Barking Dog Collar: Stop Dog Barking the Safe and Humane Way
January 7, 2010 by Dog Lover
Filed under Stop Dog From Barking
Probably the easiest and fastest way to train your dog not to bark is with a barking dog collar. The idea behind these collars is simple. When your dog barks, give him something unpleasant. He’ll start to associate the barking with the unpleasant thing and he’ll quit barking. Generally, these collars work within the first couple barks. It doesn’t take your dog long to figure out that if she just stops barking the irritation goes away. There are a variety of collars on the market. All are great products. You just need to choose which one is right for you and your dog. Here’s a list of the most effective types on the market.Spray CollarsDog’s don’t like the smell of citronella. So, with this type of collar you fill the collar with a mixture of citronella and water and put it on your dog. When she barks, the collar sends a fine mist of citronella directly in front of her nose. It can be rather comical watching your dog shaking her head and trying to get rid of that awful smell. Of course, the comedy routine lasts only a few moments as she figures out that it’s her bark that’s causing the horrible smell and just stops barking. Ultra Sonic CollarsThis type of barking dog collar saves you the hassle of filling the water and citronella vial of the spray collar. It does basically the same thing as the spray collar, only instead of affecting the sense of smell it causes a high pitched sound that dogs can hear but don’t like.The reaction most dogs have to the ultra sonic collar is one or two barks, followed by a muffled whimper, and then silence as they figure out their bark is causing the evil noise.The sound doesn’t hurt your dog’s hearing in the least. It has the effect that fingernails on a chalkboard has with humans. The sound doesn’t hurt their ears, but it cuts right to their core and sends shivers down their spine.Bark Control CollarsThis is the last type of dog barking collars. As with the other collars bark control collars cause irritation every time your dog barks. The vibrations in her throat set the collar to work and it send out a mild current that surprises her.After a couple of these surprises, she doesn’t want to bark anymore. Most bark control collars have settings on them, so make sure you start at a low setting and only go as high as you need to go, to change her barking habit.Once the barking behavior has changed you’ll be able to replace the bark control collar with your dog’s normal collar. Once the habit of not barking has been established she’ll probably be fine.If she does relapse, you may need to do another training session with her to remind her of the unacceptable barking behavior. To do that just replace her bark control collar for a bit and she’ll stop barking again.All of the above bark control collars are ideal if you’re very busy and don’t have the time to teach your dog not to bark. Not only are these collars safe and humane, they will work for you whether you’re at home or not.

What Is the Best Brand of Bark Collar to Stop My Dog From Barking? Are There Other Methods That Work Better?

My dog is driving me insane. I’ve heard that collars that increase the intensity with the number of barks don’t work well because they just teach the dogs to bark only two or three times. I want to stop it completely!
Bark Collar – A Present for Pixie

I’ve put up with it as long as I can, as long as my nerves will let me. You see, I have a problem, and It may not seem like a huge problem to you, but it’s slowly ruining my life. I’ll start from the beginning. One afternoon, I came home from work, my kids greeted me at the door, and I could smell the delicious dinner that my wife, Joanne, had waiting for me. It seemed like a great day, just like every other day. We sat down to dinner shortly after I arrived home. We were all sharing stories about our days, enjoying a great chicken fried steak meal, when I heard it. The sound that would soon drive me to insanity. It was a yappy, high pitched barking coming from outside. “What is that?” I asked my family. My youngest daughter Julie gleefully answered, “Oh that’s Pixie, daddy. The Fosters’ new puppy. She is soooo cute. ” The barking continued through dinner, but I said nothing else. That night, I got into bed after a hot shower and gave my wife a kiss. We said our good nights, and I let my drowsy head fall to my pillow. When my head hit the pillow, it was like flipping a switch. The barking started again. The only way I can describe it is a High pitched, ear piercing YIP YAP YIP YAP. It sounded like this dog’s tail was on fire. I hoped that this Pixie would soon get used to her new home, and stop all that yapping. I put the pillow over my head, and lay awake for several hours before I drifted off. The alarm clock went off in what seemed like minutes after I fell asleep. Now, you have to understand, my days start very early, I work long hours, so sleep is important to me. I dragged myself out of the bed, and threw on a pair of slack, and a shirt. I was like a zombie that day. I received several, meant to be funny, comments about how I must have had a long night. It wasn’t a great day, and to top it all off, it started all over again as soon as I fell into bed that night. Now it’s been two weeks. I’ve been sleep deprived for two weeks. During this time the Fosters have put up a dog fence, but nothing to keep Pixie from barking. This morning I handed my boss my daughters spelling test instead of the file I’ve been working on. This dog is messing with my life. What Pixie doesn’t know, though, is that I got a present for her. On my way home from work I picked up a brand new dog training collar for her. I got the best shock collar I could find. I tied big red ribbon around it, and left it on the Fosters’ front porch. Now, I’m lying here in my cozy bed, and what do I hear? Nothing. An electric collar… Why didn’t I think of it sooner. If you have an annoying dog keeping you up at night, I strongly recommend buying a bark collar.
Petsafe Bark Collar Is an Excellent Method on How to Teach Your Dog How to Control Their Bark
December 15, 2009 by Dog Lover

