If You're Having Problems With Your Dog Barking, An Anti Bark Collar May Be The Answer

My dog used to keep me up all night. Initially, I had believed that it would be a good idea to get a canine which was active enough to make a good watch-dog, making sure that any intruders were alerted to the fact that this wasn't the place which they should be breaking in to. But my yippy little beagle, regrettably, did the job just a little tiny bit too well. He barks not only at mailmen, visitors, children walking by down the street, and motor vehicles which drive by, but at squirrels, butter-flies, & apparently at the wind going through the grass. Anything that makes the slightest bit of movement at all will draw his attention and cause him to bark and bark. I tried locking him out for the night, but that only made matters worse. Now he would not only disturb me, but also all of the neighbors as well with his constant and insistent noises.

I had been against anti bark collars for a while, but ultimately I decided that enough was enough. The thing about anti bark collars that bothered me most was that they were so un-humane. If you do not like canine habits, be they panting, drooling, barking, or sniffing at your bottom, I reasoned, you ought to not get a dog. Getting an anti bark collar which would shock him every single time he barked just seemed like a brutal fix for your own oversight in getting an animal which you weren't prepared to adequately take care of on the first hand. But still, the temptation of anti bark collars was getting pretty compelling after, one single night, he awoke me not less than six times, and almost got the police called.

I did some investigation on the anti bark collar I was investigating and found out that they don't all just use electricity. There are types of an anti bark collar that, as opposed to using an electric shock, emit a high pitched noise which bothers a canine's sensitive hearing, and stops it from always barking by the disagreeable sensation. Regrettably, these forms of anti bark collars also seemed pretty brutal, and I felt like I just needed to find another solution to the problem. I discovered citronella anti barking collars, which seemed just perfect. Rather than shocking a dog or hurting its ears, these anti bark collars just emit a burst of citronella, which is overwhelmingly high-powered and weird for a canine. It confuses him, and makes him temporarily stop his barking.
