Every person that has a dog needs to make sure that the dog is properly trained. A well trained dog will not scare guests or jump on them without a reason. It should also not be constantly barking. Excessive barking can cause you problems with your family or your neighbors.

The constant barking, when it’s not related to health problems, might make it impossible for people in the house to enjoy a simple conversation, at which point a citronella bark collar becomes almost a necessity.

What’s A Citronella Bark Collar?

The citronella bark collar is highly effective. It’s the collar that’s preferred by people who don’t agree with other methods of anti bark correction, specially those that involve static electricity. This collar does not work by hurting your dog to make him stop barking. It operates with a small dose of citronella spray that’s shot right in front of your dog’s nose.

The moment the dog senses this new smell, its natural curiosity will kick in and the dog will try to find out where the smell came from. This will make them immediately stop barking and can keep them amused for quite some time, or at least long enough until they have forgotten they were barking in the first place.

Over time the dog will learn that every time they bark, the collar sprays the citronella. It does not harm them but because they have learned this, they are going to start trying their very best to not bark. Because it’s harmless, this type of collar has been gaining in popularity lately. Dog owners like this collar because it goes easy on dogs, yet it delivers the results they were looking for.

Most pet supply stores offer the citronella bark collar and other versions as well. The ultrasonic bark collar for instance is a different take on the citronella version. The ultrasound collar is another harmless collar, but instead of squirting a bit of citronella, it will produce a high pitched sound that’s detectably only by dogs.

The reason why manufacturers selected a sound so high pitched that humans can’t hear it is so that you don’t have to put up with it in addition to the barking of your dog. That would be just as bad as hearing the dog bark so it would be pretty pointless.

The citronella bark collar is a very effective solution, specially if you consider its low cost in relationship with other, more expensive options.
