Important Features of Dog Bark Collar

  • Rechargeable vs disposable battery. Most collars that have sound, vibration, and shock modes rely on rechargeable batteries that require a charging station or use a USB cord that can plug into a standard adaptor. Citronella bark collars typically have disposable batteries rather than rechargeable, though there are some exceptions. When deciding, you’ll need to factor in the overall cost of the collar as models with disposable batteries may cost more long term.
  • Collar size and adjustability. Some collars aren’t intended for small dogs, those under 10 or 11 pounds, while others are suitable for dogs 6 to 120 pounds. Collar sizes are usually listed by inches and/or dog weight. Fit is important, especially for models with electrodes that need to make contact with the skin to work correctly. Some collars come with electrodes of varying length to accommodate dogs of different coat thicknesses, which can help with size issues too.
  • Automatic safety or shut off. Collar with automatic safety or shut off stop all correction after a certain period of time. That way, if your dog gets panicked or distressed, the collar doesn’t keep correcting him and increasing his distress.
