Bark Control Dog Collar
The Proper Use of a Bark Control Dog Collar
A modern convenience that has helped to revolutionize
one aspect of dog training is the bark control dog
collar. A bark control dog collar does, as the name
would suggest, help to control your dogs barking by
issuing a correction in the form of a mild electric
shock whenever the dog barks.
The collars are useful and effective, but to make the
most of their use, the dog owner must be sure to use the
collar appropriately. Appropriate use of the bark
control dog collar includes training the dog not to bark
at inappropriate times and to know the difference
between when barking should and shouldnt be done.
The most common mistake that people make when using a
bark control dog collar is the assumption that just
slapping one on your dog will solve any problem youre
having with inconvenient or inappropriate barking. That
is just not the case. The bark control dog collar is
intended to be used as a training tool to teach your dog
not to bark at certain times, not as a be all, end all
solution to the problem.
Because of the way it functions, the bark control dog
collar will stop the dog from barking while hes wearing
it, but the dog wont learn anything except to
eventually be afraid of the collar and the discomfort
that he will soon understand is associated with it.
Proper use of the bark control dog collar involves
training the dog with a system of corrections and
rewards, the same way a dog owner will train a dog to go
outdoors to do his thing, do tricks, and obey
commands. The dog should be worked with regularly while
wearing the collar and presented stimuli that would
normally cause him to bark. If he does bark, the collar
introduces a correction. If he does not bark, the owner
should introduce a reward.
This method of training with the bark control dog collar
will have the result of teaching the dog when and when
not to bark. There are a number of options when training
your dog this way as well. The dog can be trained to
bark only when a stranger approaches, only when it
senses peril, or not at all. It can also be trained to
not bark only when wearing the collar (this is not the
same as just strapping the collar on and being done with
it).
A bark control dog collar can be a very useful tool for
training a dog, but it should never be used by itself to
curb barking. The collar should not be left on the dog
for long periods of time either, because it can cause
severe irritation to the dogs throat if left on too
long or used too often. The bark control dog collar is a
training tool, no different or harmful than a choke
chain or clicker or any other dog training aid.
