As we outline in this Garmin Pro Trashbreaker Review, the Trashbreaker is one of the premium dog collar training systems on the market.

We outline the full list of features of the Trashbreaker in this review, as well as the cons, and who exactly the collar training system might suit.

Let’s take a closer look at it!

What Might Be The Best Way To Use An E Collar On A Dog?

For professional advice on using a shock or e collar, see a vet or a professional dog trainer, or animals expert.

But, in general, good e collars come with instruction manuals and guides that tell you how to safely and effectively use their product.

Look to buy from a reputable company that cares about the safety and well being of the dogs.

The best way to use an e collar might be as a temporary device for associating negative or undesirable behavior with a cue (such as a vibration or noise), or a stimulus (such as a nick/static stimulus).

They can be used to teach or retrain a certain behavior, and then put away. They may only be brought out again if your dog/s forget that behavior, or need retraining.

So, really, they could be used ideally as a temporary training and teaching tool (not permanent) for happy and healthy dogs. 

If you notice any negative side effects to your dog’s physical or mental health from using an e collar, discontinue use immediately.

The benefits of an e collar might be:

• You don’t have to set the collar to shock if it has alternative options like tone or vibration
• The lowest shock settings on good e collars will provide a small amount of discomfort, not pain
• The feedback to your dog is instantaneous and not delayed
• It works at range
• It saves you shouting and getting frustrated
• + many other benefits
