What Is the Best Shock Collar Available and Affordable?
Question by tom3pleotvteyxo: What is the best shock collar available and affordable?
I have a 7 mnth old basset hound around 55lbs. Im looking for the best and most affordable shock collar to train him. My main concern is he keeps running across the road, through the woods, and everywhere he knows not to go. He also has a major barking/howling problem. Along with these, just a couple minor puppy problems like nipping, and jumping. Also, I’m wondering if the “bark collars” can also be used for his roaming problem. And I would appreciate any other tips and techniques for using a shock collar.

everyone is going to say don’t use it, i’ve actually tried it. i had a border/kelpie who barked heaps and it worked at first but after a week she didn’t care anymore and would bark anyway, even on the highest level. so it’s a waste of money. you’re better off spending the money on getting a trainer to come to your house and deal with the problems, because you have a lot of problems and you need help resolving them.
it’s not hard to train your dog to stop running away and a trainer can help you with that, with the roaming i don’t think you’ll ever be able to stop him. the type of dog he is will follow a scent no matter what but maybe a trainer could find a way for you to channel that into something else to stop it.
like i said though, the shock collar was a waste of money and you’re better off paying someone to come to your house and help you solve your problems, that’s what worked for me. good luck!

I think shock collars are cruel. Try one on your own neck and see how it feels before buying one. Then I doubt would consider this option.

I rented out the first barking collar I had to a boarding kennel owner for a time; he told me that out of the hundreds of dogs he used it on, only one, a yellow Lab, continued to bark in spite of being shocked. I once adopted a Sheltie who was …
