What is your opinion of these new Sonic Collars that use sound and not electricity to train a dog?
Full Question:
Hello Mr. Frawley,I wanted to know what your opinion on the product below was, is it worth buying.
The new Pro Trainer Plus is an electronic pet training aid that uses sound, not shock, to teach your dog or cat to behave. The Pro Trainer Plus gives you four different training tones. Three obedience tones are provided to teach your pet specific behaviors such as Sit, Come, Heel, etc. A rapidly pulsating, irritating "NO!" tone is provided to deter barking, jumping, digging and other unwanted pet behaviors and may even be used very effectively for house training.
The Pro Trainer Plus is unique in its very humane yet, effective approach to dog obedience training. Unlike an electronic dog-training collar, the Pro Trainer Plus is hand held. No electronic training collar is required. Only the Pro Trainer Plus combines the positive response techniques of clicker dog training with a powerful negative stimulus to quickly get your pet's attention when it is misbehaving. Even cats can be taught to come on command and to instantly stop clawing, chewing and entering off limits areas. The Pro Trainer Plus represents a significant advance in cat and dog training providing the pet owner with a quick, easy, effective and inexpensive pet training aid.
Ed's Answer:
I will preface this answer by saying that I have never worked with one of these collars. I will also say that I would never spend any money on one to see if they works, because I do not think that will work on the type of dogs that I train. In fact I don't think they will work on 98% of the dogs out there. Maybe if you have a very soft temperament dog it may work.
I will say that I got an e-mail yesterday from a lady who had one of these collars. Her dog worked well with it in the back yard, but when she took it out of the yard and into the park it would not listen. She did say that it scared hell out of the birds in the park and the other dogs that were running around seemed to find it interesting.
