The citronella dog collar is used as a deterrent to excessive barking. Considered safe for dogs, humans and the environment, it is an alternative to the electronic shock anti bark dog collars popular on the market today. It works by sensing the dogs barking on the throat, similar to the electronic shock collar. The collar will then release a brief spray of citronella around the dogs snout. The object is for the dog to relate the spraying of the citronella to barking; the end result being the negative behavior being disrupted. The citronella dog collar is a good alternative to punishing a dog for barking.

Citronella dog collars can be used in a variety of ways. They can be used with spray barriers, remote trainers, virtual fences and can be used in a variety of training scenarios.

Spray barriers are used with spray receiver collars. The spray barrier emits a low frequency radio signal whenever the dog approaches the barrier. When the dog gets too close a beep sounds. If the dog continues toward the spray barrier the citronella dog collar will spray under the dogs snout. This is a solution for people trying to keep their dogs off of a couch, away from babies, out of the garbage or away from a pet cats area.

Remote trainers are for people training a pet from a distance. The remote trainer can help stop a dog from jumping on people, chasing your pet cat, digging holes in your yard, dumping your garbage can or even train them to obey simple commands such as heel and stay. These remote trainers work with the citronella dog collar and can receive signals up to 100 feet.


Virtual fences are a way to keep your pet in your yard without installing expensive fencing. The complete system consists of the citronella dog collar, a buried wire, flags and an emitter. First, the wire is buried around the perimeter that you wish your dog to stay in. The system then requires an emitter that, when plugged into an outlet, sends out a low frequency radio signal to the buried wire.

When your dog approaches the area where the wire is buried, the citronella dog collar will make a warning beep. If the dog continues to try and cross the buried wire, the collar will spray citronella around his snout. Anyone using this type of barrier should remember that it isnt a solid barrier; it is a reminder to the dog that if he tries to cross it he will have an unpleasant smell sprayed around his nose. When you are first training your dog with this system you can place flags around the perimeter to help him remember where his perimeter is.

The citronella dog collar is an effective way to train your dog without using shocks or pinch collars. The main effect of using this training method is a less aggressive dog. He doesnt have to feel that he is going to be punished with an unpleasant shock whenever he does something wrong, nor will he get a shock when he makes a move that the shock collar reads as barking. This type of collar is therefore highly recommended by veterinarians and trainers alike.
