Dog Bark Collars Are Good Training Tools
It seems that almost everyone has a solution to the problem of a dog that can’t be quiet. Some people suggest spraying the dog with a garden hose; others think a quick slap on the rear with a newspaper will stop the noise. Both of these approaches may work but they also are cruel to the animal. With citronella bark collars the dog stops barking without feeling any pain or discomfort.
The premise is really quite simple which is likely why it has proven so effective. Unlike a loud child it’s difficult, if not impossible, to reason with a loud dog. You can tell them to be quiet but to them that means nothing. You have to demonstrate that the behavior is unacceptable and it needs to stop. Citronella bark collars are designed specifically for this and many pet owners are praising them, claiming they stopped their barking dogs in just days.
Most pet stores have an entire section devoted to this pet owner’s problem. There you’ll find all sorts of books, products and tips on how to stop your dog from barking. You’ll also find a selection of citronella bark collars. Choosing one should be based primarily on the size of the dog. Although they are sold in kits with instructions, it doesn’t hurt to ask the salesperson for a brief tutorial on how citronella bark collars work.
Once home you have to ready the collar for use. This involves filling a small section of the collar with citronella. The citronella bark collars all come with a supply of citronella that can be added to the collar as it is used. Don’t try and refill the citronella when it’s on the dog as this will result in both you and it being covered with it.
