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 Teach Your Dog to Stop Barking?

I guess that when you own a dog, the barking comes with the territory. From my experience I can tell you that you cannot make a dog not bark at all, though you can control it.
My dog used to bark whenever I had guests, in the middle of the night, or during the day whether I was at home or not. It had become a real problem, my neighbors were complaining and I was frustrated because I couldn’t get enough sleep. How did I manage to solve this problem and to control my dog?
It was not easy in the beginning because I did not realize that the first step I had to do was to analyze my dog’s behavior, to “read” the signs. Don’t you just feel tired of hearing your dog barking every time you put him outside alone? Well, this goes hand in hand with your dog’s isolation and lonesome feelings because dogs are very social creatures.
In order to solve this problem you will start training him the “wait” command. Use a crate in a room or a gate across the door. Say “wait, good dog” and go somewhere where he cannot see you, but only for a few seconds at first. When you come back, reward him by patting him and showing enthusiasm.
Repeat this a few times a day, but each time increase the time you leave him alone. Soon, your dog will be happy even if he is left all alone for 15 minutes or more. The next step is to move the training sessions outside and to do the same thing, but starting with short periods of time. Don’t forget to reward him every time he does it well!
Sometimes it’s entirely our fault because we spoil our dogs too much; therefore they get accustomed to lavish attention for nothing. They start to think that they’re the center of our world, so, whenever we are busy they crave for attention and they start barking to earn it.
If you have already tried to yell at him to make him stop, I guess you have noticed that this won’t make him be quiet. What you have to do is to teach your dog that he has to earn your attention. Try to pet or to praise him only after he gets a command right. This way he will get used to being “out of touch” for some time.
Another way is to have him busy while you are gone. Personally, I tried to keep him busy with some chew toys. I have distracted him with the toys and I left the room quietly. Don’t forget to close the door behind you! Come back after a few minutes to see what he is doing. Ignore him if he comes to greet you.
This way, in time, he will understand that the fact that you’ve been away from him is not important to you, therefore it shouldn’t be important to him either. The “ignore” method should be used also whenever you are preparing yourself to leave for the day or when you return home.
I recommend you these methods instead of trying other harmful methods, such as the one called debarking which is simply cruel. Just try the methods mentioned above before any others if you love your dog!
