Dog Training Collar

I read an excellent article today in the American Chronicle by a guy called Kenneth Elliot. It discussed how different breeds of dog require different training methods. In it, he mentioned that a collie will spontaneously bark and chase any stranger who appears to threaten the family. That can be desirable for a watch dog guarding the house at night. But it can be annoying if carried out every time a child walks by along the sidewalk during the afternoon. Bark collars are sometimes necessary under these circumstances, but remove the collar when the sun goes down. That way the dog may only associate the discouragement with daylight and still continue to function as a watch dog when it counts. Sound advice in the right circumstances.
