pet to behave properly.
Do not change location of training frequently, as it will distract your pet and that might force consistent use of stimulation which is not recommended. Training sessions should be brief; don’t stretch training sessions that will drain your pet resulting in loss of concentration level.
Carefully observe positive changes in pet’s behavior and keep praising it all along the training period. Start playing with your dog as soon as it learns something new to encourage him to reach higher level.
