Home / Dog Blog / How to Use a Shock Collar Correctly
November 9, 2012 by Russell Hartstein CDBC, CPDT 9 Comments
If you are considering using a dog training collar such as a shock collar (euphemistically referred to as a vibration collar, static collar, pager collar, tingle collar, tickle collar, E collar, recall collar, electric collar, positive reinforcement collar, stimulation collar, remote “training” collar, prong collar or choke chain, etc.) this dog training guide is for you.

There are many euphemisms for shock collars because it turns out that electrocuting your dog doesn’t sell products well. So new names pop up daily, such as dog bark collar, e-collars, electric collar training, puppy shock collar, etc., but here’s the thing, they are all the same. ANY electrical current delivered to your dog’s neck or body via any mechanism or device is a shock collar.
It’s important that we are all on the same page and don’t get confused with the names for-profit corporations use in their marketing. Beware, businesses will often try to sell you something ineffective and extremely damaging to your dog and your relationship.
You want an obedient dog that you don’t have to bribe with dog treats . A dog that listens to you while building a strong bond and loving meaningful relationship. Every relationship is a dialogue, not a monologue. We must acknowledge that all animals have a voice, rights, preferences, autonomy, and feelings. These are the universal foundations of any healthy relationship.
The relationship with your dog is no different. Your dog wants to be free, loved, and happy just like all living beings. Not in pain. So the real question is, how do you train your dog to listen to you and to turn to you for guidance when they are unsure about something instead of reacting fearfully or aggressively? I’ll cover that and more, but first, let’s talk about how to use an E-collar, remote collar, shock collar, or bark collar.
The first thing you should know is that there are no regulations in dog training and behavior. Anyone can call themselves a dog trainer or behaviorist. Scary, but true.
Right off the bat, you should understand that anyone recommending or using a shock collar, choke chain, or prong collar is not a certified dog trainer or behaviorist. Because not only is it unethical and immoral to recommend and use punitive devices but it is inhumane and not allowed by any reputable certification body and organization.
Many archaic and confused “trainers” would have you believe that you have to dominate your dog for a dog to learn who’s boss and in charge. However, the opposite is true. Dog’s learn quickest (while remaining healthy and happy) by implementing positive reinforcement dog training with food rewards and desensitization and counterconditioning (D/CC) and not punishing your dog or relying on a shock collar, E collar or a dog bark collar that are all designed to inflict pain.
“Should I use a shock collar for dog training?” This is a common question I get from parents because I get such fast results when a dog stays with me for my dog training boot camp . Los Angeles pet parents aren’t impatient or any different than other parents, they simply want their dog to behave. So do we! This is exactly why we don’t use shock collars.
The sad irony is that shock collars cause more dog training and behavior problems than prevent. Because emotions are attached to every dog behavior and don’t happen in a vacuum. When a dog (cat or any animal) gets shocked or punished, it doesn’t teach them anything new. Trainers just hope that it stops an underlying problem behavior ( dog barking , lunging, dog aggression , puppy biting , leash pulling, separation anxiety , etc.,) without looking at the fallout. That fallout is emotional, behavioral, and medical. I’ll discuss more of this below.
To determine if shock collars work, we must first look closely at what we are trying to accomplish when using an e-collar. What’s your desired training result? An even more important question to ask is, what other training, behavior, and emotional problems arise by shocking a dog? If a parent wants the cessation of a behavior, and therefore shock a dog when they do something “wrong,” what other health and behavioral processes are affected by this acute pain? We know that shocking a dog and using punishment causes fear, anxiety, and stress (FAS). All organisms experiencing fear, anxiety, and stress manifest those toxic conditions and emotional states through a host of maladaptive behaviors, coping mechanisms, and compromised immune systems.
There are none if you care about your dog’s training, welfare , happiness, and wellbeing. Keep reading to see why they are vastly inferior and dangerous compared to other positive reinforcement dog training methods .
A dog parent wants their dog to stop doing some behavior, let’s say your dog lunges towards other dogs when on-leash dog walking (but the problem behavior could be counter-surfing, jumping on the bed, dog running bolting or running away, ignoring you, etc., or any behavior you want your dog to stop doing). A confused trainer might say to ‘buzz’ the dog (AKA shock) every time the dog lunges towards another dog. Let’s investigate what happens here, to see why it doesn’t work, might have the opposite behavioral effect, and why it’s faulty advice.
Why was the dog lunging in the first place? – Before we can help solve a behavior problem we need to looks at the ABCs (Antecedent, Behavior, and Consequences) of every behavior. This is called a Functional Assessment in Applied Behavior Analysis.
We don’t know why the dog was lunging to begin. Was the dog lunging to get closer to another dog to play, mate, socialize, sniff or say hi or was your dog overstimulated in that environment, too close to the other dog, scared, overwhelmed, displaying fear aggression, or dominance aggression?
