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.

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.
