These days, it’s not just you that your dog is annoying, but your neighbors too. His incessant barking goes on forever as soon as you walk out of the room. What is a concerned owner supposed to do? First of all consider that barking is a normal reaction for a dog and could be occurring for many reasons. However, it’s the incessant barking that is formed as a habit to get treats that has to be broken.
Naturally, the thought of bark collars come to mind, but keep in mind, there are three different kinds to choose from. Regardless of which method you choose, the principle is the same. When the dog barks, the collar is activated and a form of correction ensues, stopping the pattern of barking. The three different types of collar emissions include citronella spray, tone correction and stimulation. Your dog will not need to wear these collars forever, just until he’s trained properly. However, don’t throw them away or sell them on Ebay as your dog may need to be re-trained again in the future.
First mentioned was the citronella collar. This collar will shoot out a spray of non-harmful but unpleasant smelling citronella in front of the dog’s face interrupting his barking stream. Many pet owners report excellent results with this type of deterrent. The tone emitting collar will let out a loud sound to distract the dog and will shut off when the dog stops barking. This collar also has a remote control that will allow the owner to turn it on manually when they hear the dog barking. Lastly, is the stimulation collar that shoots out an electrical charge when it senses the dog barking. They are considered safe to the dog and different charge levels can be chosen. Increased levels only work when the dog continues his barking.
These collars can be bought in local stores as well as online stores. Shop around for the best buy and fit for your dog to help correct but not punish your dog.
Many good brands of bark control collars are available for your pets. You can choose from any of these popular brands: PetSafe, KT Pet Supply, Dog Fence, SportsDog,Tri-Tronics and so on.

There are 3 different types of No Bark Collars 1)No Bark Shock Collars: These types of Bark Collars provide a small shock to the dog when they bark. Many have variable stimulation levels and some have progressive stimulation which will increase the level of the static shock if the dog disregards the initial correction, Almost all No Bark Collars are activated by the sound the dog makes when it barks but the better models also include a Vibration Sensor which works in concert with the sound sensor so that other dogs barking do not activate the collar. 2)Spray Bark Collars: These types of Bark Collars are equipped with a can of pressured spray which activates when the dog barks. The spray is available in various scents and can be an effective, depending on the demeanor of your dog and how often they bark. Much like Shock Dog Bark Collars, not all of these collars are equipped with Vibration Sensors, so take your time when choosing the right collar. 3)Ultrasonic Bark Collars: These collars emit an ultrasonic correction that only your dog can hear. Considered the least of effective of the 3 types of Bark Collars. Of course the most effective one is the one that is best suited for your dog, depending on it size and how often it barks. Take the time to research the proper model and you will find whats best for you.
Dogs bark. That is a fact of life that’s not going to change anytime soon. It’s their special way of communicating. A dog may have a soft, harmonious bark. Then there are the dogs with the shrill, high-pitched bark that seems to go on forever. No matter what type of bark your dog may have, some people don’t appreciate being kept awake by the bark of either type. That’s when effective bark control is necessary. A very new product is on the market today. It is a painless and safe way to stop your dog, and even your neighbor’s dog from barking. It is a remote control device. All you need to do is press the button. The device gives off a high pitch sound that only dogs can hear. As soon as the dog hears this, he will stop barking. The bark control device can be used for the neighbor’s dog so the distance of this device travels. Another bark control device that is very similar works with an ultrasonic signal, also not heard by human ears. This device simply needs to be turned on, left in the house, and when the dog starts to bark it automatically gives off the signal. The dog hears it, and bark control is safely and painlessly in effect. This can also work for dogs outside and nearby. There are also dog collars made for bark control. When the dog is wearing the collar, and begins to bark, one of the three correction methods go into play. There are collars that use tone, stimulation and even a citronella spray. The tone collars emit a sound similar to the remote control device. The stimulation collars emit a static electrical impulse. Citronella spray collars emit an unpleasant spray of citronella right in front of the dog’s face. This spray is harmless to your pet. All of these collars will only work on the dog who is wearing it, not any other dogs that may be nearby. There has been some controversy regarding the stimulation collars, but they are still considered safe. However, considering all of the other choices of bark control, this collar isn’t even needed.
Special dog collars are designed for specific purposes like training, safety, or medical needs. Examples include GPS collars, anti-bark collars, reflective collars for night walks, and flea collars for pest control.

It is designed to train a dog, not punish it. Therefore, the shocks are not strong enough to cause harm.

PetSafe also offers an alternative collar, that uses a harmless spray instead of a static shock as a bark deterrent.
