Stop Barking Collar
There is nothing worse than a dog barking, except for when its your dog barking and annoying your neighbors. There is the added stress that your neighbors will complain and that complaint can result in an unwanted visit from animal control. And if your dog is really bad then it can lead to your dog being removed from your home.
Dogs bark for many reasons, usually its because there is a factor in their life that is bothering them, and the only way they can express that is to bark. Boredom, separation anxiety, excitement, and stranger alert are the main reasons your dog will bark excessively. Finding out what is causing your dog to bark, is the best way to solve the barking once and for all.
If you are considering using an anti barking collar as a training method for your dog there are a few things you should know first. Stop barking collars are designed to help correct your dogs behaviour, they should not be used as every day apparel. You should not use a anti barking collar if your dog is neurotic, as the shock from the collar cause cause him even more problems.
There are two main types of stop barking collars, the first is a static collar, these provide the dog with an unpleasant sensation around there neck when they bark. The other is a citronella collar, this sprays a citronella sent every time the dog barks. Dogs are not a big fan of the citronella smell so they soon associate the bad smell with there barking.
A stop barking collar is not a inhumane as you would think. The anti barking collar does not have any electricity in it, and the shock that your dog receives is that of a vibration that makes it unpleasant for him. The shock will not send your dog whimpering in pain, it will only give him a little fright. Stop barking collars, if used correctly can be a very good way of correcting your dogs barking habits.
