Today, we are learning more and more about training hunting dogs using the relatively new technology called electronic dog training collars. These collars have changed the way that working dogs are trained, especially hunting dogs.

One of the greatest values these collars give to the trainer is the increase of interaction between the trainer and the dog.  They allow for remote training, without a traditional leash, which greatly increases the options a trainer has in training a working or hunting dog.  Let’s look at why these collars are so effective.

The main components of electronic training collars are transmitters and receivers.  The transmitter is completely controlled by the trainer while the receiver is easily worn in a specially designed collar by the dog.  For the trainer, correcting a dog whether at home, during a show or while your dog is hunting is done through sending a signal that issues a small electrical jolt to your dog.  Before you become concerned let us put your mind at ease – these corrections do not cause pain to your dog, they merely provide a distraction so that your dog can be quickly corrected.  It’s been well documented that those who use these electronic methods of training their dogs have had great success in training their dogs at a quicker pace and that the dog remembers the training for longer periods of time than other training methods.

When you are searching for an effective electronic training collar for your dog, you want one that is reliable and safe.  Innotek is the premier electronic dog training collar supplier.  Whether you need a backyard system that allows you to train more than one dog or you want a simple system to train your pet at home, Innotek has a product that will meet your needs.
