Introduce the e-collar only after your dog understands the command on a leash. The e-collar is meant to reinforce commands, not to teach them from scratch.
At what age should I introduce the e-collar to my puppy?
Training with the e-collar should only start when your puppy shows the mental capacity to understand commands. This typically happens around five to six months. Again, this is less about age and more about the ability to learn. You can start earlier by having your puppy wear the collar during play time without turning it on. This way your puppy will associate the collar with having fun.
Are shock collars safe for my dog?
Yes, when used properly, the shock setting on a quality e-collar is a safe and effective way to reinforce commands. It's comparable to feeling a static shock after rubbing your socks on carpet. The Claw Co e-collars allow for precise control over the level of stimulation, so you can tailor it to your dog's specific temperament.
