Anti Bark Collar Guide

Author Archive

An anti bark collar is something many dog owners have quite recently become interested in.  Over the last five years these items have grown exponentially in popularity.

Why?

To make a long story short, they work.  If you are a person who is tired of hearing your dog yap all day, no matter who cute he or she is, then you need to purchase one of these devices.  There is not another training device that I know which has proven more effective than anti bark collars.  Time and time again they have shown to be the quickest way of stopping excessive barking.

Dogs bark.  That is not expected nor is that something new.  Nobody gets new puppies expecting them to never bark. What is not expected is constant non stop barking that seems to never end!  There are some breeds out there who will bark at just about anything and depending on where you live (like in a busy neighborhood) it can last seemingly all day long.

What does an anti bark collar do?

It administers a safe form of punishment  to your dog whenever their barking is deemed out of control.  This can be via tiny shock, citronella spray, or an ultrasonic wave that only they can hear.

Do these bark collars work?  Absolutely.

You will see results from using them in less than two days.  Quickly your dogs will find out that they cannot bark loud and non stop as they are used to.  True, they might be depressed at first.  Who likes not being able to do whatever they want??  But, they will quickly get over it and adjust.

I promise that almost any anti bark collar you see on the market (in the US) have been tested and approved.  If they were a safety threat to your dog then they would be banned.  These items are sold at every major national pet retail store and would be promptly taken down if they were defective or it was proved they “hurt” your dog.

This was the first anti dog bark control collar I ever bought and it was totally worth it.  It uses Nano technology and is the smallest training collar I have seen.

These collars have two sensors on them.  They sense sound and vibration and know when your dog is barking out of control.

The “Petsafe Dog Bark Control Collar” comes stocked with a Temperament Learning System which makes these anti bark collars able to work across different breeds of dogs.

Keep in mind that there are two models available depending on which size dog you have.

There is the “PetSafe Deluxe Little Dog Bark Control Collar” and the “PetSafe Big Dog Bark Control Collar.”

The models are virtually the same but one is for smaller dogs while the other is for the more larger breeds.

One would be excellent for use dogs the size of pugs and terriers.  The one is good for dogs the size of golden retrievers (those breeds do not bark that much though) or German shepherds.

Petco makes excellent anti bark collars that train your dog not to bark by the use of zapping, or shocking, him or her when the barking gets to become excessive.

The sensors are wonderful at detecting whether your dog is barking loud or if he just barks a couple times.

Keep in mind that dogs are smarter than we give them credit for.  I found that my two dogs learned that the device would only go off after at least three very loud barks.  So they learned to bark just two times and quickly shut their trap.  I’m okay with that.

If me and my wife are at sleep, during night, and someone is trying to break into my home all I need is two barks to warn me.  Otherwise, in the middle of the day, I do not need my dogs to tell me every time someone passes by my house.

Petco Dog Bark Control Collars are a great buy.  You can usually get them for around $100.  A definite must buy if you want a little peace and quiet. Petsmart has every sort of collar you could want and as far as I know they are offering $5.99 flat rate shipping on orders of $60 or more
