Anti-Bark Collars

An anti-bark collar is designed to perform a corrective measure to stop your dog from barking, and you'll find many of these at eDog online store. Using a correction collar is an excellent option if your dog is barking excessively and annoying your neighbours, or people in your home. 

Barking collars have been used for many years to help curb nuisance barking. Don't know what it means? Any constant barking that does not appear to have an actual cause can be classified as nuisance barking. For example, if you are away from the house for a few hours, and your dog barks so much that your neighbours complain. Other examples include when your dog barks at the sound of the doorbell ringing or when visitors arrive at your home. 

This training tool is a safe and effective way to turn a problem barker into a well-behaved dog when used correctly. The anti-barking collar can be an excellent solution for dog owners who struggle to stop their dogs from barking too much. 

In most cases, your dog will resort to nuisance barking in the absence of its owners. Your dog may bark for a wide variety of reasons. However, it is usually because they don't like being alone or are bored. You may not even be aware of nuisance barking until you receive a note from your neighbour or a letter from the council informing you about the issue. An anti-bark collar is a quick and effective tool to control all types of nuisance barking. These should only be placed on your dog when barking is a problem, such as when you're leaving the house. Your dog will soon understand that when the collar is on, they should not bark unnecessarily.

How does the anti-bark collar work?

An anti-bark collar works by detecting when your dog is barking, and then it deploys a corrective measure. The exact correction depends on the collar, but the static shock and the citronella spray technique are the most common. You'll also find models that vibrate or use ultrasonic noise as a deterrent. Dog training devices work by associating your dog's barking with an unpleasant effect (such as a sudden burst of citronella, a mild static shock, or a sharp ultrasonic sound). Furthermore, they allow you to communicate with your pet and create a clear understanding of what is acceptable behaviour and what is not.

A collar needs to be attached snug (not tight) against your dog's neck to work correctly. If you're using a static shock collar, it needs to be making contact with skin, and you may need to trim some hair to get a good connection. With static collars, you can adjust the shock settings. It is always a good idea to use the lowest setting when placing the collar on your dog for the first time. 

Anti-bark collars are designed to divert your dog's attention from whatever they are barking at, and they are harmless in any other way. 

Your dog will quickly understand that barking while they are wearing the collar is not a good idea. Using the collar in conjunction with positive reinforcement will garner the best results. For example, if you hear your dog barking while the collar is on, and they respond appropriately when corrected, give your dog a reward for their good behaviour.

Are anti-bark collars safe?

A common misconception is that using an electronic collar is not safe for your dog, but this is not actually true. While all dogs need to bark, such as when they're fearful or playing, nuisance barking is bad behaviour and needs to be corrected. One of the best ways to correct a dog is to perform a correction during the behaviour. This bark collar detects barking and automatically activates, interrupting your dog's thought process, distracting them from whatever they were barking at. It doesn't physically restrain your dog, but it does inhibit them from barking by either vibrating on the collar or inflicting a mild static shock on your dog.

The collar provides an unpleasant experience for your dog, and they'll quickly associate barking with that feeling. With time, your dog will know that they should not be barking when they're wearing the collar. Some people have found that, with time, the collar does not even need to be turned on to stop their dog from barking.
