Who Should Buy a Dog Bark Control Collar

Some breeds like hounds and Beagles are known for their excessive barking. Certain personality traits may also be more prone to barking. If your dog’s barking is interfering with your daily life or the life of your neighbors, a dog bark control collar might be a good solution.

However, before you jump to a bark collar, be sure to take the time to understand why your dog is barking in the first place. Barking is natural for dogs. It’s a form of communication, and they can communicate a number of different messages and signals through their bark. Alarm, aggression, boredom, and frustration are a few of the most common reasons. You might want to try some alternative methods of bark correction before you jump to a dog collar. If your dog has anxiety, a dog anxiety vest may help,  or you might want to consider trying a dog calming collar.

However, dog bark control collars can be effective for even the most persistent of barkers, especially when you’ve run out of other options. They work well for dogs who bark while their owners are at work or bark at neighbors and other stimuli that are close by. Dog bark control collars work best when used along with rewards training. For example, put the collar on the lowest setting and wait for your dog to bark. When he does, he’ll get a spray, sound, vibration, or shock. Reward him when he stops barking. It’s important to reward him every time he stops so he understands the difference between the reward of silence and the correction of barking. He’ll learn to repeat the behavior that gets rewarded. With time, the collar’s presence may be enough to remind your dog not to bark and correction becomes unnecessary.
