There are three different methods currently in use as no bark collars for
dogs. They all give good results, but you might be wondering if using them is
ethical. As a dog owner, you should know about the no bark dog collar you want
to use on your noisy pet.
Spray Collars
Some no bark dog collars work by emitting a spray of citrus smell if the dog
barks for a while. Dogs don't like this smell, so they will stop barking in
order to avoid it. These collars often come with a design that makes them give
out a hissing sound before they release the citrus smell, so a dog that stops
when it hears the sound can avoid the release of the smell. These no bark
collars are considered ethical by experts, as there is no pain involved, just a
mild annoyance for the dog.
Sonic No Bark Collars
Ultrasonic or sonic dog collars will emit a high pitched tone if the dog barks.
The sound is similar to the one of a dog's whistle. Humans can't hear this
sound, but dogs can, and they soon learn to stop barking so that the sound goes
away. Dog trainers and veterinarians see no problem with these collars, as they
aren't harmful. Once again, there is no pain involved its just a bit annoying
for the dog. To get better results, don't use this collar for long periods of
time, as dogs can get used to the sound and just ignore it.
Electronic No Bark Collars
These collars give the dog a small electrical shock when it barks. The shock is
not harmful or painful, imagine the static shock you get when you handle
fabrics. Due to its name, people think that this type of collar is cruel and
unethical and shouldn't be used on animals. This one isnt just an annoyance; it
physically does something to the dog. Some people dont like that. But does it
work? Yes, it does; so condiser it an option if your dog tends to bark too much.
To deter a dog from barking excessively, you can choose from no bark collars
that use citronella spray, sonic or ultrasonic sounds, or electronic shocking.
Citrus spray collars and sonic collars are usually considered ethical, however,
electrical sock collars are not universally accepted because some people think
that they are painful to dogs. However, all three methods are perfectly safe for
dogs.
no bark collars are a great way to reduce excessive barking that isn't related to your dog's health. Although most people don't have a problem with them, some of them think shock collars are unethical. Nevertheless, all no bark dog collars are perfectly safe.
