Does Barking Dog Collars Works?
Yes. Some work better than others.
Some control the barking through corrections,
these are barking dog collars. Other anti barking dog collars actually modify the dog’s
behavior and teach the dog not to bark. |
These behavior modification bark dog 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 anti barking collar.
Some barking dog collars are rechargeable, some are waterproof, etc. Below we review the various dog barking colars. Most of the quality no bark collars offered today are either from Innotek or PetSafe. The Innotek bark dog collars are advanced correction and behavior modification collars. The PetSafe barking dog collars are correction only.
Besides anti bark dog collars, 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 taking them out because the bark dog collars 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 they are 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 bark dog collars can break, and are not 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 nauseous chemical which some say does not hurt a dog.
How It Works
The anti barking dog collars are training devices that help reduce nuisance barking. There are two key features of the barking dog collars. 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 collar will automatically shut off for a period of 3 minutes.
