Shock Collars For Dogs
Sometimes it's difficult to determine what's humane and what's just plain cruel in my opinion shock collars for dogs are cruel. I really believe that the it is the owber who should wear the shock collar. It's no secret that Americans like pets. All sorts of them actually. From goldfish, to miniature K-9s, to fluffy cats, to guinea pigs, to ferrets, to exotic birds, to aggressive dogs that will attack upon command. We spoil these domesticated animals on a daily basis. In fact, we make them members of our families. But, what about the more aggressive ones, and the pets that need to roam outdoors? How can we keep control of their actions at all times? Clearly we need to, because we're the ones who're going to be held responsible. Some may believe shock collars for dogs are the answer - I do not. Negative reinforcement does tend to work on most living creatures.
Some pet owners will tell you that shock collars for dogs are completely inhumane, and others will argue that they're necessary. Hmm, this is a tough one. There's no doubt that I wouldn't want to wear one if I were a K-9. Then again, what if your dog decides not to respond to your command? This could get really hairy quick. I'm not just talking about a dog running out in front of a car. What if your pet attacked someone? Maybe a small child. Then would you consider shock collars for dogs in order to keep them in their place? Well, it would be irrelevant at that point. No one should have a dog that they cannot control or ever leave any dog alone with a child! The animal would be put down for his/her actions, and that's if the parent of the child didn't already kill it himself.
It may come down to the pet you choose. New-age devices like shock collars for dogs are becoming more popular for one simple reason. Owners want to keep their pets safe and control their actions. There's no way of knowing what your animal might do on instinct. Pit bulls and poodles that owners have trusted for years, have attacked toddlers out of nowhere. Maybe it's a face they were making, or the fact that they're looking them in the eye on their level. Things like this can set your K-9 off but there are no excuses.
