Pet owners who raise large dogs need to spend more time and energy to accompany your large dog than those who raise small dogs. Large dogs are incredibly heavy, and once they start to be stubborn about something, it is difficult for their owners to change and correct them. Shock collars for large dogs will help you manage and train your dog well, let’s take a look at the comprehensive guide.
Bad behaviors of large dogs include jumping on people, digging holes in your flower beds, chasing people and cars, and excessive barking, chasing and breaking things in the house, and chewing the sofa. Dog training collars are one of the real and effective pet products to correct bad habits of large dogs.
How to choose a shock collar for large dogs?
Choosing the right shock collar for large dogs is a task that requires careful consideration. The size, strength and behavioral characteristics of large dogs are significantly different from those of small dogs, so when choosing a collar, you must ensure that its function and strength can meet the training needs without negatively affecting the dog’s health.
Understand the role and working principle of electric shock collars
Electric shock collars are a tool used for dog behavior correction, mainly by providing mild electric shocks, vibrations or sound feedback to correct the dog’s inappropriate behavior. For large dogs, these collars are often used in the following scenarios:
- Barking control: reduce excessive or unnecessary barking.
- Behavior correction: correct aggression, pulling on ropes and other problems.
- Training purpose: help large dogs complete specific training tasks, such as remote commands or hound training.
Please do not use electric shock training to correct your dog’s inappropriate behavior at the beginning. You can gradually use buzzing, vibration, and different shock intensities.
What kind of electric shock collar is suitable for large dogs?
To choose the right electric shock collar for large dogs, you need to consider the adjustment range and shock intensity of the collar, battery life, operation and control, waterproof performance, safety and other aspects to ensure that it is safe and healthy for dog training.
Adjustable range of collar
The adjustable range of the collar determines the adaptability and comfort. Usually, since large dogs have thicker necks, you need to choose an electric shock collar with adjustable collar length and comfortable material. Too tight may affect the dog’s blood circulation, while too loose may cause poor contact and affect the training effect. Adjustable electric shock collars are also effective for some small vicious dogs, using vibration and buzzing to warn them.
Adjustment range and intensity of collar electric shock
Large dogs are larger in size and are usually not sensitive to low-intensity electric shock or vibration. Therefore, when choosing an electric shock collar, make sure the device has an adjustable intensity range to adapt to different training needs.
It is recommended to choose a collar that can cover from mild stimulation to strong feedback, so that you can gradually adjust according to the dog’s reaction. At the same time, you should also pay attention to the fact that when you adjust the electric shock collar to the strongest level, your dog may be injured and have a rebellious mentality.
Battery life
Large dogs often need to go out to release their energy, otherwise they will destroy the house. Electric shock collars for outdoor training of large dogs need to have a long battery life, and rechargeable batteries will be more friendly to pet owners.
Operation and Control
The shock collar usually consists of a controller and a dog collar. When we conduct outdoor activities or long-distance training with large dogs, the remote control range of the remote controller needs to have sufficient coverage (at least more than 300 meters). Even if the dog is out of our sight, it can be reminded by beeps and vibrations to quickly return to our safe field of vision.
Waterproof performance
Many large dogs like water activities or may need to be trained on rainy days, so waterproof shock collars are also very important. The higher the waterproof performance, the better to adapt to various environments. Dokoo dog collar supports IP67 protection performance, no fear of playing in water.
Safety
Safety is the primary consideration for using shock collars. High-quality shock collars should have automatic power-off protection and low-battery reminder functions. In addition, the tip on the dog collar receiver should be equipped with a silicone protective cover to prevent electric shock from directly hurting the dog’s skin.
In addition, some shock collars can also come with a leash, so you can feel more at ease when you go out for a dog walk. The silent control, memory function, and manual/automatic mode switching of the large dog shock collar are also very friendly for outdoor training of large dogs.

Precautions for using electric shock collars
High-quality electric shock collars will make feeding and training your dog easier, but we still need to pay attention to some issues during use to avoid using dog electric shock collars incorrectly.
- Start with low intensity: gradually increase the intensity, observe the dog’s reaction, and avoid using too high an intensity of electric shock at the beginning.
- Do not wear it for a long time: the electric shock collar should only be worn during training to avoid stress on the dog’s skin and psychology.
- Cooperate with reward training: Combined with positive reinforcement (such as snacks or praise), the effect will be more significant.
Avoid misoperation: Make sure to use the electric shock function at the appropriate time and situation, and do not hurt the dog by mistake.
Pay attention to the dog’s emotions: If the dog shows obvious fear or resistance, stop using it immediately and adjust the training method.
Summary
Choosing an electric shock collar for large dogs requires a balance between effect, safety and comfort. A high-quality electric shock collar should have the characteristics of a large adjustment range, waterproof and durable, easy operation, and pay attention to the dog’s health and psychological state. The reasonable use of electric shock collars can not only help you correct your dog’s inappropriate behavior, but also enhance the communication and trust between you and your dog. Choose the right tools, combined with scientific training methods, to make your large dog a happier and more well-behaved companion.
