training collars
Canine correction tools
Training collars are devices worn around a dog's neck to correct unwanted behavior or reinforce commands.
The term covers a range from choke chains and prong collars to electronic collars that deliver vibration, sound, or electric shock.
The trainer recommended a training collar to stop the dog from pulling on the leash.
Their use is controversial—proponents call them effective tools, critics consider them inhumane.
