Make Bark Collar Work Effectively
March 2nd, 2010 | 
Author: There are three things you need to make sure sure of when you are putting the anti bark collar around your dog’s neck.
First, you need to make sure the collar is snug. Fitting this barking collar the right way is crucial if you want to have any success. You do not want the collar to be too tight, obviously, because you do not want to choke your dog. Even though you are trying to train your dog through a form of punishment you do love your pet and want him or her to be comfortable throughout the day.
Having said that if the bark collar is not tight enough its sensor will not be able to detect your dog’s voice or vibrations and it will be useless.
Second, if you have a dog that has thick hair or a lot of hair you need to have him or her. Hair is a another barrier to the sensor. Pugs have light hair so the anti bark collar worked great on mine.
I had a lasso dog (very boring breeds I might add, he got dumped on my by my last girlfriend/ fiance) who had a lot of hair and it almost never worked. I had it on him for a whole week and the device never sensed his bark.
If you have a breed that has thick hair bring it to a groomer and get his or her hair cut as low as possible.
Third, you need to make sure the batteries are good. I cannot tell you how many times people I have know, or myself, have used an anti bark collar and the batteries were dead. The battery on the collar is small and the power runs out quick. They usually have a light so you know if it is good or not.
On my Petsafe shock collar it would have two blinking lights as long as the battery worked. When they were in fact dead a red light would come on. Kind I handy I think. Obviously, if there is no power going to the collar it is not going to work very well. Its one of those items that should be really self explanatory but we all forget from time to time.
Follow these three items and your anti bark collar should work the way its designed. To shut your dog up in the middle of the day!

Train Dog to Stop Barking with these Collars
Many people love their dogs but cannot stand when they constantly bark. True, we want them as a guardian, we want them to protect us, alert us of any danger, and let us know if a guy dressed in black is trying to creep into the window. We also want our beloved dogs to tell us when they have to “potty” and need to be taken outside.
Having said that, when barking goes from what I just mentioned to barking all day long, at everything, it becomes a huge problem. When they bark at every little noise they hear (dogs have acute hearing) or person they see or when a guest comes over it gets annoying. And when your neighbors start to get annoyed you know you have a problem.
There are various methods to train your dog. Some view some ways more humane than others. Oh course, by the title of this blog, you know I am referring to anti bark collars. It is one of the best options on the market today.
Contrary to what many people believe these bark collars are not inhumane and do not hurt your dog. I have found for myself that they are very effective at doing what they are supposed to do.
If you are a person who just cannot handle your dog getting shocked I recommend a citronella bark collar. This devices stop your dog from barking by spray a lemon scented spray in the dogs face that he or she will not be able to stand.
Regardless of if they receive a shock or spray these collars will produce effects immediately and stop your dog from ending up in the pound.
Trust me, an anti bark collar will make your dog stop barking immediately. And when I say immediately I mean on the spot. Follow the directions to the letter and it will produce the results you want.
Take the collars off before you and your dog go to bed. If not the anti bark collar will cause a rash. Make sure you apply it again to his or her neck in the morning though.
