The Dog Bark Collar: Keeping Your Dog Quiet
Posted by tk in Uncategorized on 11-03-2010
Barking is a natural aspect of a dog’s behavior, and they do so either in defense, fear or offence. It is when barking becomes too loud or happens at very inconvenient times that it becomes a real problem. You may have this same problem with your own dog which may keep you and your family up all night with its constant barking. The intensity and frequency of barking can be as varied as the different dog breeds there are, with some dog breeds having a louder bark than others; still, it’s your duty to do what it takes to make sure your dog doesn’t bother the people around you. You can optto train your dog yourself, pay someone else to train it for you, or just get a dog bark collar
A dog bark collar is perhaps the best way to significantly lessen excessive barking, if not to stop it altogether. There are three different types of anti-bark collars to choose from – the ‘Citronella’ dog bark collar; ‘electronic shock’ collar (or E-collar); and the ‘ultrasonic’ dog bark collar. Because all collars are effective at reducing barking, it’s up to you to decide which one you want to buy, depending on what you feel will be more effective for your dog’s temperament.
The Citronella Spray Collar
This collar is designed to shoot a small dose of citronella smell in front of your dog whenever it barks. The citronella oil is quite common in products where a strong smell is needed, like certain perfume products. This type of scent is disliked by all dogs, and therefore, makes the citronella dog bark collar highly effective.
The Electronic Shock Collar
This is another effective option to stop a dog from barking continuously. It is electronically wired to deliver a mild yet harmless shock when a dog barks too much, and features several shock levels. The shock increases in intensity every 30 seconds if the dog doesn’t stop barking: probably because the first one was too mild for a dog’s skin to be felt. If the dog continues to bark, this collar will deliver a slightly stronger shock that will grow in intensity at 30-second intervals between consecutive barks up to the collar’s highest level.
The Ultrasonic Dog Bark Collar
This dog bark collar emits a high-pitched whistle that is inaudible to the human ear, but certainly audible to dogs which have an extremely sharp sense of hearing. This collar’s correction method is effective, yet doesn’t add more noise to an already noisy situation.
If you decide to make a little investment on a dog bark collar, you’ll make a difference in everybody’s quality of like. The collar is not meant to eliminate your dog’s barking completely, as it’s a vital part of your dog’s life, but it will make your dog a much more likeable pet.
