Dog training collars tend to vary in price and related features or capabilities. Prices range from $30 to $200 depending on the targeted behavior or activity you are trying to teach.  If you are a dedicated hunter or outdoor enthusiast, one of the key factors when considering a dog training collar is that it can hold up to the elements. While a $30 training collar may be suitable for curbing destructive or nuisance backyard behavior, it may not hold up to extreme conditions in the field. However, if you are just starting out training a new dog and want a user-friendly beginner model, there’s no need to break the bank.
