Over time, there has been a discussion among dog owners and different animal health activists on the right kind of a collar to use for your dog. The make and the design of the collars have an impact on the safety of your dog. In some cases, the type of your dog will determine the kind of a collar you need to get for them.
The boundary technology has come to make life even more comfortable for most dog owners. It has made it possible for you to control your pet remotely and keep it within reach without necessarily closing it in or tying it down. That said, the question is what is an appropriate collar to achieve this purpose? You should note that all that matters in getting the proper dog collar for the various purposes is the safety of the dog and not necessarily the design or popularity of the control method.
1. Flat collar
This is the most common and basic dog boundary collar that fits almost all the dog types. It is available in different shapes, patterns, and embroideries. For boundary use, you can opt for this collar and install the signal transmitter on the collar once you have it.
2. Programmed collar
The companies that make the boundary fences may provide the dog collar as part of the package. These are usually the flat types of collars but with programmed properties that alert you and the dog when it is about to go past the restricted area.
3. Shock collar
Apart from the collars that produces sounds or sends signals to both of you when the boundary mark is surpassed, the shock collar is set to shock the dog once it passes the boundary. The shock setting is mild and will not hurt your dog but instead protect them from danger wandering away and getting lost.
4. The multi safety collar
This is a special kind of dog boundary collar that is not only designed to keep your dog in a controlled area, but it also provides extra safety properties to prevent accidental hanging or chocking. They are fitted with a mechanism that releases when there is too much pressure exerted on it. So if your dog hangs on something, it is not likely to choke. What more, since it is also programmed, you will be notified of the incident and will be able to check on the dog to rescue it.
The most important part as said before is the safety of the dog. Be sure to check the manufacturer’s instructions before buying any of the above highlighted dog boundary collars.
