Ranking of the Best Electronic Dog Collars in 2020

Electronic The collar has a wide range of applications, from training to GPS tracking of the dog's location. It is difficult to determine from the available assortment which model will suit your pet. The review presents a rating of quality electronic dog collars in 2020 with various properties and purposes.

General information: collar and its use

All devices of this type are divided into main categories:

• Restraining element;
• Barking control;
• Training;
• Remote tracking.

The first mention of electronic collars dates back to the 60s. They were used to train hunting dogs.

Containment system

Such a system implies the presence of an electronic fence without constructing barriers, which does not allow the pet to go outside the designated area. The use of such electronic collars is popular among owners of private houses where barriers are prohibited.

According to the method of laying the system, there are:

• Underground;
• Terrestrial;
• Wireless.

The first two types involve laying a wire around the perimeter of the yard, the last one is intended for indoor use (for example, a certain place in an apartment).

The principle of operation is as follows: a radio signal passes through the wire with the transmitter to the receiver of the dog's collar. If the pet approaches the border, the device on the neck emits a warning tone or vibration signal. When trying to cross the border, electricity affects the animal, the level of intensity and frequency of which is set by the owner. Thus, a reflex is developed to prohibit leaving the safe area for movement.

The electronic fence system is a wireless model that creates the unpleasant sensation of static electricity when an animal is on it.

The rug also affects a person if he stepped on it with bare feet.

Antilay system

Models of this type are used to eliminate dog barking by acting on the collar in one of the ways that are unpleasant for the animal:

• Electrical;
• Spray spray with or without odor;
• Ultrasonic;
• Vibration.

The use of ultrasound only affects the pet.

The device is activated by the barking of a dog or vibration of the vocal cords. In order to avoid the inclusion of the collar by extraneous sounds, in some models, a special sensor is provided, which excludes this possibility.

Training devices

Such a collar is controlled remotely using a remote control. Modern models should have:

• An expanded range of degrees of exposure;
• Functionality;
• Various indicator of the duration of action;
• The presence of one of the signals to attract the attention of the animal (vibration or tone).

The collar can only be used in case of special training and consultation with a training trainer.

Collar system with GPS

The task of the device is to track the position of the dog using a satellite navigation system and a collar. Models of such a plan have the functionality of warning if the animal leaves the confines of a limited area. Thanks to the online map, dog owners can see the location of their four-legged friend, thereby ensuring its safety (theft or loss).

Selection rules: how to choose the right collar size

Good wearers always have several collar options available. The main selection criteria depend on some parameters:

• Animal size;
• His age;
• Type of wool;
• Pet temperament;
• The purpose of the application.

The main criterion for choosing a collar for dogs is the length of the girth of its neck. The device must be loose, but such that it cannot be easily removed by the pet. The table shows the general parameters for the collar (centimeters / inches), taking into account the size of the dog:

Name	Width	total length	Neck adjustment
For a small dog (M):	3/1,2	46/18	30-42/12-16,5
For a medium dog (L):	4/1,5	56/22	40-52/15,5-20,5
For a large dog (XL):	4/1,5	66/26	50-62/19,5-24,5

To find the perfect collar size for your pet, you need to use the size chart for your particular dog breed.
