- The flat collar is used in clicker training. This is a type of dog obedience collar that is good for small dogs, but they lift the dog in the air so when you are trying to get them to listen to you they won’t because they are distracted. Wouldn’t you be distracted if you all of a sudden was lifted in the air?
- The slip collar has another name, which is called the choke chain. My god, this one is so dangerous! It is actually made of metal links, and nylon. There is a metal ring at the end of it. This particular collar is not in use as much, because on how dangerous it is. When you pull it the collar makes a fast clicking noise to get the dog’s attention. You have to be so careful with this one though, because you can choke the dog.
- The martingale collar is made of nylon that when you pull the leash it tightens around the dog’s neck. Another one that is dangerous! When you place this collar around the dog’s neck it will fit loose, but when you pull it that is when it tightens so be very careful with this dog obedience collar.
- Prong collars looks just like the martingale collar, but it is made of metal links. Inside the collar there are prongs that will stop the dog from moving forward, and causes the dog to experience temporary pain. Again, with this dog obedience collar you have to be careful because when you pull it your dog will be going through discomfort.
- Shock collars also have another name, which is the e-collar. It receives a signal from a device that the dog owner operates. Then, an electrical shock goes from the collar to the dog. What is dangerous about this one is, the owner can change the different amount of high level shocks he can send to the collar. He can increase it to such a high level and hurt the dog. There are a lot of places where this dog obedience collar is banned for the reasons mentioned above.
- The leash is a dog obedience collar that connects from the handler to the dog. This one is made of nylon, metal or even leather. Usually it is 6 feet in length, but you can get it shorter or longer if you want. This one is used if you are trying to get a dog to listen to you if you are calling them from far away.
- Head halters are very similar to what is used on a horse. It looks like a muzzle and it stops the dog from pulling on its leash, but when you pull it the dog’s neck can get injured. There has been reports that this one causes a lot of harm to the dog.
