Bark control collars should only be used as a last resort, second to surgically de-barking the dog, which in my opinion is cruel and unfair to the dog. It should be used when your dog will not stop barking no matter what attempts you have made.

It is crucial that before resorting to this, or as you are actually using this collar, that you are making every attempt to keep your dog amused. Most dogs bark out of boredom when they bark for long periods of time. If you are leaving your dog outside alone all day, with no toys or companions, this is most likely the reason for it barking! Buy it some toys, such as a kong toy or give it an empty ice cream container without the lid, and slide it along the ground. Yes, it will be very noisy when your dog plays with it, but this is better than it barking! Or you could just get a dog-safe stuffed or squeaky toy if you have the money! And remember to keep your dog fed, watered, and with access to shelter and warmth or freedom from draughts!

Remember: bark control collars are very uncomfortable for the dog, whether they release a bad citronella smell or whether they shock. If you care for your dog at all, you will make every attempt to fix the problem with minimal collar use!

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.

How to Get Effective Bark Control For Your Dog?

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.
