Despite the fact that there aren’t too many cases where this can happen, we suggest you take your dog’s conditions into consideration before deciding to use an electronic collar. If your dog has epilepsy, for instance, it is not a good idea to use such a device to train him or her. Even the slightest vibration can cause a seizure, in this case, so try to use other methods.
To prevent irritation as well as neurologic issues, we recommend using such a device for less than eight hours a day. Furthermore, be aware that many dogs will respond to vibration and sound stimuli just as well as they would to electric shocks.
