Anti Barking Dog Collar
Using an Anti Barking Dog Collar
An anti barking dog collar, often referred to as simply
a bark collar, is designed to be used as a training
tool for your dog. The bark collar helps train the dog
not to bark at inappropriate times and is especially
useful with certain breeds of dog that are naturally
prone to bark excessively or any dog that barks at
inopportune times.
An anti barking dog collar is just like any other dog
collar, except it has a small electronic device affixed
to the front. The device is usually in a plastic casing
with two small metallic polarization points that must
rest against the dogs throat. The device is battery
operated and uses a small watch or hearing aid style
battery for power. The plastic casing is designed to be
sturdy, able to withstand the antics of even the most
active dogs and should last a long time.
The anti barking dog collar controls and corrects the
dogs barking by issuing a small electric shock as a
corrective measure whenever the dog barks while it is
wearing the collar. This is accomplished by the small
metal points on the device. When the dog barks, the
natural movement of its mouth and throat cause the
points to be dragged across the skin, activating the
unit. The shock is obviously a source of discomfort for
the dog and he quickly realizes that the correction
follows by the barking.
Some pet lovers and animal rights activists believe that
the use of an anti barking dog collar is cruel
treatment. The correction causes more discomfort than
pain, however, and is never strong enough to seriously
harm the animal. Manufacturers of anti barking dog
collar are also quick to point out that the collars are
not intended to be used as a substitute for good
obedience training, merely as a tool or a part of an
overall correction/reward system.
They also state very clearly in the users guide that
the collar should be worn for short periods of time only
and not left on the dog all the time. The pet lovers and
activists who are against the use of these collars will
also concede that the method is much less cruel than a
veterinary de-barking operation that suppresses the
dogs ability to bark at all.
Simple and convenient, an anti barking dog collar is a
good way to keep your dog from barking when you dont
want him to or, more accurately, a good way to train
your dog when it is and isnt appropriate to bark. The
anti barking dog collar is most effective when coupled
with a proper training program and not seen as a final
solution to an overly barking dog in and of itself.
The corrections issued will make the dog uncomfortable,
but are not overtly painful or harmful in any way. If
youre a dog owner experiencing the turmoil and
frustration that an excessively or inappropriately
barking dog can cause, an anti-barking dog collar could
be an answer.
