Why the Use of a Training Dog Collars Sometimes Counterproductive ¿Ö ÈÆ·Ã °³ ¿Ê±êÀÇ »ç¿ëÀº ¶§·Î´Â ¿ªÈ¿°ú

Dog trainers, especially those who are not professionals in the field, usually confuse dog training with control. µµ±× Æ®·¹À̳Ê, ƯÈ÷ ÀÚµé °³ ºÐ¾ß¿¡¼­ ÀϹÝÀûÀ¸·Î ÄÁÆ®·Ñ°ú ÇÔ²² ÈÆ·ÃÀ» È¥µ¿ Àü¹®°¡¾ø½À´Ï´Ù.

Dog training collars provide that control. °³ ÈÆ·Ã ¿Ê±ê ±× ÄÁÆ®·ÑÀ» Á¦°øÇÕ´Ï´Ù. While the intention is normally good- to remove unwanted (but instinctual) behaviors of the dogs for example- the process of training is sometimes incorrect and abusive of the dog¡¯s weaknesses and the tools used for training are not well-adapted to the needs of the dog. ±×·¯³ª ÁÁÀº Àǵµ°¡ Á¤»óÀû - (ÇÏÁö¸¸) ¿¹¸¦ µé¾î, °³µéÀÌÀÇ º»´É - ÈÆ·ÃÀÇ °úÁ¤À» ¿øÄ¡ ¾Ê´Â ÇൿÀ» Á¦°ÅÇÏ°í ¶§·Î´Â À߸øµÈ °³ÀÇ ¾àÁ¡ÀÇ ³²¿ë°ú ÈÆ·ÃÀ»À§ÇÑ µµ±¸¸¦ »ç¿ëÇÏÁö ¾ÊÀº ¿ä±¸¿¡ ÀûÀÀÀ» ÀßÇÏ´Â - °³.

We, humans, often forget that dogs are individuals too. ¿ì¸® Àΰ£Àº Á¾Á¾ °³Àεµ ÀØÁö °³µéÀÌ. Some dogs are very aggressive and hard to control, some are funny and gives us much comfort and joy, others are just laid back and refuse to undergo training and some are naturally fast learners while others are slow learners. ¸î °³´Â ¸Å¿ì °ø°ÝÀûÀ̰í ÅëÁ¦Çϱ⠾î·Á¿î ¸î °¡Áö Àç¹Õ´Â ¿ì¸®°¡ ÈξÀ Æí¾ÈÇÔ°ú Áñ°Å¿òÀ» Á¦°øÇϰí, ´Ù¸¥ ±×³É µ¹¾Æ ´©¿ö ÀÖ°í ÈÆ·ÃÀ» ¹Þ´ÙÇϰí ÇнÀÀÚ´Â ¹Ý¸é ´Ù¸¥ ÀϺΠÀÚ¿¬½º·´°Ô ºü¸¥ ¼Óµµ ÇнÀÀÚµéÀÌ °ÅºÎÇÑ´Ù.

Training collars were invented to gain enough control over the canines, however some people fail to adhere to the basic principles of these tools.

Choke or chain collars, for example, are one of the very first tools invented to help lessen the tension between man and dog. ¶Ç´Â üÀÎ ¿Ê±ê, ¿¹¸¦ µé¸é Áú½Ä, ÇÑ »ç¶÷Àº ¸Å¿ì ù ¹øÂ° µµ±¸ÀÇ ¹ß¸í°ú °³ »çÀÌÀÇ ±äÀåÀ» ÁÙÀÌ´Â µ¥ µµ¿òÀ̵˴ϴÙ.

But there are people who overuse and misuse the choke collars. ÇÏÁö¸¸ ³²¿ë°ú ¿À¿ë ¿Ê±ê »ç¶÷ Áú½Ä »ç¶÷µéÀÌ´Ù.

Some handlers, on the other hand, lack sufficient knowledge on the specific collars that would work well with their dogs. ¹Ý¸é¿¡ ÀϺΠ󸮱â, ±× ÀÚ½ÅÀÇ ¾Ö¿Ï°ß°ú ÇÔ²² ÀÏÇÏ´Â °ÍÀÌ Æ¯Á¤ ¿Ê±ê¿¡ ÃæºÐÇÑ Áö½ÄÀÌ ºÎÁ·ÇÕ´Ï´Ù. For example, the popular choice of collar these days are the electronic dog collar due to its remote access to dogs which provide continuous ¡°training¡± for even when the owner is not around. ¿¹¸¦ µé¾î, Ä®¶óÀÇ ¿äÁò ÀüÀÚ °³¸ñ°ÉÀÌ¿¡ ´ëÇÑ Áö¼ÓÀûÀÎ "ÈÆ·Ã"À» Á¦°øÇÏ´Â °³°¡¸¦ ÀÚ»çÀÇ ¿ø°Ý ¾×¼¼½º·Î ÀÎÇØ Àα⸦ ¼±Åà ¼ÒÀ¯ÀÚ°¡ ¾Æ´Ñ ¶§¿¡µµ ÀüÈÄÀÔ´Ï´Ù. While this may be a popular alternative to old fashioned dog training collars, many people just don¡¯t completely understand its disadvantages.

