Collars containing metal electrodes that shock the dog touch with its neck. The shock collar for small dogs comes with a remote control the handler uses to administer the shock since it operates by means of an electric shock delivery. For different training sessions, such teaching your dog not to bark or avoid particular locations or cease some behaviors like jumping or chasing, they are flexible.
One of the most hotly contested topics is the training tiny dogs using shock collars. The tiny dog feels more impact as the degree of electricity in a collar is the same for both the large and the small canines. Small breed dogs are more sensitive than other big breed dogs since they have thin skin and fine coats. Badly tuned collars could pinch and burn.
These factors make some professionals advise against using shock collars for tiny breed dogs at all. Studies conducted on dogs trained with shock collars show higher stress and other indicators of discomfort than those trained using positive reward methods. Applied inappropriately, they cause such emotions as pain, anxiety, and mistrust.
On a small dog, nevertheless, some actions should be done to minimize the anticipated effects when choosing to use a shock collar. See a veterinarian to find out whether your dog has sensitive skin before subjecting it to the skin test. Purchase a collar designed for tiny breeds with this ability for varied intensity of the corrective stimuli. Start with the lowest level of the audio you can hear and gently raise the volume while closely observing your dog's reaction.
Make sure the area of the collar where the electrodes touch the skin does not migrate over the skin. Skin problems also mean that one should avoid wearing the shock collar for more than twelve hours nonstop. Small puppies should be handled gently if using an e-collar to prevent any problems or aggravation of their condition.
Let the dogs wear the inactive collar so they may get acquainted with its weight and size. Reduce gradually a few minutes at most shorter training sessions and provide the dog lots of praises and treats. Gradually train the animal to wear the collar while the surroundings are free from tension. First of all, concentrate on your rehabilitation and avoid overstimulating events. Stop using the shock collar if your tiny dog reacts too aggressively or too anxiously to it. When the basis of a relationship is making them go through extreme pain or worry, trauma, damaged trust, or anger could follow.
For small breeds, several of the breed trainers advise shock collars should only be used when all other means of training have been tried. Therefore, it is advisable to search for other products that would be more appropriate for the training of a small dog. Halters allow better control on the animals without stressing the vulnerable area—the neck. Head halters assist in refocusing the attention without resorting to actual violence.
Treats and clickers can be a very effective positive reinforcement for the desired actions. Instead of the moderate electric shock, ultrasonic and citronella spray anti-bark collars use sound or an unpleasant fragrance. Though it is not as strong as a shock, positive reinforcement helps all breeds to develop appropriate behavior and improves the relationship between owners and their dogs. Remember that your small pet need proper care; so, try to avoid any odd approaches at all.
Finally, electric shocks delivered to pint-sized pups sporting shock collars call for very particular thought and attention. This is why their use is still debatable even if they can help to reduce unwanted behavior as they lead to stress, injury, or observation consequences in small dogs. If owners choose to acquire an electronic collar, they can restrict the possible injury if they follow right introduction procedures and vary product specifications. Positive reinforcement or motivation-oriented training, on the other hand, is less dangerous and, generally speaking, more successful in helping a pet to become obedient and well- mannered.
