Synopsis: Have an unruly dog that won't listen to reason? Overcome by guilt at the thought of purchasing a dog shock collar? Don't be; the new, humane shock collars won't make you feel like Cruella DeVille. Today's units are perfectly safe - you can even test the shock level on yourself. These so-called " shock collars" emit much more of a static tingle than an AC outlet jolt.

Professional dog trainers have used these collars for years, because they're the quickest and most reliable way to keep your dog safe and in control.

Even better than the safety and humanity of shock collars is their effectiveness. Within a couple weeks of training, your previously lawless pooch will be brought to attendant heel - literally - through the wonders of the shock collar. Whether he's busy chasing squirrels, stealing your lunch, or gnawing on your loafers, the shock collar will immediately let him know he's done something wrong. The units work by training the dog to associate bad behaviors with a negative reinforcement. They allow you to correct unwanted behaviors from a distance, and require no physical intervention on your part. Shocking collars deliver an unequivocal "no" that your dog won't confuse, like he can your tone of voice.

A waterproof receiver attaches to the strap worn by your pet and activates when you send the correction or shock signal from the hand-held remote/transmitter. Your dog instantly associates his inappropriate behavior with the correction, and before long he'll very rarely need corrections from the shock collar. Since he connects the shock with his action, and not the shock collar, he'll soon avoid the behavior automatically, whether he's wearing the shock collar or not. Plus, the shock collar removes the possibility of your intimidating or alienating your dog by having to constantly vocally berate him.

These systems are available in different weights, intensities, and functionality to suit every need and breed. Also, some units allow you to set variable intensities, and nearly all collars warn the dog before the correction by sounding an alarm (i.e. tone or pager/vibration). Some collars also feature a vibrating alarm, which warns your dog but doesn't shock him. Please note: Large or stubborn dogs may require a stronger model of shock collar, or, in other-words, one that emits a higher-intensity shock than most.

Even if you have two or three dogs, you can train them simultaneously with a single shock collar system that uses one remote but receivers on different frequencies. In any shock collar, look for easily replaceable batteries and a compact receiver that won't weigh your dog down. Always follow the instructions that come with every shock collar to ensure safe, quick training.

Training your dog with a system as effective as a shock collar ensures that he'll be safe from tragedies such as traffic accidents and becoming lost. When your dog knows the rules, you don't have to worry.

I've noticed that there aren't any shock collars that don' t have remote controls. I am looking for a stand alone collar without a remote control
