Why your dog barks?
It is part of their normal and natural communication and behavior .Dogs bark for a number of reasons. It is important that you know the reason why he does so that you can immediately address the message he is trying to get across. Most of us want our dogs to be "watch dogs" and alert us to anything unusual. But dogs can also bark inappropriately. A responsible dog owner cannot
let his or her dog become a nuisance to others.
Chronic barking puts both the dog and the
owner at risk of complaints from disturbed
neighbors. |
A behavior modification no bark collar is the preferred tool, as the goal for all dog owners is to teach their dog not to bark and to be able to remove the anti barking collar.
Usually, an anti barking collar is rechargeable, can be waterproof, etc. Below we review the variousbark collar devices. Most of the quality dog bark colars offered today are offered by either Innotek or PetSafe. The Innotek dog bark colars are advanced correction and behavior modification collars. The PetSafe dog bark colars are correction only.
Besides dog bark collars, some companies still offer bark collars which use ultrasound to control the dogs barking. Collars or devices which emit ultrasound are not specific. Although the ultrasound will be heard by the barking dog, so will it be heard by all other pets in the home, which were not barking! Ultrasound collars are still available, but many retailers are fazing them out because the dog bark colars are much more effective. For many retailers the ultrasonic collars, because of their relative poor success rate have resulted in a high return rate. So the retailers are no longer offering ultrasonic collars.
There are also citronella collars available. This does sound strange, but they are available. Basically a reservoir filled with citronella is placed on the front of the collar. When the dog barks a citronella spray is projected through a tube toward the dogs nose and face. The harsh chemical serves as a correction when a dog barks. These collars can break, are not small for little dogs, and require repeated refills of citronella. Do they work, probably not. But even if they did work, it is a complicated system spraying a noxious chemical which some say does not hurt a dog. If you can believe that and can bring yourself to spray citronella into your face, then consider using it for your dog.
How It Works
The Bark Collar for dogs is a training device that
helps reduce nuisance barking. There are two key
features of the anti barking collar. The first is
a mild warning sensation triggered by your dog’s
first bark. The second feature occurs when your
dog barks again within 30 seconds of the first bark.
This will be the first and lowest level of correction.
There are a total of 6 levels of correction that
are triggered by your dog’s successive barks.
Each successive bark will increase the correction
level if the bark is within 30 seconds of the previous
bark. If your dog does not bark for at least 30
seconds the receiver resets itself. Along with each
correction there will be an audible beep. As a built-in
safety feature, when your dog barks 15 times or
more in a 50 second period the collar will automatically
shut off for a period of 3 minutes.
