Is An Electric Collar A Communication Tool For Dog Training?

No, an electric collar is not a communication device for dog training. It has no such value, any more than if a dog has an itch. An itch isn't a communication. Nor is a burp. Nor is passing gas. Neither is a leash or collar of any type. Nor is a harness, a dog bed, or the wind blowing. 

Stop using this way of describing how dog tools work. 

What is “Communication”? Here is the Merriam-Webster’s definition: “a process by which information is exchanged between individuals through a common system of symbols, signs, or behavior; exchange of information.”

The difference matters.

If you still aren’t understanding: time to do some studying.

Plan accordingly.
