Dog Collars

Dog Collars

Should shocking dog collars be considered animal abuse?

Those things really hurt. If you can't train your dog without using pain, you probably should just get a hamster and call it good.

I think if anything is hurting a dog or made to hurt a dog, it would be abuse. Animals shouldn't have to deal with pain in order to be trained.

Edit -

Yes, I have used one. Turned it up high, and it gave me a jolt that hurt. Also, I've seen my neighbor use it on her dog, pretty sure it didn't enjoy the experience.

Dogs are supposed to be man's best friend. They shouldn't be hurt. They make mistakes, just like people. Imagine going to work and getting shocked by your boss for doing something wrong. Not fun. Same with babies, people don't zap them for flinging food at the wall or crying.

However, I admit, sometimes they are necessary, as with the rattlesnakes mentioned. It all just depends on how it's being used and who's using it.

The development of dog collars has come a long way since the first days of using rope to harness a dog. Now days there are training dog collars, and basic collars, muzzle collars, collars of all shapes and sizes and materials, and also fruity smelling collars (citronella) -- although dogs don't care for them.

GPS Dog Collars

One of the more fresh embellishments to dog collar technology is the GPS collar. It seems only right that if everyone else can have GPS tracking systems why not dog collars. Although dog owners from the beginning have been able to get along without GPS dog tracking systems, now days its almost pertinent to have. Hunters can use these GPS tracking systems to locate their pets, if they are far away from the group, or if a child is walking with the dog, and they get lost, a worried parent would be able to track the dog and the child, and/or if you are camping in the open and your dog runs away you will be able to track him.

One of the latest gadgets in the form of a GPS dog collar is the Astro Comobo-DC30. It comes with a wireless transmitter with VHF antenna, 17-36-battery hour life, collar adjustments so your dog is comfortable, standalone collar transmitters, and even a USB cable to connect to your computer. There is a useful dog tracker view option that allows you to see if your dog is running, walking, sitting or treeing. The works of this Astro combo DC30 really makes life easy for the avid hunter, camper, or park goers.

Reflective Dog Collars

Are exactly what they are, reflectors. A reflective dog collar reflects light in the dark. When light is shine on it, like a cone on the highway. This will help to keep your dog safe in the evening time, while on an after dinner stroll or jog, or to take out the trash. Having a reflective dog collar is important because many K9s have been hit by bikes or cars or stumbled on because at night it is hard to see them. With the reflective dog collars, your dog becomes much safer in the dark-and more visible to cars.

The reflective dog collar and the GPS dog collar are great things to have and make your life and your pets' life easier and safer. Dog collars are so important and as technology furthers, makers will find ways to continue making owners and dogs happier.
