Due to the controversy of other types of training collars, such as the sonic
collar and much debated electric shock collar, the spray bark collar presents
itself as a good solution that isn't as controversial as the others. Before
getting an anti bark spray collar for your loved pet, you should really
understand the principle behind it as well as the differences between the
different models that there are.
The spray bark collar, a Forte to Pet Owners
Dog Owners that have pets that bark more than they would like to can use the
anti bark spray collar as a good, effective, and humane solution to the problem.
This anti bark collar senses the vibrations and the sound of the dog’s bark and
spurts out citronella spray/natural lemon spray around the vicinity of the dog’s
face. The spray is effective because it affects most of the dog's senses. The
odor of citronella isn't pleasurable to the dog, and it'll make it stop barking
in order to try to figure out what happened, and with time, the dog will
eventually link the spray with the unwanted barking.
Although there are several brands of spray bark collars, the two most popular
ones are PetSafe and Innotek. It's always a good idea to do a bit of research
and compare the different models in the market before you decide which collar
you shoudl buy. Few of the factors that influence the choice of the spray bark
collars constitute the dog’s size, its type, battery backup, coverage range and
additional features offered.
When you compare what your dog needs and what you want with what you can find in
the market, you can get a much more effective anti bark collar.
Advantages of the spray bark collar
The spray collars are considered the most humane of the training collars,
specially when compared with other types of collars, such as the shock collar or
the sonic collar. A study that was conducted by dog trainers at the Mesa
Veterinary Hospital in 2003 showed that anti bark spray collars were very
effective when used to reduce excessive barking.
The purpose of this article is to let you know a bit more about the spray collar
and how it works. The basis for choosing the right spray collar has also been
discussed. Finally, it talks about a study that backs the efficiency of the
spray collar.
The spray bark collar is a good alternative to other types of training collars. Unlike the shock collar, there's no controversy attached to it. Finally, the anti bark spray collar can be bought online or in a pet store.
