A Few Issues Of Bark Collars
Us dog lovers are not usually willing to admit that our sweet baby could ever do anything that someone else would object to, not our dog. So, something like barking all night and keeping the neighborhood wide awake is completely out of the question. Yet there are times when some unknown monster starts the activity and unless you go out there to tend to the matter it will last all night. This could be a really good time to consider buying one of those Bark Collars.
Here are a couple of tips to try before spending money. Simply bring your dog in the house. If you can make it stay quiet indoors, the problem is solved. However, if you are not allowed to have pets in your home, then you need to consider some other option.
There are many reasons why dogs bark, and it is not always due to some monster hiding in the bushes. It can be a matter of being hungry, or needing a drink of water, and sometimes it is just a whole lot of pent up energy that has no place to go, except to bark in an effort to get you to play for the next few hours.
Most of us dog owners come home, spend a few minutes with our dog and then either sit and watch television or get involved in something on the Internet. We should make a point of taking our dog out to run and play to burn off the excess energy and if this new schedule does not work, you have the option of these devices which are supposed to help solve the problem.
The first thing that comes to many minds is the static electric shock collar. Notice the word static, because it is as bad as it might sound. This delivers a shock like you get walking across the room and touch a lamp switch. You might get a shock, but you are probably not going to die from it. One of the things to keep in mind about this type of device is that there are international standards for the frequencies used, and not all manufacturers meet these regulations. Be sure to investigate if the model you want is rated for world wide, even if you do not travel abroad.
There is another type of bark collar that uses sound and they are referred to as the sonic anti bark collars. Some of these claim to be well outside the range of human hearing, while others might claim to be mostly outside the range. Ask if you can test the unit before purchasing.
For those who are not comfortable with static shock or sound intervention, there is the citronella spray collar which delivers a burst of citronella into the air and distracts the dogs attention. This could be a something you want to consider if you like the smell of citronella.
What you need to keep in mind is that none of these products are recommended for constant use. There are the issues of having to recharge them or replace the batteries, not to mention that they can become damaged if left unattended while you are away at work. Keeping this in mind your canine vocal problems might be remedied by the use of one of the models of bark collars.
