Does the Barking Dog
Collar Work?
Yes. Some work better than others.
Some control the barking through corrections,
these are barking control collars. Other Anti
Bark Dog Collars actually modify the dog’s
behavior and teach the dog not to bark. |
These 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 barking dog collar.
Some barking dog collars are rechargeable,
some are waterproof, etc. Below we review the various
different dog bark collars. Most of the quality
dog bark collars offered today are offered by either
Innotek or PetSafe. The Innotek dog bark collars
are advanced correction and behavior modification
collars. The PetSafe dog bark collars are correction
only.
Besides anti bark 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 fazing them out because the dog bark 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 may sound strange, but they are available.
Basically a reservoir filled with citronella is
placed on the front of the collar, and when the
dog barks citronella spray is projected through
a tube in front of the dogs nose and face. These
collars can break, and are not suitable for little
dogs, and require repeated refills of citronella.
Do they work? Yes, though they're probably not as
effective as an electronic collar.
How It Works
The Barking Dog Collar is a training device that helps reduce nuisance barking. There are two key features of the anti bark dog collar. The first is a mild warning sensation triggered by your dog’s first bark. The second feature occurs when your 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 your dog’s successive barks. Each successive bark will increase the correction level if the bark is within 30 seconds of the previous bark. If your 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 your dog barks 15 times or more in a 50 second period the collar will automatically shut off for a period of 3 minutes.
