Buyers Guide
Here are some tips that you should keep in mind while purchasing a shock collar for your rottweiler:
- Well-fitted Neck Collar: Collar should fit perfectly on the neck of the rottweiler, leaving a space big enough to fit two fingers.
- Durable Fabric: Buy durable collars made from quality fabric to avoid easy breakage.
- Should Prevent Skin Damage: It should not cause irritation or rashes on your dog’s neck and must be comfortable to wear.
- Suitable for Dark Environment: Look out for collars with LED lights or reflective surfaces as they help identify dogs in dim lighting.
A variety of shock collars are available in the market with different specifications. Your choice should depend upon the purpose of training and the comfort of the dog.
Final Thoughts
While Shock collars are a popular method to discipline a dog, I personally do not prefer them, and neither do various dog experts. I think positive reinforcement is the best way to teach good behavior to your rottweiler. However, it’s your decision. But please make sure to keep the shock setting at the lowest and use it as a last resort.
