The process is very similar to the one used for teaching your dog to sit, stay or fetch something, using oral commands that your dog has to respond to. Nevertheless, depending on your dog’s personailty, this process might not work, and you’ll have to get him an anti bark collar. You will then have to decide what type of anti bark collar you should buy.

Citronella Spray Collars

The citronella spray collar is becoming very popular today. For dog owners who want an anti bark collar to help their dogs quiet down, this is an ideal choice because it is effective but without harming the dog. It’s also notorious because it doesn’t give electrical shocks to the dog, unlike other types of collars. In place of the electrical discharge that shock collars are known for, this collars simply releases a small spray of citronella on the dog’s muzzle whenever it barks.

The spray isn’t painful or specially uncomfortable to the dog; it stops the dog from barking because of this sudden smell that makes the dog wonder what happened. As the dog continues to wear the collar and get used to it they will start to realize that every time they bark the collar goes off. The collar includes a built-in mic that detects when the dog barks and releases a spray of citronella.

Ultrasonic Collars

Another very commonly used anti bark collar is the ultrasonic type. Like the citronella collar, the ultrasonic collar is completely safe, comfortable, and painless to your dog. It stops barking via a high pitch that calls the dog’s attention. However, you won’t be able to hear it, since it’s indetectable by humans.

The ultrasound collar lets you adjust its sound settings, so that you can change them if the default ones aren’t working on your dog. For example, you can select between a constant sound or a fluctuating sound, depending on which one your dog responds better to.

An anti bark collar can very well be the perfect solution to your dog barking problems and help you to start enjoying your time with your dog again
