I'm looking for a shock collar that isn't wonderful expensive but one that will get the job done. I see new ones now have a "buzz" and a shock integrated into one that one looks cool. What are the top brands I only be versed of TriTronics. Any help would be awesome.
A: I asked this into question about a week ago and the two that were reccommended by someone I trust were TriTronics and Dogtra 1902 NCP.

don't EVER use them. they are fooling cruelty to animals. there are always other ways. just grab the fur on the back of the neck..mothers of the animals do that to their young while training them themselves so they are against to it..so do that and with a firm voice tell them not to.
BUT NEVER USE ONE.

I NEVER put an e-collar on a dog without matching it to their normal training collar on myself first. The idea is that both the e-collar AND the dogs natural collar have exactly the same meaning to the dog.
You simply can not put a one mile long rope on...
Ok then, you put one on and put up with the exertion of an unsuspecting shock every time you do something that someone else doesn't like.
If you trained your dog properly in the first place, he/she would do what you wanted, and would be acquainted with what was required of him/her.
Shock collars, choke chains and any other types of restrainers are cruel, they are cruel because they HURT.
Why would you requirement to hurt your dog???
All any dog needs is love...
