Some people unfamiliar with remote training collars view them as inhumane. When used correctly, nothing could be further from the truth. Electronic training collars, or remote training collars, have been around a long time. Trainers of working dogs enforcing commands from a distance embraced the earliest models. Those early collars had limited stimulation settings, and it was not very friendly for the dog wearing it. Their utility as a training tool, however, could not be denied. This training tool can be utilized from directing your dog in the right direction to teaching them the proper behaviors.
