Decades ago, dog training collars used by hunting and gun dogs have different levels of static shocks and after decades of study and innovation of this technology, the static shocks are way much humane yet very effective in dog training. And there are different types aside from static shock collars too, that approaches dogs in different way also effectively train them. Vibrations, ultrasonic sound and spray like citronella, lemon or water are the alternative correction signals used which also alert and capture dog's attention to obey and listen. This article will list some effective and innovative alternative dog training collars for different kind of corrections and training for dogs.

UltraSonic Dog Training Collar. Ultrasonic dog training collars use a high-pitched tone that we can't hear, but animals can, to stop bad behaviors. The ultrasonic model actually only uses a transmitter, no collar is needed, so mailmen or neighbors can use it to correct any dog within 30 feet. The Ultrasonic Remote Pet Trainer is a small, hand-held device designed to assist you in the training of your dog or cat. Ideal for correcting misbehaviors, it takes advantage of your pet's sensitive hearing in the ultrasonic frequency range, beyond the range of human beings. The Trainer has only two buttons: Positive Tone for reward and Ultrasonic Tone for correction. The system is ideal for correcting: barking, chewing, jumping up, digging, and much more. It can corrects your pet using a startling ultrasonic sound, inaudible to the human ear. This system is very easy to use yet it can affect other dogs or cats too at any location within the range but that's not the case, the system can effectively stop dog's barking at your neighborhood. The system usually includes an easy-to-follow training manual that also teaches you basic obedience training; the sit, stay, come, heel, down and break commands.

Spray Dog Training Collar. When your dog does something bad, you interrupt him in the act by activating the spray. This spray does not punish the dog, it just interrupts him for a moment and makes him ready for a different activity. A citronella spray bark collar is often viewed as a humane alternative to painful shock collars. The gentle spray bark collar has a small receptor designed to pick up and respond to the barking sound of the dog by releasing a spray of citronella in front of the dog's snout. Using a spray, not a punishment this device will make your dog a happy and well behaved pet. Using a remote control, a citronella spray is ejected from a device worn around the dog's neck. Simply press the button on the remote control and an inoffensive citronella spray is ejected. The spray can be triggered at a precise moment in time, so that the delay between the unacceptable behavior and the redirection stimulus is instantaneous. he calibrated spray, causes neither pain or nasty after-effects. In fact, we have noticed that the spray has an appeasing effect on dogs. Furthermore the use of the spray is more effective to eliminate bad behavior, than techniques which involves fear or pain. Spray dog training collars are safe, ozone free, harmless to pets and non-offensive to human, too.

Vibration Dog Training Collars. A vibrating collar works much like a pager. It has 2 parts, a hand held unit for the person, and another unit that the dog wears as a collar. Vibration Collar / Vibrating Dog Collars are good for many types of Dog Training, especially for training Deaf Dogs, hearing impaired dogs, and older dogs who can be hard of hearing. Please note that a vibrating collar is not needed to train a deaf dog. It is a training tool, not a magical device that will cause your dog to respond to every signal you give him or her. It will not help your dog to learn anything you want to teach him. It simply gives you a way to get your dog's attention when they are not looking at you. Many deaf dogs have been successfully and completely trained without one. Also note that vibrating collar is not the same as a shock collar (which is a correction meant to stop a dog's misbehavior). Vibration collars can work in the same fashion. They allow you the option of communication without stimulation. Much like every other signal that you introduce to your dog (stimulation, vibration or tone) they mean nothing to the dog without the correct association. Dogs do not understand vibration without the training.
