Why the dog barks?
Canine behavior problems such as excessive barking can result to neighborhood disputes and violations of animal control ordinances. Therefore, an excessively barking dog can become a big problem. However, continual barking for long periods of time is a sign that the dog has a problem that needs to be addressed. 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. To really understand how to use the barking dog collar it is important to understand why dogs bark. . |
Behavior modification collars are preferred, as the goal for all dog owners is to teach their dog not to bark and to be able to remove the barking dog collar after they have been trained..
Some barking dog collars are rechargeable, some are waterproof, etc. Below we review the various different barking dog collars. Most of the quality anti barking dog systems offered today are offered by either Innotek or PetSafe. The Innotek barking dog collars are advanced correction and behavior modification collars. The PetSafe barking dog collar is for correction only.
Besides anti barking dog products, 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 a barking dog device such as this is 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.
How It Works
The Barking Dog collar is a training device that helps reduce nuisance barking. There are two key features of the Anti Barking Dog Collar. The first is a mild warning sensation triggered by the dog’s first bark. The second feature occurs when the 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 the dog’s successive barks. Each successive bark will increase the correction level if the bark is within 30 seconds of the previous bark. If the 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 the dog barks 15 times or more in a 50 second period the barking dog device will automatically shut off for a period of 3 minutes.
