I worked in cardiology. We use electricity quite a bit in treatment. I went calculating Joules (which is a measurement of electricity). The most common tazer works on 0.3 Joules while this collar works on 0.11 Joules (calculated by using the 7v 16mA battery shown to go into the unit). Which translates into the e collar is emitting almost 40% of the energy used by a tazer to bring down a 200+ lb person on a 5 lb yorkie (which is 2.5% body mass of a person).
This is still a significant amount of Joule. I think there are probably better ways of training a dog. I have read trainers found the clicker method (mentioned by another poster) to be a very effective training method. |
