Barking Dog Collar

Which Is The Right One For Your Dog?


A good barking dog collar might be the perfect solution for those owners that have a dog that won't stop barking, yet don't have the time or patience to be consistent with other training methods,

The beauty of these collars is that they are are designed to do the training for you. All you have to do is put it on your dog and let it work, and the variety is bigger than you might think.

Which barking dog collar is right for you? We've listed here the 3 most effective types to help you decide...

Spray Collars…

These are great little collars that work on one simple principle. If the dog barks, spray citronella in front of his nose.

Dogs don't like citronella much, so you can imagine what a distraction this is from whatever he was barking at. Plus, dogs have really sensitive noses, so a burst of citronella in front of his nose would be like spraying skunk scent directly up your nose. Now that's a deterrent!

A smart dog gets the picture after just a couple blasts of citronella. Don't bark, and you don't get a noseful. After a couple of days with the new barking collar, you can go back to his old collar again. Once in a while you might have to break out the citronella collar for a little bit of reminder training.

Ultra Sonic Collars…

If you don't want to bother refilling the spray collar with citronella and water mixture, you might want to try an ultra sonic collar. It really works on a similar principle. When your dog barks he gets some unpleasant conditioning.

In this case, it isn't unpleasant to the nose, it's unpleasant to the ears. These ultra sonic collars emit a sound that's too high pitched for humans to hear, and very unpleasant for dogs to hear. It has the same effect as scratching your fingers down a chalkboard. It doesn't harm your ears at all, but gives you the willies to the core.

A couple of barks with an ultra sonic collar around his neck and your dog will become as quiet as a mouse in no time. You won't hear anything but a bark or two, followed by a whimper, and then the beauty of silence.

Bark Control Collars…

With this particular barking dog collar, the unpleasant sensation isn't related to the ears or the nose, but an irritation in his neck.

When your dog barks, the bark control collar senses the vibrations in his neck and sends a mild current into his skin. This current surprises your dog, creating a great distraction. The more he barks, the more surprises, and he quickly gets the hint to stop barking if he wants those unpleasant sensations to go away.

As with both the spray collar and the ultra sonic collar, once the training is done, your dog can go back to his normal collar. If he needs a little bit of retraining you can bring out his bark control collar again.

Bark control collars are a wonderful invention for the family on the go. It allows you to train your dog to stop barking even when you're not able to be at home training him. If you're really busy, consider picking up a barking dog collar.

In closing, because all dogs are different, it’s important to remember that one collar might work well on one dog, but not the other. Yet considering that many barking dog owners don’t have the time or patience to be consistent when it comes to the use of training techniques, these collars offer a safe, humane way to teach your dog to stop their barking.
