Dynavet’s Shock Collar – Wireless dog training hits the FCC

I’m not really sure that training your dog with electric shocks is a good idea.  Sure, you want to prevent your pet from attacking others.  But using electricity seems a bit, well, cruel.

Either way, DYNAVET passed a shocking collar through the FCC today.  The device allows dog owners to administer shocks with a remote control.  Users can control the length and intensity of shocks, depending on the dog and/or training conditions.

Again, the benefits and efficacy of shock training are unclear – I’d get your vet’s opinion on this before you strap your dog up.
