There are three different methods currently in use as no bark collars for dogs. All of them work, but there is some debate as to whether these collars are ethical to use. 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. Because dogs really don’t like the smell of citrus, this can be very effective as a no bark collar. 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.
Ultrasonic/Sonic Dog Collars
Ultrasonic or sonic dog collars will emit a high pitched tone if the dog barks. This tone is similar to the dog whistle sound. Humans can’t hear this sound, but dogs can, and they soon learn to stop barking so that the sound goes away. Again, experts and trainers don’t feel that these collars are unethical, as there is no pain or injury to the dog. Once again, there is no pain involved – it’s just a bit annoying for the dog. Note: This type of no bark collar is considered the least effective, as the dog can become used to the sound over time.
Electronic No Bark Dog Collars
These collars work by delivering a small electrical shock to the dog’s neck whenever it starts barking. It isn’t truly dangerous, and can be compared to the shock you can get from static electricity. However, there are a lot of people that think that this type of no bark collar is unethical. The main reason why these people consider this collar unethical is that it actually causes a physical stimulus that can be felt by the dog. That’s why some animal lovers think that’s bad. But does it work? Yes, it does; so condiser it an option if your dog tends to bark too much.
To make a dog behave and reduce excessive barking, you can choose between spray collars, sonic collars, or electrical shock collars. Most people have no problems with spray collars or sonic collars, but the idea of an electrical shock makes them think that shock collars aren’t good for dogs. However, none of these methods are harmful or dangerous.
