Anti Bark Collar
I promise you anti bark collars really do work. They work better than most people even realize. If you have a dog that yaps and barks a lot then an anti bark collar is absolutely necessary. And I am not talking about dogs that casually bark. That is normal. I am talking about dogs that bark at any and everything. A person passes your house and they bark. Kids get off the bus and they bark. People come to your house and they bark. It can become overwhelming.
I have read and seen many ways to stop dogs from excessively barking and the collar works best. An anti bark collar will start having an effect on your dog immediately, if used correctly. I did another test the other day. My aunt has a small dog that yaps at everything. Cutest dog in the world, without a doubt, but barks nonstop somethings. I let her borrow my anti bark collar. We put it on him last Sunday. At first I thought that it wasn’t working because we rang the doorbell and he started to bark and the collar did not work. I had forgot, which you should remember too, that those anti bark collar don’t immediately go into action as soon as you put them on your dog. They scan the dog’s bark first. It will take several barks for it to go into effect. Once it did my aunt’s dog got zapped a few times. He learned very quickly that barking at everything was not going to fly anymore. Her dog, like most, was pretty depressed for a while. He went and hid in his doghouse for a little while. But they get over it quick and adjust.
There is nothing inhumane about anti bark collars. The shock is not made to hurt your dog. Its more of an uncomfortable feeling. Just enough so that they know something is up. It does not hurt them. But dogs get the message quickly. One thing that a lot of dogs do after wearing the anti bark collar is adjust their bark and tone. Most anti bark collars are made to shock the dog after three barks and they have to be somewhat loud to trigger it. So many dogs will bark two times and then stop. This is fine. I have no problem at all with dogs barking just not over and over again without let up. Its not fun. Ever tried to do work at your house and your dog starts barking out of control. Its really annoying.
I also want to remind everyone who uses an anti bark collar to take the collar off at night before everyone goes to bed and when you are playing with your dog. You do not want your dog to never bark just not at everything that moves. And if you leave the collar on your dog at night he or she may get a rash. Just remember to put the anti bark collar on your dog in the morning when you wake up. You would not believe how many people forget this. They never do it consistently as I stated in another post about forgeting to put the anti bark dog collar on. It will not work if you do it like that. You are going to be wasting your time. Everyday you need to put the collar on as soon as you wake up. Do it for one to two weeks and you will not need the collar any longer. Your dog will be quiet as a pindrop.
