Purchasing the right electronic dog training collar doesn't have to be either difficult or expensive. Half of the electronic dog training collars presented are designed for the companion dog trainer or beginning sport dog trainer. The other are a comparison of more advanced or sportdog collars.

Companion dog electronic dog collars are usually used in closer proximity such as urban settings in yards, parks, and larger enclosed areas such as school grounds. Transmitter size is often smaller and more convenient. Distance is in yards instead of miles. While their features are slightly more limited than high-end sporting dog collars, they are considerably less expensive and often easier to learn to use.

Sporting dog collars are usually more full-featured than companion dog training collars due to the more advanced work they are expected to do and the more adverse conditions of the terrain. They may contain features such as LCD readouts and Locator Beepers.

Electronic Collars are very versatile.

You will want a remote trainer that has the correction power necessary to train your particular dog - levels suitable to his temperament: low (or vibration only) for small or timid dogs to high for stubborn or bull-headed dogs. The more stimulation levels you have the more precise your training can be. Training should be accomplished at the lowest level that gets a response without causing fear or yipping pain. (see more discussion of training technique and psychology.

If you will be ending only one or two bad behaviors (more problem solving than general training), the training collars with fewer levels will work. (See Innotek FS-15A, Innotek FS-25A
