There are two common types of E-collar, the Electric Collar and the Elizabethan Collar, which are used for different purposes, as follows:
Electronic training collar
Train dog behavior
- Correct bad behavior: When the dog appears such as excessive barking, biting furniture, jumping and other bad behavior, the owner can operate the electronic training collar through the remote control, emit electric shock, vibration or sound signals, so that the dog will be these uncomfortable stimuli and bad behavior to establish a connection, thereby reducing or stopping the behavior.
- Assisted obedience training: When training dogs to perform basic commands such as "sit", "lie down" and "come", if the dogs do not cooperate or respond slowly, electronic training collars can be used to stimulate the dogs to help them understand the owner's intention faster and strengthen the correct behavior. For example, in the training of police dogs and military dogs, trainers can control the dog's behavior more accurately to meet the training requirements.
- Standardized range of motion: The electronic training collar can be set to the boundary range for the specific training system. Once the dog approaches or crosses the border, the collar will send a warning signal, which can effectively prevent the dog from getting lost.
Improve training efficiency
- Remote control: The remote control distance of the electronic training collar can reach hundreds of meters or even farther, and the owner can control and train the dog at a distance, so that the dog has only more free space to move at the same time, but also easy for the owner to train.
- Accurately convey instructions: The owner can precisely adjust the intensity, frequency and duration of the stimulus through the remote control according to the dog's behavior and training progress, so that the dog can clearly receive the master's command signal, and avoid the poor training effect caused by unclear instructions.
Elizabeth collar
- It is mainly used in the field of pet medical treatment and care, to wear pets after injury, surgery or illness, to prevent them from licking, scratching the wound or affected area, to avoid wound infection, tearing, affecting healing. For example, after a pet has surgery, wearing an Elizabeth collar can prevent it from licking the surgical wound. Pet skin inflammation, trauma, can also prevent its excessive scratching, conducive to wound and disease recovery.
