Super Hush Puppy HP 2 Progressive Sonic Bark Collar Review
The Super Hush Puppy, HP 2 Progressive Sonic Bark Collar is an electronic dog training collar that utilizes sounds within the human range of hearing. Instead of using electric stimulation, ultrasonic tones, or liquid sprays, an audible tone allows trainers to hear exactly when the collar activates, and at what intensity. Unlike other forms of electronic dog training collars, there is no mystery as to when the device discharges. Users can rest assured that there is no pain or injury to the animal, and the lack of a liquid discharge ensures that there will be no mess associated with use.
This collar senses when the dog is barking through the use of a trainer-adjustable sensor. This allows the trainer to tune this collar to their particular dog, ensuring a minimum of false triggers such as other nearby dogs barking, or environmental noise. Additionally, this collar utilizes a revolutionary progressive intensity in its audio correction. The duration of the sonic correction is initially one half a second. The duration of the correction increases incrementally until the correction has a duration of three seconds. The collar will continue to discharge correction at this level until the dog ceases barking for at least thirty seconds. Progressive correction has been shown to be a particularly effective training method.
As with other quality electronic dog training collars, the unit is light weight and weather proof. Since the form of correction utilized is sonic in nature, one collar can be used for almost any dog, whether they are a small 15 pounds, medium 50 pounds, or large 150 pounds. The size of the collar allows even toy breeds to wear it with ease, but the tone that is emitted is effective on all breeds and sizes. The collars rechargeable batteries can run for hours, enabling your dog’s training to continue without your presence, whether you are at work for the day or on a weekend road trip.
