Citronella Collars

To understand citronella dog collars, you must first know what goes into them. Citronella is an essential oil extracted from the lemongrass plant. It has a strong lemon-like scent to it.

Dogs don't like the scent of citronella. A citronella collar produces a small amount of spray, enough to give your dog an unpleasant odour and correct their behavioural issues. When the collar detects an undesirable behaviour such as nuisance barking, it immediately sprays a tiny dose of Citronella on your dog, which startles them and corrects them in the act.

What is a citronella collar?

A citronella anti-bark collar is a light, plastic collar placed around the neck of your dog. A micro circuit within the unit opens a little valve, spraying citronella when your dog barks. Citronella spray is slightly unpleasant for the dog to feel, hear, and smell. Before using a citronella anti bark collar on your dog, you should consider some factors. Your dog may or may not respond to the collar. Some dogs get sensitised to the spray and stop barking as soon as the collar is put on. This is a desired outcome. Many dogs don’t realise that they have a collar on and behave only after they are sprayed with citronella. On the other hand, others may figure out that the scent does not hurt them, so they continue barking. If that is the case, could consider upgrading to a static shock collar.

How to use a citronella collar?

A citronella dog collar can prevent your dog from incessant barking, jumping, counter-surfing, and a variety of other undesirable habits. Finding the appropriate one, and using it correctly, is critical to your success. 

When your dog barks or does something he shouldn't, a dog spray collar automatically corrects them in the act. These collars are considered the most compassionate since they do not harm your dog in any way.

Now that you've decided to try a citronella collar to train your dog, you can use it in different ways. The first option is to use a ‘quiet’ cue. Your dog will learn that barking when the ‘quiet’ command is given will not be pleasant for him as he will be sprayed. However, he will also realise that he can earn a reward if he is ‘quiet’. By using the collar in this way, your dog will not associate it with getting sprayed for barking, so you may not need to use it as often.

The ‘silent’ cue with collar adjustment is the second option. This strategy will teach the dog that the collar is the source of discomfort (because of the spray). So, whenever you put the collar around your dog, it will stop barking. Additionally, you can use the positive reinforcement technique, where your dog is rewarded for being ‘silent’.
