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. Excessive barking can cause you problems with your family or your neighbors.
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 Is It?
The citronella bark collar is highly effective. 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. It operates with a small dose of citronella spray that’s shot right in front of your dog’s 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. Because the attention of the dog will be diverted from the object that it was barking at to this new, strange smell, the barking will stop while the dog “investigates” what happened.
With time and practice, the dog will understand that it’s its own barking that’s triggering the release of the citronella smell. It does not harm them but because they have learned this, they are going to start trying their very best to not bark. Because it’s harmless, this type of collar has been gaining in popularity lately. Dog owners like this collar because it goes easy on dogs, yet it delivers the results they were looking for.
Most pet supply stores offer the citronella bark collar and other versions as well. If you want a similar collar, then you can also check out the ultrasound collar. It will not harm your dog either but instead of using a spray of citronella to peak your dog’s interest it uses a high pitched sound that only you dog can hear.
The reason why manufacturers selected a sound so high pitched that humans can’t hear it is so that you don’t have to put up with it in addition to the barking of your dog. That would be just as bad as hearing the dog bark so it would be pretty pointless.
The citronella bark collar is a terrific investment for any dog owner who wants to get their dog to stop all that unwanted barking
