Citronella Dog Collar
Stop The Dog Barking Naturally and Humanely
Your barking dog may be driving you and your neighbors
over the edge, but as a loving owner the idea of a shock
collar to improve behavior and decrease barking seems
too extreme, right? Luckily, there are now other options
to help you control your dogs barking. A citronella dog
collar is a relatively new addition to the anti-barking
tools that have long been used to quiet barking. Unlike
other more invasive anti-bark collars, the citronella
dog collar is safe for dogs of all sizes and very
humane.
The citronella dog collar works by spraying a small
amount of citronella in the face of the barking dog. The
collar is able to detect that the dog is barking,
usually with a vibration sensor, and then the non-toxic
chemical is sprayed quickly, but adequately in the face
of the dog. It may still not seem like the most loving
thing to do to your pet, but its much more humane than
shocking your dog, or going to other extreme measures.
And, citronella really is harmless it just smells bad!
In fact, the smell of citronella is exactly why the
citronella dog collar works so well. When the small puff
of citronella is puffed into the dogs face, the
experience will be very unpleasant. The chemical will
last just long enough to stop the barking and allow the
dog to associate barking with an unpleasant experience.
Although many scientists speculate that a dog has no
real long-term memory, they are able to associate
certain behaviors with specific consequences over time.
So, your dog will be less likely to bark once he has
begun to associate his behavior with the unfavorable
consequences, and hopefully he will alter his behavior,
as most dogs do, to avoid the smell of the citronella.
After a short period of a couple days or weeks, most
dogs can resist the urge to bark as they anticipate the
spray of citronella. Many owners report having to use
the citronella dog collar just a few times before they
see a permanent or long lasting improvement from the dog
and his barking patterns. If your dog happens to lapse
into bad barking behaviors again after a few weeks or
months, put the collar back on, and youll likely see
another lengthy improvement in barking.
Of course, youll never stop barking altogether. Barking
is natural for all dogs, no matter if they are primarily
inside or outside dogs. A dog only has one real means of
communication, which is barking, especially when it
comes to other dogs. So, if your dog barks occasionally
at a passing dog, person, bird, or car, dont give him
too hard of a time. But, if the barking becomes routine
its time to strap the citronella dog collar back on and
teach him that he needs to keep it under control to keep
the peace with the neighbors.
A citronella dog collar really is an effective, humane
way to control barking. So, if you are at the point
where you know you need to break the barking routine,
this may be a great way for you quiet the yard and the
neighborhood. You, your neighbors, and your dog can
benefit from this type of c collar; it may very well
change your life!
