Choosing the Right Bark Collar
Your dog will not just stop barking.
Using an anti-bark collar would sound like a cruel form of punishment. However, the evolving nature of collar technology has changed with years. Resulting in design and innovation of standard quality and comfortable anti bark collars.
How do you choose the right type of Dog Anti Bark Collar?
The collars are not designed the same way. The differences make some better than others. While others may typically be appropriate for specific types of dogs. We have three types of anti-bark collars;
● Static pulse collars
● Spray Collars
● Sonic collars
The effectiveness of all these collars varies with your type of dog. Let's take a closer look at each of the collar types and see what each of them has to offer.
Static Pulse Collars
Whenever your dog barks, this type of dog bark collars emit a static pulse to your dog. Most of the static pulse collars come with adjustable auto correction levels which are necessary to protect your dog. Some of them also have a warning beep that sounds every time your dog starts barking. This type of collars are also the most effective types although most people might consider them a painful ordeal for the dog. Which is not the case, because your dog will not be collared for the wrong reasons.
Spray Collars
Spray collars emit an unpleasant smell to your dog's snout once the dog begins barking. The spray is usually citronella or lemon based. The only limitation poised to these anti bark collars is that the dogs could learn to tolerate the smell. Some dogs can go to the extent of falling in love with the smell. Note that you should have the spray cans replaced frequently. Therefore, the maintenance cost should factor in can replacement and battery replacement.
Sonic Collars
Sonic collars emit an ultrasonic sound which only your dog can hear. When the dog begins barking, the collar activates this sound, and therefore the dog stops barking. The dog stops barking because the ultrasonic sound is irritating and unpleasant. Sonic collar technology could also be placed at particular strategic spots that the dog tends to back more.
