Training Your Dog To Stop Barking

Now that we understand why our dogs bark and can eliminate any influence we have on our dogs barking problem, we must be able to adequately train our dog to stop this unwanted behavior. Bark Control Training can be a tricky problem to solve even for experienced dog trainers. However, with a little patience and perseverance you can do it.

Dog Training Collars

Many times you will need additional help with your training program. This help usually comes in the form of a bark collar. A bark collar, also known as, bark control collar, anti bark collar and no bark collar is a device that emits a correction when your dog barks. These collars detect the vibration in your dogs' throat and provides an immediate correction to help stop the nuisance or excessive barking problem.

Type Of Bark Collars

There are several types of bark collars that you can use help train your pet. These collars are broken down into 3 main categories.

Shock Collars
Shock collars are the most effective bark collars on the market today. They work by emitting a gentle shock to your pet when he/she begins to bark. These collars work on big or small dogs and are generally effective with only a few training sessions.
UltraSonic Bark Collars
UltraSonic Bark Collars release a high decibel pitch when your dog barks. The noise is un-heard by humans, but is quite annoying to your dogs' sensitive hearing. This correction works well for most dogs, but is not effective on deaf or hard-of-hearing pets.
Spray Bark Collars
Spray bark collars also known as citronella bark collars emit a strong scent, usually lemon or citronella, which is annoying to your dogs' strong sense of smell. These products are only effective if your dog has a mild problem. Often times a dog will get used to the smell if the training goes on for an extended period of time.

Side Effect Of Bark Collars

Many people think that bark collars are in humane or cruel, but they are actually quite safe. The electric shock emitted by the dog shock collars is more of an irritant rather then a pain inflicting device. It is meant to startle your dog, not inflict pain. In humans you can correlate this to static electricity type of shock. The UltraSonic and Spray collars are also quite harmless, but we dont recommend you use the Spray Bark Collars on hounds or other dogs who rely on their sense of smell to perform hunting or other duties.

The main side effect to a bark collar is the desired effect. Your dogs' barking problem will become a thing of the past. Bark Collars work and if you want to provide quick relief to your dogs' behavior issues, no bark collars are an excellent choice.
