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.

I thought she had a terrier at first but it was not.  It was some type of french dog and I can’t pronounce the name.  The dog really is cute.  But the constant yapping makes me want to put a muzzle on that dog.  I wanted to kill it.  And I like dogs.  I just did not understand how he would quiet down, be okay, he came up to me, sat by me on the couch, and then a couple moments later he was barking again.

This dog needs an anti bark collar.  I told her to get it.  I do not care if she buys it at Petsafe or Mill and Feed but she needs to get one and quick.  I called my friend because I knew he had two collars that are not really being used.  I mean he bough two collars at $100 each and maybe used them three times.  I tried to see if she would sell her one of his for half price but he was hesitant stating “he may use it in the future”.  We’ll see about that.

I told her to go to the pet store and buy one immediately.  I told her that the price tag on the no bark collar is going to be at least $130 but that if she calls the manager over and negotiates with him or her she can get it for $100.  Hell, the economy is bad so she should be able to get it for $80 but that may be pushing it.

Anyway, if you have a dog that barks at everything you need this gadget.  It really teaches them to behave.  They will certainly get the message quick after a few harmless yet attention getting shocks that they will not be able to bark at everything.  That is just no going to work anymore.

I hate to say it but if you have a small dog you should definitely get one.  They work better than big dogs because they have less mass.

When you have family or friends coming over there is nothing worse than an out of control barking dog.  You cannot talk over them and they can make visits very unpleasant.  Do yourself a favor and get a bark collar.  My anti bark collar was one of the best investments I ever got for my dogs.  You need to do the same thing.
