Consider This When Buying An Anti Bark Collar

By:


Are you fed up with constant barking at late hours of the night? Even the most experienced dog trainers sometimes have to face the fact that regular anti barking training isn't working and a bark collar has to be brought in. A bark collar is not exactly the thing that dog owners would prefer to train their dogs with, but it's effective and gets the job done.

Because each dog is different and reacts differently, it pays to spend some time evaluating the different types of bark collars there are. In order to give you a head start, we present you here some choices that people prefer when they buy a bark collar.

The Sonic Bark Collar

The sonic collar or ultrasound collar is the favorite of many dog owners everywhere. The sonic collar detects when your dog is barking and then reacts by emiting a very high pitched sound. The sound is meant to distract the dog from the source of the barking and make him wonder what's going on. The sound that the collar emit is so high pitched that humans can't hear it at all, although dogs can hear it without a problem. There are some dog owners that believe that the sound can be harmful because it's so high pitched, but despite what you see in movies, you don't suffer just because a sound is high pitched, like a high pitched opea singer. Anyway, the sound only lasts as long as the dog keeps barking, and if the sound makes the barking stop, therefore it can't last long.

Spray Collar

This type of collar can detect barking and counteracts it by spraying the dog's muzzle with citronella smell whenever the dog barks. Citronella is annoying to a dog's taste. With time, the dog will figure out the relationship between the citronella spray and his own barking, reacting accordingly. The problem with this type of collar is that the smell of citronella sometimes stays on your dog's nose well afte the barking has stopped. Some dogs might believe that the punishment still continues and might not make the connection with the barking. If your dog's sense of smell is specially susceptible to citronella, then you'd better get a different type of bark collar.

Shock Bark Collar

The shock collar is very well known for its effectiveness, as well of being infamous among some dog lovers for its method of correction. The collar's method consists of detecting the dog's barking and then reducing it by administering small electric shocks to the dog's neck. The electric shock is painless to dogs, but some people think it can be cruel.