Here’s the thing, regardless of the reason/s your dog is lunging towards another dog, if you shock a dog when they lunge (or perform any problem behavior), your dog now has associated pain with whatever your dog happened to be looking at/perceiving at the exact moment when they got punished/shocked.
In other words, if your dog was lunging to meet a friend or loved one, now your dog has associated them with the fear and pain they just experienced with the shock. The next time your dog sees them or other people, your dog will likely lunge aggressively or become unpredictable around people or dogs.
If on the other hand your dog was fearful and trying to create distance to the stimulus or it was an aggressive lunge, and your dog gets shocked for lunging, now your dog will be justified that the stimulus (the other dog or person) is scary and your dog will likely become more fearful or aggressive the next time they lunge. The biggest problem with punishment is that it doesn’t consider the dog’s feelings, quality of life, welfare, or emotional fallout of the animal and how that causes a dog to behave in the future.
What was your dog looking at or somatosensory perceiving, when he got shocked? We can never be 100% certain because we are not the dog. Was your dog looking at a baby, a cat, a tree, a man, a woman, a bird, or YOU ? What was your dog smelling at the time? What was your dog hearing at the time? What surfaces was your dog touching, standing on, or feeling at the time of the shock? What was the temperature, time of day, or location at the time of the shock? All of these are now potential and likely triggers/stimuli that will now elicit fear anxiety and stress in your dog and also make your dog more reactive and aggressive towards these stimuli. This is the problem with dogs and generalization .
Dogs are associative learners which means that the delivery of an eclectic shock (aversive/pain) to a dog is associated with whatever the DOG associates it with and was sensing (looking at, smelling, hearing, feeling, etc.) at the time of the pain and not what we want them to associate the pain with . This is vital to understand and are two very different realities!
As you can see in these common examples, now your dog’s initial fear or aggression is intensified, created, or justified regardless of why your dog was lunging, to begin with. This is an oversimplification of a much more complex behavioral process and training problem however it illustrates some of the many reasons why not to use a shock collar if you want your dog to be well trained, healthy, happy and to listen to you.
It’s important to remember when we use a shock collar (or any aversive/punishment) we are not teaching the dog a new behavior. The dog is not acquiring any new dog training skills or information. Therefore shock collar use does not fall under teaching at all because nothing new is acquired or learned. Stopping or reducing a behavior is not teaching the dog anything new. It is the cessation or reduction of behavior.
However, besides shock collar training being inhumane, there are many more reasons why you cannot use a shock collar to train a dog if you want your dog to learn to behave and listen to you. As previously mentioned, using a shock collar will have the opposite training resul t s that you want. Here’s are more evidence-based scientific reasons why it is impossible to use a shock collar effectively or humanely.
In order for a shock collar to “work”, the electrical vibration must cause a dog’s behavior to be reduced or completely stopped. If this does not occur, it doesn’t fall under the definition of punishment and is abuse. In order for an e-collar to work (or any aversive stimulus), ALL of the following three conditions would have to be present and occur simultaneously in order for the shock collar to be an effective punisher. The three conditions that must be present concurrently in order for a vibration or an E-collar to stop a dog’s behavior are easy to remember with the acronym PIE:
In addition to equipment malfunction, if a trainer adds too much electricity/pain, the dog dies, too little electricity/pain the dog habituates and desensitizes to the shock/vibration and you need to keep increasing the shock/pain in order for it to have an effect on the dog.
Hence, in that brief second when you stumble for the remote control to shock the dog, reach into your pocket, look at your phone, read this blog post, go to work, the bathroom, to sleep, etc., and you can’t punish/shock your dog immediately during (not after) the problem behavior, a dog will not associate the behavior with the pain.
Worse off, from a training perspective, is that the dog has now learned that sometimes the behavior works, and sometimes it doesn’t. This lack of training consistency and impossible task makes the problem behavior even stronger and more difficult to stop.
Conversely, the stimulus may even increase the problem behavior or encourage your dog to keep trying as he knows that it works every so often if the aversive is not strong enough or not aversive at all. If the shock is not punishing, it is an ineffective aversive stimulus and falls under abuse.
Again, depending upon if your dog’s behavior increases or decreases and how the dog behaves contingent upon the stimulus determines whether the stimulus is a reinforcer or punisher. Also, of great importance is the phenomenon of Recovery From Punishment . This is an Applied Behavior Analysis term that’s defined as, “ Stopping the punishment or penalty contingency for a previously punished response causes the response rate to increase to its rate before the punishment or penalty contingency.” Thereby having the opposite effect of what you intended and increases the unwanted behavior not decreases it.
Lastly, of equal importance is understanding what and how a Conditioned Punisher works. A Conditioned Punisher is an aversive (shock collar, choke chain, pinch/prong collar, leash popping, etc.) that loses its effectiveness through unpaired presentations. In other words, when you are not available or too slow to push the remote shock collar button, every single time, the punisher (shock collar) will lose its effectiveness on the dog’s behavior.
