Everyone who owns a dog should make sure they have taken the time to train their dog properly. A dog should be calm and not jump up on guests when they come in the front door. Most importantly, a dog must not bark so loudly that it bothers people who live with you or around you. Too much barking, specially at night, might make you the most unwelcome person in the neighborhood.
Even the owner of the dog might find that it’s impossible to concentrate on a task or enjoy a movie if the dog keeps barking; this situation calls for a citronella bark collar.
What’s A Citronella Bark Collar?
The citronella bark collar is a very effective collar that gives both short and long term results. It is an excellent choice for people who are looking for an anti bark collar that doesn’t involve pain or electrical shocks as a method for teaching dogs not to bark. This collar’s mode of operation doesn’t create any pain or discomfort for the dog at all. Instead, a small spray of citronella shoots out from the collar in front of their nose.
As soon as they smell the citronella the dog will have curiosity to find out what the new odor is and where it is coming from. This will make them immediately stop barking and can keep them amused for quite some time, or at least long enough until they have forgotten they were barking in the first place.
With time and practice, the dog will understand that it’s its own barking that’s triggering the release of the citronella smell. The smell won’t hurt the dog, of course, yet the dog will know that the only way to keep that smell away is by not barking when not necessary. This collar has been selling well because it’s harmless and painless for dogs. Dog owners like this collar because it goes easy on dogs, yet it delivers the results they were looking for.
The citronella bark collar can be found in almost every pet supply store, among other types of anti bark collars. A similar collar, which is also becoming popular among dog lovers, is the ultrasound collar. It’s yet another collar that won’t hurt your dog, but instead of spraying your dog’s nose with citronella, it will emit a high pitched sound that only dogs can hear.
Dogs are able to hear high pitched sounds that we as adults cannot and so you do not have to worry about having to put up with this noise every time your dog barks. This would make the whole situation even more unbearable.
Another advantage of the citronella bark collar is that it’s relatively cheap and doesn’t require you to invest a lot of time, unlike other anti barking choices.
