Customer Questions about Remote Dog Training Collars

"I'm amazed that hunters would need a shock collar. I've had Labs for 36 years and never used one. I find if you have a quality dog (i.e. breeding) and you spend time with them there should be no problem."

Generally, what you are doing with your dog determines if you really need a remote training collar or not. I feel that if you can't train a dog without an ecollar then you can't train a dog with one. It's just a tool. It's like saying "I can't believe they use nail guns now to build houses. This hammer does the job just fine."

Most of the training has to be done in the same fashion as it was before electronics, but by adding electronics to it, you can speed up the process and communicate with your dog the exact moment that he needs a correction.

The real beauty of it is that by using them correctly, you can lower the number of corrections needed and also lower the intensity of the correction. You can also take out the "human" element of the correction. Since I can correct the dog at say 200 to 500 yards with a collar, I don't need to run him down and make a physical correction.

The only real down side to the use of electronics is in the breeding. Since you can take a "bad" dog and make him perform at a higher level than you could 20 years ago, more "bad" dogs are getting bred. This makes finding a well bred dog more difficult because certain breeding flaws can be fixed or covered up.

Of course, you can fix this by being very selective in who you buy from. I am real picky about breeders. It's really the most important choice you can make in your dog training. - Steve

If this is your first visit to Gun Dog Supply, welcome to our online Yahoo! Store. -- Way back in 1997, we got the idea to sell on the WWW after shopping on eBay and Amazon and buying through other online catalogs. It's so much easier to offer more information and content with an online catalogue, rather than a 72-page mail order brochure. Customers enjoy reading our info and articles where we share our opinions on our top-rated products.

From time to time we feature our top-selling products with promotional pricing or free shipping. Most of the time, most regular products are sold below manufacturers' suggested retail prices (MSRP). We sometimes offer wholesale pricing to qualified dealers on certain items and some offers are consumer only, no-dealer purchasing. Some people are more interested in choosing the cheapest, clearance-priced items such as overstock through an outlet dealer. Make sure your purchases are through an AUTHORIZED Internet dealer, especially for electronic canine products for warranty support issues.

Buyers save when you shop online. Why surf the Web for discount codes, online promo codes, and coupons when you know we have every day low prices? Your satisfaction with your purchases is important to us. We use the Yahoo! Store Rating system and our consumer reports are very good. We offer product recommendations and stand behind our recommended & reviewed products with our 30-Day Money Back Guarantee. Comparing prices is important, but when you find the lowest, discounted item, you may find other things, too. Savings may vary. Discounts and coupon prices subject to change without notice.