If you’re having trouble with managing the barks of your dogs, then you have two great solutions available. You can buy either a birdhouse or a dog bark collar. Both are truly effective. Otherwise, they won’t be selling like hotcakes in the market today. However, they also have their own differences. Knowing where the dissimilarities lie will make it easier for you to decide which one is more ideal for your situation.
Why They Are Similar
The birdhouse and the bark collar, both from Petsafe, offer excellent methods on how to teach your dogs how to control their bark. These devices send off ultrasonic waves, which will be sufficient to surprise or annoy the dog for a while. Either way, your pet will stop barking to hopefully end the sound.
As the process continues, though, your pet will soon be able to connect the high-pitch sound to his or her bark. Thus, it won’t take long before he or she learns to bark only when necessary or at a more controlled decibel.
There’s no need to fret about the neighbors. Not one of the humans would be able to hear the sound because it’s too high for your hearing. However, since dogs have sensitive ears, they will be able to pick them up.
You can also adjust the correction levels of the devices. This is necessary to keep up with the learning capabilities of your pets. You really cannot expose your dogs to the same high pitch sound even if they already know how to manage their barks. If nothing has changed, it would be difficult for your pets to know what really causes the sound.
Where the Differences Lie
Though they share in methods and correction levels, there are still quite a number of differences between birdhouses and dog bark collars. Topping the list is their design.
Birdhouses are, well, shaped like small houses that you can display right into your garden or perhaps mount on a rock. You just need to keep in mind that their height is not more than five feet from the ground. They can detect barking sounds that are within their 50-meter range.
Simply put, any kind of dog would be able to hear the high pitch sound once he or she barks. It doesn’t matter if it’s your pet or your neighbors’. So if you’re irritated or bothered by the dog next door, you’re going to use this. You are also going to need this if your neighbors are already annoyed by your dogs.
The downside of birdhouses is that you can never bring them to your travel. They are also not ideal for indoors. Worse, since they can be set off by other dogs, even if your dogs are not barking, they would still be able to hear the sound.
If you want something more personal, you can get a dog bark collar instead. As its name suggests, this one just needs to be strapped into the neck of your dog with the use of its adjustable Quickfit system. Moreover, Petsafe dog bark collars can hear only the sound produced by your own dog.
Collars are also more portable, so you can bring them anywhere you and your pets go.
How to Stop Dog Barking Without Using a Bark Collar

