Shock collars come in a range of sizes and types. DogGear team has put in hundreds of hours determining which ones are right for you and your dog. Finding the right shock collar is important and many times frequency of use, range and size of the transmitter impact our recommendation. Read on to find the best shock collar in 2021 for your dog!

Best Dog Shock Collar

E-Collar Remote Dog Training Collar

– Top Pick

Instead of a shock, this collar delivers a tapping sensation (similar to vibration), so it is also a less intense training method than a regular shock collar. People who use this collar love the easy-to-hold remote (which is great for in the cold), and they are also glad to buy a U.S. made product. A few customers complain that the collar no longer works or charges after a few months.

E-Collar Remote Dog Training Collar. The receiver is small and specifically designed for smaller dogs, and the transmitter is also small and easy to handle. This collar comes in different ranges and the option to buy a second collar.

IQ-PLUS Remote Trainer

– Most Adjustable

Dog trainers who use (and repurchase) this collar are impressed with the consistency–the intensity of the shock is the same across each new collar. Other users speak to the durability of the collar and the receiver, saying that it still works like new a couple years down the road.

An added bonus is the two-hour quick charge.
Some users dislike the way the collar itself is made, since it is not a buckle, and others have found that it stops working within a few months.

IQ-PLUS Remote Trainer. Dogtra is worthy to be the best-known training collar out there. This shock collar is our top pick for small dogs because the collar and receiver are both completely waterproof.

ARC Remote Training Collar System

– Expert Choice

The DogGear team loves this collar for its subtle appearance and the fact that you can expand it to a two-dog system.

Some customers are disappointed with the stimulation level, especially for hard-to-train dogs.

ARC Remote Training Collar System. This collar is ergonomically designed to contour to your dog’s neck. It also has adjustable modes, consisting of the “Nick” and “Constant” modes, as well as a pager option.

iQ Series Remote Trainer

– Contender

We like this collar because it is consistent and reliable, plus the receiver and transmitter are both lightweight–a bonus for both you and your dog! The nick and continuous modes can be adjusted to get the response that you would like.

A good thing to know is that the indicator light is not LED, so it can be hard to see in sunlight.

iQ Plus Remote Trainer. This shock collar has a 500-yard range and, if you purchase extra collars, the remote can be used on up to 3 dogs at a time. It has four modes: nick, continuous, vibrate, and beep.

Fieldmaster 1 Dog LCD Training Collar

There’s also an LCD screen to display what level the collar is set at in any of the three modes. Some dog owners comment that the collar itself is comfortable for their dog. We also like that, for larger dogs, this collar also provides the stimulation that other collars just don’t offer.

Fieldmaster 1 Dog LCD Training Collar. Again, we love Dogtra because they simply have the best training collars. This one has a half-mile range, with a fully waterproof collar, receiver, and transmitter.

Cons

The downside some customers have noted is that the battery has stopped working after a few months.

Large E-Collar Remote Dog Training Collar

Another easy-to-hold, round remote is great for use in the cold. Some people who have used this collar note that it no longer works or charges after a few months.

Dog Training Collar

People who live in warmer climates like the material of this collar since it will not get too warm when it’s on the dog (like the plastic of some other collars does). We also love the keypad for preventing accidental shocks!
