Small Dog Shock Collar - What
to look for?
What
should you look for in a small dog shock collar?
.
It can
be difficult finding asmall dog shock
collar in the
market these days. Amazingly most of
the collars available are aimed at large dogs rather than
tiny to small dogs. Below I have listed some thing you
should look for when purchasing a small dog shock
collar.
Size of small dog shock
collar
Although
obvious, the size of collar should sit comfortable on your dogs
neck and not cause any strain to the dog whatsoever. Alot of
people modify large dog shock collars to fit smaller dogs. I do
not advice this as this may apply excess weight and pressure on
the dogs neck especially on tiny dogs and cause problems in
future. When looking for a small dog shock
collar make
sure it fits correctly before
purchasing.
Strength of static charge
on small
dog shock collar
As we
are dealing with smaller dogs it usually isn't necessary for
you to purchase a collar with a high static charge. Usually a
collar with 2 levels of strenght is adequate enough for
training a small dog. Remember that collars with many various
strength levels are often heavier and more expensive, and more
often that not do not offer great value for money for owners
off smaller dogs.
Stick with a brand and
recognised company
If you
have a look on the net you will find many reviews on
various small dog shock
collars from
diffrent brands and companies. Please remember that there
are alot of illegal types of collar available which are
clones of brand types. You might think you are saving
money, but who can isure quality and saftey of the
product at hand. Take your time with researcjh and
purchase your small dog shock collar from a reputable
website or dealer.
Some of
the most populare brands of small dog shock
collars include
the following:

Collars

brands of collar listed above have a range of collars that are
