Info on Dog Barking Collars
Being a dog owner is a great experience but what if you have a dog that
barks too much? If you are having this problem then this might be the
time for you to look into getting Dog Barking Collars.
Some people see this devices as being cruel to the animal but it merely
teaches them to stop the excessive barking. These anti bark collars
are completely harmless and they work to teach your dog quickly that
his or her barking is not acceptable behavior. Of course there are times
when we would want our dog to bark to warn us of danger or to ward off
would be thieves but barking all the time is not nesessary.
If you have come to the decision that is time to get your furry friend
a dog bark collar then you will want to know about the different types
of collars so that you can go home with one you are comfortable with.
One of the most common dog barking collars is one that emits a light
shock when the dog barks so that the dog will learn that when they bark
the collar will give them a light shock to their neck. These electronic
dog barking collars are effective but many pet owners feel that it hurts
their dog.
If you do not prefer the shock type of collar you may want to go with
a citronella dog collar. These collars emit a spray
of citronella when the dog barks. This is a scent that dogs do not like
so it helps them to associate that their barking brings on this awful
smell so therefore they quiet their barking down.
When choosing a dog barking collar you want to take into consideration
the size of your dog. If you have a large dog then you will need to
go with a collar that is large and strong so that it will stay put on
your pooch whereas if you have a small dog you can go with a smaller
and slimmer collar tha is more delicate. You do not want the bark collar
to be to tight as this might choke the dog.
You can buy these types of collars at online stores that will allow
you to return the collar or exchange it if it is not the right fit.
Keep in mind that these collars are only for training your dog and should
not be used for a long period of time.
The 3 Best Selling Dog Barking Collars:
(1) Premier Spray Sense Anti Bark Collar
Eliminate or significantly reduce nuisance barking with this anti-bark
dog collar. The system combines patented Spraylogik technology with
proven behavior-modification techniques, providing an effective way
to redirect pets away from not only excessive barking, but also other
unwanted behaviors such as digging, jumping on the counter, and leaving
the yard. Its patented Spraylogik technology delivers a harmless burst
of citronella spray that interrupts the pet's behavior. Both humane
and effective, the spray works on four out of the five senses; dogs
hear it, see it, feel it, and smell it. Citronella is a unique scent
that most pets don't normally encounter. It's non-offensive to humans
yet unusual enough to distract pets and interrupt the unwanted behavior.
Twice as effective as electric shock, the training process occurs instantaneously
and without pain. Shock and ultra-sonic products attempt to reduce barking
with pain. In addition to being less effective than spray, pain often
increases anxiety and aggression and makes some behavior problems worse.
The anti-bark dog collar can be used with any breed of dog that weighs
6 pounds or more and is at least 6 months old. It is not recommended,
however, for anxiety-related barking unless specifically directed by
a behavior professional.
The anti-bark dog collar system includes a 24-inch adjustable nylon
collar with a quick-snap buckle; an attachable spray device with an
"on/off" switch; a 3-ounce can of stain-free, hypoallergenic
citronella spray; a 6-volt alkaline battery, and detailed instructions.
The system carries a limited lifetime warranty.
(2) PetSafe PBC-102 No-Bark Collar
Curtail your dog's excessive barking with this harmless, easy-to-use
nylon collar. Insert the included 6-volt battery into the lightweight
receiver, and fasten the adjustable collar around the dog's neck. When
the dog barks, the collar senses the vibrations in the pet's throat
and emits a mild static shock and an audible warning beep. There are
6 progressive correction levels, so if the dog barks again within 30
seconds, the next shock will be stronger, though not too strong for
small or timid dogs. For safety, if the dog barks 15 times in less than
50 seconds, the collar shuts off automatically for a period of 3 minutes.
The collar is designed to train the dog, not punish it, and the shocks
are not harmful. According to a Tuskegee University study, adult shelter
dogs wearing the PetSafe No-Bark Collar for 6 30-minute sessions over
a 2-week period showed no long-term adverse effects, and they all reduced
their barking by the second day.
The 2.3-ounce receiver works with dogs weighing from 15 to 120 pounds.
It is water-resistant and not affected by rainy or snowy conditions.
The pure digital signal eliminates interference from stray signals,
and is approved by the FCC. The collar includes PetSafe's limited lifetime
warranty.
(3) SportDOG Rechargeable NoBark 10R Bark Control Collar
Train your dog to stop excessive barking easily and painlessly. The
SportDOG Rechargeable NoBark 10R Bark Control Collar offers PerfectBark
technology that requires both the vibration and the sound of a bark
to trigger a correction, ensuring your dog is never confused by a correction
occurring accidentally. Choose 1 of 3 correction modes that fits your
dog’s temperament: Temperament Learning, Progressive Correction,
or User-Selected Correction modes. 10 correction levels are available
within each mode. If your dog continues to misbehave or disobey, increase
the correction to the next highest level. Choose either tone or stimulation
to train your dog to stop barking. Both methods are safe and harmless.
Monitor the correction level and battery condition using the 3-color
indicator light. The waterproof collar is submersible up to 25 feet,
per NEMA 6P and IP67 standards. A long-life rechargeable battery, a
charger, an operating guide, and a lifetime limited warranty are also
included with the collar.
