Using An Anti Bark Collar to Quiet Your Barking Dog

No one likes a barking dog, but sometimes all of your attempts to quiet a barking dog dont work and you are left frustrated and desperate for help. Barking becomes an especially serious issue when owners are threatened with evictions, tickets, or fines because of their barking dog, and this is usually when most owners think about purchasing an anti bark collar.

Using an anti bark collar is usually a last resort, but luckily the collars work immediately to quiet barking and reduce owner stress. Despite what some people may suggest, these bark control type collars are an effective and humane way to quiet and train your dog.

Anti bark collars work using a device to detect your dogs bark, this device is usually a microphone or some sort of vibration sensor. When your dog barks the device is triggered to automatically correct the behavior the moment he barks, allowing him to associate barking with an undesirable consequence. This automatic trigger teaches most dogs quickly that barking is not desired and theyll stop. Anti bark collars work well no matter where you are so you dont have to worry about what Fido is up to when you are away from home.

Many dogs bark out of separation anxiety when you leave home, and typically bark collars do not work on dogs that bark for this reason. If you suspect separation anxiety do not attempt to use an anti bark collar, instead consult your veterinarian and discuss options may better suite your dog.

There are different types of anti bark collars such as:

Static shock anti bark collars: This is probably the most effective type of bark control collar on the market today. When the dog barks a vibration sensor detects it, and immediately sends a very mild electric shock to the dog. Most of these anti bark collars allow you to adjust the intensity of the shock that is delivered to your dog.


If you have a real sensitive dog, youll want to set it on the lowest setting. Basically, youll match the intensity level to your dogs temperament. Static shock collars should not be used on aggressive dogs without first consulting your veterinarian or animal behaviorist.

The price range on the static shock collars really varies. Typically, the more expensive collars will save you money down the line because you wont have to deal with replacing expensive batteries, or water damage. So, consider your continued cost as well as initial purchase price before deciding that any one collar too expensive..

Citronella anti bark collar: This is a very humane and effective means of bark control. These anti bark collars work by spraying citronella directly in the face of the dog every time he barks. The shock of the unpleasant smell will quickly teach a dog not to bark for fear of experiencing the strong smelling odor again.

A citronella anti bark collar has been shown to work on nine out of ten dogs, so its a good first step to bark control. And, without the potential behavior problems often caused by static shock (such as fear or aggression) its definitely worth a try.

Ultrasonic noise anti bark collar: This type of bark control collar really isnt useful at all. This type of anti bark collar works by emitting a shrill noise that your dog can hear, but you cannot. These collars seldom work, if ever, and should be considered a waste of your time and money..

As you can see, there are different steps you can take to try to quiet your barking dog. If you feel you have to resort to using an anti bark collar dont feel bad, remember you are doing what you can to keep your dog living in your house and neighborhood peacefully.
