The Spray Bark Collar: The Humane Option

 

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
