Knowing the technologies that make up a shock collar system is necessary for choosing the right collar for your pet. On this page you will find shockcollar-4less’s Shock Collar Guide.

Shock Collar Stimulations

Every modern shock collar that is made has two ways of administrating stimulation of radio waves to “shock” the pet. First, Continuous stimulation; this method of stimulation is best used when your pet is running away or severely misbehaving. Continuous stimulation delivers electric shock for as long as the trainer is holds down the transmitter trigger. For instance, if the trainer holds the trigger for 5 seconds, the dog will receive 5 seconds of stimulation from the shock collar.

Momentary stimulation is the second way of administrating shock to your pets. Momentary stimulation is one quick burst of voltage. If the momentary stimulation setting is on, your pet will only be shocked one initial time or until you retrigger the transmitter. This stimulation setting is usually used for small infractions/minor mistakes.

Shock collar ranges

It is important to know what type of training you will be conducting before you purchase a shock collar system. It is unnecessary to purchase a shock collar with a range of one mile if you just plan on training your pet on basic obedience skills. Shock collar systems have a range from anywhere between a couple hundred yards to a few miles. So make sure know what you need before you end up spending unnecessary money.

Levels of Stimulation

In the past, shock collar systems only came with two settings, a low and a high. This was an ineffective way of training a dog. Luckily for trainers and especially dogs, all modern systems come with multiple levels of stimulation. Trainers now have the option to carefully choose which setting fits the infraction.

Shock Collar Transmitter

When training a dog with a shock collar system there will be long training sessions so it is essential that you pick a transmitter that is comfortable for you. Transmitters come in all different sizes so pick one that will feel at ease in your hands.
