To a dog, barking is the only way it has to communicate its emotions, such as fear, hunger or loneliness. But when barking becomes too frequent or too loud, both owners and neighbors can begin to resent the dog. If you’re reading this, chances are you have had or currently have this experience, where your best friend keeps everybody awake at night. The intensity and frequency of barking can be as varied as the different dog breeds there are, with some dog breeds having a louder bark than others; still, it’s your duty to do what it takes to make sure your dog doesn’t bother the people around you. You have the options of training your dog, having someone train it, or simply get a dog bark collar. The dog bark collar is the most cost effective solution for reducing the barking of your dog until it’s no longer a problem. There are three different types of anti-bark collars to choose from – the ‘Citronella’ dog bark collar; ‘electronic shock’ collar (or E-collar); and the ‘ultrasonic’ dog bark collar. Because all collars are effective at reducing barking, it’s up to you to decide which one you want to buy, depending on what you feel will be more effective for your dog’s temperament. The Citronella Spray Collar This collar is designed to shoot a small dose of citronella smell in front of your dog whenever it barks. The citronella smell is a strong one and it’s also used in the production of perfume products. This type of scent is disliked by all dogs, and therefore, makes the citronella dog bark collar highly effective. The Shocking Collar This collar is one of the most well known ones. It is electronically wired to deliver a mild yet harmless shock when a dog barks too much, and features several shock levels. The shock increases in intensity every 30 seconds if the dog doesn’t stop barking: probably because the first one was too mild for a dog’s skin to be felt. The collar will continue to increase the intensity of the shocks until it reaches its highest level, at which point it will shut down to avoid harming the dog, who is probably trying to communicate something urgently. The Ultrasonic Collar This dog bark collar emits a high-pitched whistle that is inaudible to the human ear, but certainly audible to dogs which have an extremely sharp sense of hearing. The benefit of using this collar is that it is designed to transmit a harmless ultrasonic whistle to distract a dog and control its barking. Investing in a dog bark collar for your bark-happy, canine pet is one way to demonstrate your commitment to a quiet and peaceful neighborhood. Your dog’s barking won’t go totally away, as it’s part of its nature, but it will become much more tolerable.
