In this article I am going to discuss the best anti dog bark collars and which you should choose to help stop your dog barking.
As you may well know, a barking dog can cause many problems in and around the home and can even lead to criminal proceedings if not dealt with satisfactory.
Luckily there is help in the shape of anti bark collars and the most common types are ultrasonic, shock and spray collars.
Each work differently to the next and their effectiveness also varies between each model.
The first collar in your search for bark control comes in the form of the Shock Collar.
This collar works by responding to your dogs bark by releasing a static bolt of electricity which is just enough to give your pet plenty of warning before it becomes painful.
The shock is designed to teach your dog quickly that it is in his or her best interest to refrain from barking as this is what is causes him or her the discomfort.
I would not recommend this type of collar for small, temperamental dogs, especially if they are of a timid nature.
The next collar in this discussion is the Ultrasonic Dog Bark Collar.
This collar works by sending out an ultrasonic sound the moment your dog starts to bark.
The sound can only be heard by the dog and becomes irritating and so stops your dog from barking.
This collar does not harm your dog or cause pain in any way although it can be a startling experience for the dog.
I have found that results for this collar are very much dependent on your dogs ability to learn and may be more effective in some dogs than others.
This collar would suit the more alert, stubborn dog that needs that extra push.
The final collar I am going to discuss is amongst the most favored amongst pet owners and this is the Citronella Anti Dog Bark Collar.
This collar works by sensing your dogs bark and then spraying the dog around the head area with a gentle blast of Citronella spray.
This collar is designed to target your dogs ultra heightened senses and ultimately stops your dogs barking in its tracks and is a very painless experience for the dog.
I would recommend this collar for most types of dogs, large or small but more for the excessive barking dog.
In this article I have discussed the types of anti bark collars and how they work.
I have my own preferences and my recommendations are my own personal opinions.
Choosing the right dog bark collar is very much dependent on the type of dog you own and how excessive your is.
Which ever collar you choose, remember that these collars are only a tool and further work and consistency will be required by you to achieve the best possible results to stopping your dog from being an annoyance.