One of the biggest problems dog owners face is how to stop dog barking. They bark at night, they bark at anyone that comes near the house, they bark to get your attention, and sometimes they bark just to hear themselves bark. Unfortunately, barking is one of a few ways that a dog can communicate with you and with other dogs. While body language is the number one communication tool for dogs, barking appears to be a close second. There are methods to decrease your dog’s barking, and in some situations stop your dog from barking, and they are simple to learn and only require patience and consistency on your part.
Before I delve into the most effective methods to stop dog barking, it is important that you understand that your dog could quite possibly have situational barking bred into him. If he is from a Guard Dog breed, like a German Shepherd, Rottweiler, or a Doberman, he is going to bark when someone approaches you. If he is from a Hunting Breed, he is going to bark in certain situations. There really isn’t much you can do about it. What we are more concerned with here, is the dog that barks just to hear himself talk, or the dog that barks at you or other household members in an attempt to get his way.
There are two easy methods to train your dog not to bark, and neither involves shock collars or anything of the sort. Your relationship with your dog is based on mutual respect, and one of the first things you need to do is to make sure she understands who the alpha dog, or pack leader, is. YOU are supposed to be the alpha, and if she thinks she is, you have a serious problem, The first method you can use to stop barking will not only stop it, but will also show her who the alpha is. When your dog is barking, for whatever reason, don’t say a word. Approach your dog and gently, but firmly, grasp her snout. Many dogs will try to back away or wriggle free. Use your other hand to hold her collar, and continue to grasp her snout until she stops trying to get away from you. Once she has stayed calm for a few seconds, let go of her and give her a little light praise. Don’t make a big deal of it, just tell her she is a good girl. If she starts barking again, repeat everything above. You are not only stopping her from barking by grabbing her snout, you are showing her who is in charge.
The other method to stop barking works well when your dog is trying bully you, or get something from you, by barking at you. In this case, you are going to ignore him. You are not just going to just ignore him, you are going to cross your arms, turn your back on him, and not acknowledge his presence in any way. Make a big deal out of it. Continue to do this until he stops barking, even if it takes a few minutes or so. This method requires patience and consistency. If you give in, even once, you will find yourself back at square one, as you have only taught your dog to bark louder or longer to get your attention. If you follow the two methods as I have outlined, you should be able to eradicate most, if not all, problem barking from your dog’s behavior.
Stop Dog Barking – The Best Solution Is a Citronella Bark Collar
December 6, 2009 by Dog Lover
Filed under Stop Dog From Barking
If your dog is trying to alert you to something, it is unrealistic and unfair to discourage it from barking; this can have dangerous consequences. A Citronella Bark Collar is the most effective and humane solution to stop diagnosed problem barking, along with training.
You want to know how to stop seemingly continual dog barking if you are dealing with an uncontrolled and excessively barking dog. It’s important to understand the facts surrounding the problem before deciding on a solution.
A dog does not bark without reason. You want to determine if the barking is excessive, and if it is, why? Certain breeds of dogs have a propensity to bark more than others but that alone does not answer the questions. Barking could just be vocalizing hunger, or asking for some needed exercise or a bathroom break. Attention-getting barking arises from internal distress. Barking intended to sound an alert arises from a passing person, other dog or vehicle as the case may be.
Barking that starts after you are gone for 20 minutes or so and continues incessantly could be separation anxiety, a psychological condition that requires some extra attention. The family comprises the dog’s pack. Expect your dog to bark and maybe not stop barking if left alone for long periods of time.
Anxiety stress is not pleasant for your pet and homeopathic remedies to reduce stress and anxiety while promoting relaxation are available to assist in the solution. Training And Technology Perfect Together!
The best news of all is if, after careful evaluation, there are indications that the problem is a dog talking back in a dominance tug-of-war for authority then training to control dominance is necessary, but it does not involve physical punishment. Along with humane and proper training methods and behavior management products, the situation is solvable with citronella technology, an important development in canine behavior management solutions. Most Humane and Effective Nuisance Barking Solution is a Citronella Bark Collar
A Citronella Bark Collar uses technology to deliver a harmless burst of citronella spray to interrupt your dog’s barking.
Used by trainers with great success. “It can be used to either interrupt behaviors or to act as a deterrent to discourage behaviors, all without causing the dog pain. ” -Suzanne Hetts, Ph. D. Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist, Animal Behavior Associates, Inc. , Littleton, CO“I’ve used it with great success with several of my clients’ dogs. Companion dog owners who would never accept any other type of anti-bark collar have no qualms about using yours. ” -Terry D. Morrow, TrainerBetter Because…
Ultra-sonic collars are not as severe as the pain of electrical shock; however, behavior experts report that they have 25% the success rate as with the Citronella Bark Collar.
Shock collars are inappropriate and attempt to reduce barking with pain, are less effective and may increase anxiety and aggression, potentially making behavior problems worse.
The Citronella Bark Collar spray works with four of your dog’s five senses; he hears it, sees it, feels it and smells it. Citronella is a unique scent, nonoffensive to humans, which most dogs don’t normally encounter so unusual enough to distract the dog from whatever he’s barking at.