The same three PIE conditions must be met for all punitive dog training equipment such as choke chains, prong collars, bark collars, citronella collars, etc. which is why no contemporary behaviorist or trainer recommends using any of those punitive devices. All punitive dog training equipment is designed to inflict pain. And, they all work the same way in that the principles and laws of learning and how a dog learns do not change based on the piece of dog training equipment used by a trainer.
Remember that in order to train a dog “successfully” with a shock collar, all three of the above PIE conditions must be met. However, we can all agree that it is impossible for any of the three conditions to be met, let alone all three! It is impossible for an expert certified dog trainer and behaviorist such as myself to deliver any one of these conditions flawlessly, nevertheless, all of them, every single time and immediately after every problem behavior presents itself. Impossible.
Some confused people claim, you only need to shock the dog once in order for it to “work”. Theoretically yes, but not practically as mentioned above in PIE. Otherwise, why would a dog ever need to wear a shock collar more than one brief iteration? Other than for that one application of electricity it would be completely useless and a dog wouldn’t wear a shock collar ever again.
Also, it is not true that you only need to punish a dog once in order for a problem behavior to stop. That is a misunderstanding and an oversimplification of how punishment and training work. If there is not a reduction in the dog’s frequency/rate of response to the punishment, by definition it is not punishment, it’s abuse. Therefore if a parent continues to use the shock collar it is abuse not the cessation of a behavior.
More importantly, what happens after the cessation of a behavior? Now, there is a void and you need to teach your dog an appropriate behavior. But ironically, you could have simply taught a dog an appropriate behavior from the very beginning with high-value dog treats with no risk of emotional, medical, or behavioral fallout and without hurting a dog and putting them in danger.
Sometimes a client will ask, “What about using a shock collar one time while the dog is counter-surfing?” The answer is still, nope.
All of the same PIE conditions must be paired concurrently with any behavior. The laws of learning do not change for the behavior.
In addition, in this scenario, the problem is that counter surfing occurs also when you’re not there. So the dog simply practices the counter-surfing when you’re not present. This also occurs with many other behaviors such as when a doesn’t jump on the bed or couch when you’re home but does the second you go to work or leave the house. If you haven’t had the chance to see your dog do this, get a dog camera webcam. You’ll crack up to see what your dog is up to when you’re not home.
How practical is a shock collar? First, let’s define some terms. Although the definition of punishment is to reduce or stop a behavior the reality is that’s NOT what parents want. Slowing down or reducing a behavior is not enough and I have never met a parent in 30 years of dog training that just wants their dog to reduce the amount of time their dog pees or poops in the house , destroys the rug, pulls on the leash, growls at a child, etc. We don’t want to reduce our dog from, counter-surfing, or eating our shoes, we want those behaviors to stop in addition to learning a new appropriate behavior! So this type of punishment is not very practical to begin with.
“Nothing made by brute force lasts.” (Robert Louis Stevenson)
No, not if they want well-trained police dogs and care about a dog’s welfare and health.
Many people mistakenly believe that larger dog breeds like German Shepherds , Labrador Retrievers , American Pit Bull Terriers, and other large working dogs need shock collars to “behave” in stressful environments where training errors could cost lives. That is a common fallacy that is not founded anywhere in evidence-based training and behavior. In fact, just the opposite has been proven here , here , and here .
If a police officer, military or the Navy Seals want their working dogs to be more obedient and to listen more attentively, perform skills with greater precision, accuracy, speed, and improved latency, the training used should be only positive reinforcement dog training and not some other methods of dog training .
It doesn’t matter whether you are training a military dog, a German Shepherd Schutzhund, and I.P.O. champion, hunting dogs, police patrol dogs, guard dog protection training, K9 search, and rescue (SAR) , service dog training , bomb or narcotics detection dogs, all roads lead to no shock, no choke chains, no prong collars and the use of positive reinforcement dog training with high-value rewards.
No dogs should be trained with shock collars because they are ineffective, inhumane, and will have the reverse dog training effects that you want.
If you are considering using a dog training collar such as a shock collar , prong collar, or choke chain, please consider the emotional, behavioral, and psychological fallout.
Stress kills, and so does equipment designed to inflict pain and suffering . There are many instances where dogs are injured or die from the use of punitive equipment. Stress is as debilitating for the dog-parent relationship as it is damaging to the dog’s behavior, emotional, and psychological state. As a Los Angeles dog trainer, I constantly clean up and repair broken relationships, poor behavior, and shoddy training advice given by confused traditional or balanced dog trainers.
Being a pet parent, dog trainer, or educator is about establishing healthy relationships and friendships. Which are both built on trust and authentic love. Trust and love are violated and dissolve when someone forces you to do something, incites fear, anxiety, and stress or causes you emotional or physical pain . Friendships and relationships are about empowering one another, not disempowerment. Bullying is the antithesi
