Understanding E-Collars: A Brief Overview
E-collars, a type of remote training collar, use a combination of electrical stimulation and vibration to communicate with your dog. They consist of a transmitter worn by the handler and a receiver worn by the dog. When the handler activates the transmitter, a signal is sent to the receiver, which delivers a mild shock or vibration to the dog's neck.