There are some very mundane reasons as to why collars could be, at times, counterproductive. °Å±â¿¡ ¾ðÁ¦µçÁö ¿Ê±êÀÌ µÉ ¼öÀÖ´Â ÀÌÀ¯·Î ¾ÆÁÖ Æò¹üÇÑ ÀÌÀ¯, ¿ªÈ¿°ú°¡¾ø½À´Ï´Ù. For one, there are people who just don¡¯t take the extra time to check if the collar is fit or not. Ä®¶ó ¶Ç´Â ¾È ¸Â´Â °æ¿ì°¡ Çϳª µé¾î, »ç¶÷ÀÌ ±×³É È®ÀÎÇÏ°í ¿©ºÐÀÇ ½Ã°£ÀÌ °É¸±ÇÏÁö ¾Ê´Â »ç¶÷ÀÔ´Ï´Ù. With improper fitting, the collar could pinch the skin (especially the Martingale collar) and scratch it causing burning spots. ºÎÀû ÀýÇÑ ÇÇÆÃ, ¸ñ°ÉÀÌ ÇǺΠ(ƯÈ÷ ¸¶Æ¾ ¿Ê±ê)°ú °ü±¤ ¸í¼Ò Ÿ°í Âñ·¯ºÁ ¼öÀÖ´Â ¿øÀÎÀÌ ½ºÅ©·¡Ä¡.

These are very uncomfortable to dogs as much as having skin lesions would make someone feel irritated. ÀÌ·± »ç¶÷À» ¸¸µå´Â °ÍÀÌ ¸Å¿ì ÇǺΠº´º¯ µ¥ ¿°ÁõÀ» ´À³¥ Á¤µµ·Î ºÒÆí °³ÀÖ½À´Ï´Ù. The rule of thumb for getting the right fit of collar for your dog is to allow two to three inches gap between the attached collar and the neck. ±ÍÇÏÀÇ °³°¡¸¦À§ÇÑ Ä®¶óÀÇ ¿À¸¥ÂÊ¿¡ Á¡Á¡ ÀûÀÀÀ» À§ÇØ ¾öÁö¼Õ°¡¶ôÀÇ ±ÔÄ¢Àº ÷ºÎµÈ Ä®¶ó¿Í ¸ñ »çÀÌ¿¡ °ÝÂ÷°¡ 2~3ÀÎÄ¡ ¼ö ÀÖµµ·ÏÇÏ´Â °ÍÀÔ´Ï´Ù.

Another reason why dog collars could be potentially counterproductive is that they work on the principle of pain and fear and not really on discipline. ¶Ç ´Ù¸¥ ÀÌÀ¯´Â °³°¡ ¿Ê±ê ¿ªÈ¿°ú°¡ µÉ ¼öÀÖ´Â ÀáÀçÀûÀ¸·Î ±×µéÀº °íÅë°ú µÎ·Á¿ò°úº°·Î ±ÔÀ²¿¡ÀÇ ¿øÄ¢¿¡ ÀÛǰÀÔ´Ï´Ù. Electronic training collars work by sending electronic shocks to the dog wearing it or unpleasant sound that will discourage the dog from barking. ±×°Ô ¾Æ´Ï¸é·ÎºÎÅÍ °³°¡ ¢´Â °³°¡µÈ´Ù ºÒÄèÇÑ ¼Ò¸® ²ªÁö ÀüÀÚ¸¦ ÀÔ°í Ãæ°ÝÀ» º¸³¿À¸·Î½á ÀüÀÚ ÈÆ·Ã ¿Ê±ê.

Even when it proves to be efficient in delivering its purpose- to distract the dog from barking- the results are not as good. ¶§µµ ±×°ÍÀ» Áõ¸íÇÏ´Â ¸ñÀûÀ» È¿À²ÀûÀ¸·Î - ¢´Â¿¡¼­ Á¦°øÇÏ´Â °³°¡¸¦ »ê¶õ -¸¸Å­ ÁÁÀº °á°ú°¡¾ø½À´Ï´Ù. Why? ¿Ö? Because the dog starts to lose its confidence. ¶§¹®¿¡ °­¾ÆÁö´Â ÀڽۨÀ» ÀÒÀ» °ÍÀ¸·Î ½ÃÀÛÇÑ´Ù.

Quick fixes for behavior control are more often than not tempting to use and leads to overdependence to control devices. µ¿ÀÛ Á¦¾î¸¦À§ÇÑ ºü¸¥ ¼öÁ¤ÇÏ°íº¸´Ù ´õ ÀÚÁÖ »ç¿ëÇϵµ·Ï À¯È¤ÇÏÁö overdependence ÀåÄ¡¸¦ Á¦¾îÇÒ ¼öÀÖ´Ù.

Therefore, before one chooses a dog training collar, it is recommended to do your research first so your dog¡¯s comfort would not be compromised. µû¶ó¼­ ÇÑ °³ ÈÆ·Ã ¿Ê±êÀ» ¼±ÅÃÇϱâ Àü¿¡, ±ÍÇÏÀÇ °­¾ÆÁö°¡ ³Ê¹« Æí¾ÈÇÏ°Ô ÈѼյÇÁö ¾ÊÀ» °ÍÀÌ ´ç½ÅÀÇ ¿¬±¸¿¡ °¡Àå ¸ÕÀú ÇÒ °ÍÀ» ±ÇÀåÇÕ´Ï´Ù.
