The bond between farmers and their faithful working dogs is celebrated in Hunterville by a statue of a huntaway farm dog. Strong and versatile, with a loud, deep bark, huntaways are New Zealand’s most common farm dog, and are invaluable on sheep farms.

There are some points to take into account before using a shock collar.

It is important to consider how a shock collar works. First, it monitors the frequency of your pet’s vocal chord vibration. If it gets too loud or too high, it responds by administering a small, brief shock to your pet.

What happens when the shock happens is that your pet feels a small and very brief sense of discomfort. It isn’t actually painful for the pet. Some compare it to the sense that you feel if you get a static electricity shock.

You should know what size of collar to buy before you buy it. Use a tape measure to get an accurate measurement of your animal’s neck. If you don’t have one of those, get a string or ribbon and wrap it once around the animal’s neck. Then measure that length with a ruler. Collars generally come in three sizes: Small, medium and large.

Always begin with the lowest setting on your pet’s new collar. Most collars do come with a range of settings that allows you to modify the level of shock that will be administered to your animal. If you start at the lowest level, you can increase it as you go depending on your needs.

Don’t consider the shock collar to be a permanent accessory for your pet. Use it only as long as it is necessary, that is, until your pet behaves the way you want.

Once your pet has been trained, it should always associate the unpleasant behaviors with the unpleasant effects of the shock collar. If your pet backtracks into bad behavior, you can reinstate use.
