Utilize The Anti Bark Collar To Stop Problem Barking

I can remember how surprised I first was when I heard about shock collars being used to minimize dogs barking. What I didn’t understand at the time I first heard about shock anti-bark collars was that it’s not an electric shock, but rather a slight static shock that gently jolts the dog, and causes him to stop barking.

Anti bark collars have come a long way since the early days of the static shock collars, thankfully. Now there are many different categories of collars, and plenty to choose from within each category.

The Static Shock collar has come a long way from the earlier collars. Even though there have been a lot of improvements with this collar, they are generally speaking the least favored type of collar. When activated, the static shock collar sends a quick little static shock into the dogs throat. The collar is usually sparked by the vocal chord’s vibrations but you can run into problems when the collar is activated by the noise of a dog barking. That can lead to your dog receiving a jolt if the neighbor’s dog barks, which seems a bit questionable to me.

A comparable collar is the sonic dog collar. This collar emits a very high frequency sound whenever the dog starts barking. The sound is of such a high frequency in fact that it can’t be heard by people, only dogs. One of the most humorous uses for this type of device I have seen on line was the sale of a bird feeder that actually is a device that emits this sonic sound. Supposedly it is the way to controlling your neighbors dog’s barking! Just hang it in the tree, pointed towards the neighbors house and dog, and whenever your neighbor’s dog starts barking it lets off a sonic sound that only the naughty neighbor dog can hear. I can see the benefit of staying on good terms with your neighbor but toning down his dog’s noise level.

One of the more used collars in use these days is the citronella bark collar. This is also usually set off by the sound of the dog barking, or vibration of vocal cords. Instead of giving a jolt, or emiting sonic sound waves, it simply sprays liquid out of a small container on the collar that surprises the dog. Most dogs are not too fond of being sprayed in the face, and so they quickly learn to connect their barking with the unpleasant feeling. So the citronella spray collar can be very useful to dog owners.

A handy device for training dogs, the remote controlled collar can be used to modify your dog’s behaviour more than just stopping him from barking. With the remote collar, you can set it off whenever the dog shows undesirable behaviour–whether it’s chasing the cat, or digging in the garden. Whatever the problem, just give a zap and the collar will let the dog know that what he’s doing is unacceptable.

Incessant barking is not normal for any dog. If your dog suddenly begins this bad habit you can be fairly certain that something is setting it off and in most cases you should be able to adjust his surroundings and help stop him barking. However, if left too long, barking can sometimes become a habit and no matter what you do you can’t stop the dog from barking. If that’s the situation, and barking has become a habit for your dog, I’d recommend you look into trying one of the different anti bark collars.
