A dog Training collar is used to assist in teaching your dog certain behaviors. Choke chains, head collars, shock collars, and grip collars are all used to modify your dog's behavior (either positively or negatively) or gain control over a particularly stubborn, strong, or possibly dangerous dog. A Tracking collar helps locate your dog in the event it gets lost, and some even consider reflective collars tracking collars, as they help locate and identify your dog, whether you're just out walking at night, hunting, or he gets lost amid a group of dogs that look similar. :) Hope this clears things up!!

A tracking collar usually is a radio transmitter, you track them with a reciever. Some are GPS based, so give you a better fix. A training collar will punish the dog, usually for barking by vibrating, spraying citronella, or by zapping the dog.

A dog tracking collar is used to pinpoint the dogs exact location when lost or stolen. I have never heard of a dog training collar but I assume it's pretty self-explanitory. Here, we use 'Harness' this is device in which a dog can learn to walk properly without being hurt or punished. It gives the human complete control of the dog without harming their pet.
