Anti Bark Collar Guide

Archive for the ‘Citronella Spray Collar’ Category

Many people just cannot bring themselves you use the traditional “shock” collars on their dogs.  They feel that is is too cruel.  I have told people many times that these collars are not inhumane but it falls on deaf ears for some.  Some go as far saying your “dog will not respect you anymore.”  Who is whose pet?

Here is an alternative.  You can use the anti bark spray collars instead.  These collars do not shock your dog when he or she starts barking out of control.

Rather, it sprays a scent in its face.  This scent is called citronella.  Dogs hate this.  A dogs nose is extremely sensitive.  There are varying arguments about exactly how much greater their smelling ability is than humans be it is generally understood a dog can smell 100,000 times better than humans can.

I am sure you can appreciate how sensitive their nose is with all those sensors and nerve endings.  Ever try to touch your dog’s nose.  They hate it.

Now dog’s hate the scent of citronella.  They literally cannot stand it.  Spray a burst of this stuff in their face and they stop dead in their tracks.

That is exactly how an anti bark spray collar works.  Much like the shock collars it has a sensor on it that can tell when your dog is barking loud.  When that happens this device is triggered and its shoots some citronella odor in your dog’s face.  I think it overloads his or her nose for a couple seconds.

They stop barking immediately. Many have found that these collars work great and are better than the various other dog training collars used.  From the reviews I have heard they are equally effective and a great alternative to the ones that shock.

The only complaint I have heard about these anti bark spray collars is that citronella gets all over the place.  I have only hear that from a few people and I think its exaggerated.

These collars do not spray tons of citronella in the air.  Its just a quick little burst.  Enough to do the trick.  If you are not looking for it then you can barely see it.  I doubt it “gets all over the place.”

Give this collars a try.  I have not heard a single story where the people who bought said it did not work.
