If you want to train your dog to stop barking at everything he/she sees you should give some thought into investing into an anti bark collar.  When you use these collars correctly and consistently for several weeks you can effectively train your dog to stop barking.  After a couple days you will notice that your house is a lot more tranquil and that your nerves are a lot calmer (especially when the mailman or school bus pulls up by your house).

How does these devices work?  They are basically designed to produce a “shocking effect” when your dog barks more than several times and reaches a certain noise level.  These collars will not shock your dog after every little bark and will not shock your dog if he/she barks but in control.  The design is meant to give your dog a mild shock, and I want to put emphasis on “mild” to everyone who may thing that this technology is inhumane, when they start to bark really loud and totally out of control.

The premise of the shock is to give your dog a negative reaction to the action he/ she is currently taking.  Animals have a very short memory and all to often when they do something wrong the punishment is too late giving the dog or the owner very little lasting benefit.

This type of discipline is immediate and quite frankly not pleasant at all for dogs.  They will learn, and I might add very quickly, to control themselves.  It really only takes one day for them to get the message.  They might be depressed or confused as to whats going on the first day but they will quickly make the adjustment.

Anti bark collars will give you very fast results but for these results to be long lasting you are going to need to continue to use it for several weeks.  Some dogs learn quickly and some are really stubborn so the time needed to fully train your dog will vary.  If your dog has a thick coat of hair you also may have to shave him/ her.

When used correctly you can really get some peace in your home.  Most people who own dogs love them but having a dog in residential areas and cities where there is a lot of activity can be challenging.  The dog is loved but not what can be the incessant barking. Anti barking collars are a must have if you fall into this category.  Highly recommended you obtain one and use it.
