Barking is the only way your dog has to express its emotions, be it fear, agressiveness, or hunger. It is when barking becomes too loud or happens at very inconvenient times that it becomes a real problem. You may have this same problem with your own dog which may keep you and your family up all night with its constant barking. The intensity and frequency of barking can be as varied as the different dog breeds there are, with some dog breeds having a louder bark than others; still, it’s your duty to do what it takes to make sure your dog doesn’t bother the people around you. You should discipline your dog; or best of all, go for a dog bark collar. Out of all the options available, the best way to reduce dog barkng is by getting a dog bark collar for your pet. Pet supply stores will usually offer you three basic types of anti bark collars: these are the citronella bark collar, the electric or shock collar, and the ultrasound or ultrasonic collar. Because all collars are effective at reducing barking, it’s up to you to decide which one you want to buy, depending on what you feel will be more effective for your dog’s temperament. The Citronella Spray Collar This dog bark collar is designed to automatically spray the dog with Citronella each time it barks. The citronella oil is quite common in products where a strong smell is needed, like certain perfume products. Just like they dislike perfumes, dogs dislike the smell of citronella, which makes the collar quite effective. The Shocking Collar This collar is also known for its effectiveness in reducing barking. This collar functions by delivering a mild electric shock to the dog’s neck when the dog barks. The first bark triggers a mild shock which gradually intensifies if the dog’s barks again within 30 seconds. If the dog continues to bark, this collar will deliver a slightly stronger shock that will grow in intensity at 30-second intervals between consecutive barks up to the collar’s highest level. The Ultrasonic Collar The ultrasound or ultrasonic collar corrects the dog’s barking by emiting a sound that only dogs can hear. This collar’s advantage is that the sound it uses is harmless to the dog and doesn’t add more noise to the dog’s barking. By spending a bit on a dog bark collar, you’ll be contributing to the peace and quiet of the place you live in. Your dog’s barking won’t go totally away, as it’s part of its nature, but it will become much more tolerable.
