Discover the safety of E-Collars in water for your furry friend. Learn the facts, protect your pet.
The e-collar's or training collar functionality in water, especially its stimulation consistency, is crucial to understand.
To test this, We put the collar on hand and submerged it in water. Let's see how it works.
One important aspect of electric collars is that electricity follows the path of least resistance.
This time we focus on practical applications, particularly how the e-collar or training collar performs when submerged.
When the contacts of the collar are underwater, consistent stimulation may not occur. As a dog enters the water, its neck may or may not be submerged. There are pictures showing how a dog's movements in water can affect collar contact.
We set the collar to a stimulation level that should work, starting with three. Testing it on our hand, we can feel it, but not strongly. Increasing around six, the sensation becomes more noticeable. At seven, most of us can feel it underwater, though not as sharply as when it's dry.
Here's the issue: as the dog's head moves in and out of the water, stimulation levels fluctuate. When the collars are submerged, there's less stimulation, but when the wet dog comes out of the water and receives stimulation, it can be unexpectedly intense due to reduced resistance.
It's crucial to know your collar's levels. In most cases, we can't feel the stimulation at three, start to feel it around five and find it quite hot at six. This adjustable collar allows precise control over stimulation levels, which is crucial in water.
Using e-collars responsibly is vital for maintaining a good relationship with your dog. Inconsistent stimulation can confuse and distress them. Frying your dog with excessive stimulation in water is counterproductive.
So when the dogs play around the pool or underwater, we can lower the shock level in the daily training. It's essential to foster trust and positive associations with commands, not fear.
