Today, we are learning more and more about training hunting dogs using the relatively new technology called electronic dog training collars. These collars have changed the way that working dogs are trained, especially hunting dogs.

One of the greatest values these collars give to the trainer is the increase of interaction between the trainer and the dog.  They allow for remote training, without a traditional leash, which greatly increases the options a trainer has in training a working or hunting dog.  Let’s look at why these collars are so effective.

There are two central components of the electronic training collar, which is the transmitter and receiver. As the trainer, you’ll use the transmitter as a remote control, and your dog will wear the receiver in the form of a collar. You can use the transmitter to correct your dog’s behavior at home, at a dog show, or while hunting by sending a signal to the receiver which will send a slight electronic stimulation to the dog. Don’t worry about the humaneness of the system; these electric jolts are slight and won’t cause pain or harm to your dog. It will simply provide a distraction from whatever your dog is doing incorrectly so that he can see that it’s the wrong thing to do. There is much proof that this method of stimulation leads to very successful and quick dog training because the dog will remember what he has learned during his training for a longer time than with other training methods.
