Best e-collars for dogs in 2022

Electronic The collar has a wide range of applications, from training to GPS tracking of the dog's location. From the available range it is difficult to decide which model is right for your pet. The review presents a rating of high-quality electronic dog collars in 2022 with various properties and purposes.

General information: collar and its application

All devices of this type are divided into main categories:

• Retaining element;
• Barking control;
• Training;
• remote tracking.

The first mention of electronic collars dates back to the 60s. They were used to train hunting dogs.

containment system

Such a system implies the presence of an electronic fence without constructing barriers, which does not allow the pet to go beyond the designated area. The use of such electronic collars is popular among the owners of private houses where barriers are prohibited.

According to the method of laying the system there are:

• Underground;
• Ground;
• Wireless.

The first two types involve laying wires around the perimeter of the yard, the last one is intended for indoor use (for example, a certain place in the apartment).

The principle of operation is as follows: a radio signal passes through the wire with the transmitter to the receiver of the dog's collar. If the pet approaches the border, the device on the neck emits a warning tone or vibration signal. When you try to cross the border - electricity affects the animal, the level of intensity and frequency of which is set by the owner. Thus, a reflex is developed to prohibit leaving the safe area for movement.

The electronic fence system is a wireless model that creates an unpleasant feeling of static electricity when the animal is on it.

The rug also affects a person if he stepped barefoot on it.

Antilay system

Models of this type are used to eliminate dog barking by influencing the collar in one of the ways unpleasant for the animal:

• Electrical;
• Spray spray with or without scent;
• Ultrasonic;
• Vibration.

The use of ultrasound only affects the pet.

The device is activated by the barking of a dog or the vibration of the vocal cords. In order to avoid turning on the collar by extraneous sounds, some models have a special sensor that eliminates this possibility.

Training devices

The collar is controlled remotely using a remote control. Modern models should have:

• Extended range of degrees of influence;
• functionality;
• A different indicator of the duration of action;
• The presence of one of the signals to attract the attention of the animal (vibration or tone).

You can use the collar only if you have received special training and consulted with a training trainer.

Collar system with GPS

The task of the device is to track the position of the dog using a satellite navigation system and a collar. Models of such a plan have the functionality of a warning if the animal has left the restricted area. Thanks to the online map, dog owners can see the location of their four-legged friend, thereby ensuring his safety (theft or loss).

Selection rules: how to choose the right collar size

Good owners always have several options for collars in use. The main selection criteria depend on some parameters:

• The size of the animal;
• His age;
• wool type;
• pet temperament;
• Purpose of application.

The main criterion for choosing a collar for dogs is the length of the girth of his neck.The device must be free, but such as to prevent it from being easily removed by the pet. The table shows the general parameters for the collar (centimeters / inches), taking into account the size of the dog:

Name	Width	total length	Neck adjustment
For a small dog (M):	3/1,2	46/18	30-42/12-16,5
For medium dog (L):	4/1,5	56/22	40-52/15,5-20,5
For a large dog (XL):	4/1,5	66/26	50-62/19,5-24,5

To choose the ideal collar size for your pet, you need to use the size chart for a particular breed of dog.

The best collars are combined. At their cost, they are much more expensive than conventional models, however, the build quality is also on top. What to look for when buying a collar? Most of the trade items come as universal models - for any size of dog, in such cases you should definitely read the instructions and analyze the contraindications for use. Professional training collars are not suitable for all animals, so you need the help of a specialist in this matter, preferably one who knows the temperament of your pet.

Popular models are those that have a huge list of features and improved specifications.

For animals, the safest thing is exposure to vibration, sound or light. An extreme case is an electric shock, but it can lead to the opposite effect: the dog will become aggressive. In this regard, you need to carefully study the instructions for using a particular type of collar.

The set of each collar model is fully equipped with the necessary elements, however, for devices with the ability to control several dogs, additional equipment must be purchased.

All reviews on electronic collars are purely positive. The exception is dissatisfaction with the cost of goods.
