If you have a barking dog and are worried about your neighbours, then there is a good chance that you know that they might be upset with your dogs excessive barking. A barking dog does not just affect the owners, but it can affect the whole neighbour hood. If your dog barking is annoying your neighbors then there is a good chance that you could expect a visit from animal control.
If you dog is neurotic, then a stop barking collar isnt probably the best solution for your dog. Since the collar will give them an unpleasant vibration when they are barking, this could cause your neurotic dog to really not like it and hurt themselves trying to get the collar off. Anti barking collars should only be used as a corrective method only, they are not designed for every day apparel.
A static collar is where there is a unpleasant vibration, triggered off when your dog barks, this will not cause your dog any pain whatsoever, it will only make them realise that when they bark, they will get this vibration. If you are not keen on this method, the other type of stop barking collar is a citronella collar, this will disperse a citronella spray. This is a smell dogs do not like and they will soon stop barking to avoid the smell.
Dogs bark for many different reasons. To stop your dog from barking, you really need to figure out why he or she is barking in the first place. Boredom, anxiety, excitement and stranger alert are the some of the reasons why your dog will bark. If your dog is barking excessively then there is a good chance that there is something in your dogs life that is bothering him or her, and barking is the only way of expressing that.
Anti barking collars are designed to be used for corrective training only. They are good in the sense that if you do not have the time to train your dog, then its a good way of stopping the barking almost immediately. However, they do need to stop being used when the excessive barking stops. Its normal for a dog to bark a little, but once it gets to excessive then the dog needs to be stopped.
