Dog training is an art, and like any artist you must pick your tools carefully in order to properly train your dog. Each dog is different, and thus you must be able to decide which collar is most appropriate for your dog based on its temperament, personality, and strength. Keep reading to learn the description of all the major varieties of dog training collars that you might come across when deciding to purchase one for you dog.
The metal choke collar is perhaps the most popular and widely used collar in the dog training world. For training larger and stronger dogs that tend to take you for a walk, these can be used.
Basically the same as your regular choke collar is the metal toggle choke collar and the major difference is that you can correct your dog easily if you use the toggle while your dog is off-leash.
When it comes to the pinch collar, make sure that it is rarely used and only in situations where the choke collar is ineffective in controlling your dog such as in situations where your dog is very strong, highly aggressive, or when it repeatedly lunges at other dogs and people.
You can use the fur saver collar to control the dog without getting fur caught in the chain which sometimes occurs when using an ordinary metal choke collar or without leaving chain marks around the dog's neck. It is mainly used when showing dogs and NOT in training them because the dogs don't tend to respond to them in training and they don't give the quick jerk needed for proper correction.
The nylon choke collar tend to be more gentle and they also tend to get young puppies used to wearing a collar which is why it is best used in small dogs and puppies up to 3 months.
On dogs that are more shy and easily corrected, such as dogs that respond quickly to your commands and dogs that tend to cringe upon your correction, the gentle head leader is best used.
When it comes to the electronic collar, it is mainly used for two reasons: it is used as a means of training the "out" command to a protection dog in its bite training phase and it is also used on field dogs such as in bird hunting.
As for the tracking harness, it is used for what its name suggests which is for tracking game, suspects, lost individuals, or competition articles.
Finally, designed in order for the dog's owner to be able to hang on to the lead while the dog guides her to her destination is called the seeing eye dog harness. This lead, unlike the other leads, is designed so that the dog can pull its owner forward as it walks instead of gently walking beside her on loose lead.
