Who doesn’t want a perfect, well-behaved dog? Certainly, no one likes to be involved too much with doggy stuff for a busy daily schedule. It is both annoying and embarrassing for dog owners to be a master of a pet which they can’t control.

Keep in mind, however, dogs bark for it is their nature. They bark to express their feelings like when they are happy, sad, irritated, amazed or need to catch their master’s attention. It is the only way of verbal communication and one must first find out the reasons behind a dogs non-stop barking. In such cases where barking is too annoying, there are several ways to discipline a pet which adhere to today’s trend of being a more humane community. bark collars are the most affordable and most readily available way of pet training and discipline. There are three types of dog barking collars offered in the market, each with its own unique means of getting the dog to behave in a more desirable manner.

The static collar is triggered through a microphone by a particular pitch and tone of barking. It will send a small electric current to surprise the dog, thus, it interrupts its barking. This type of bark collars is said to be most effective as most dogs easily learn to associate the feeling of the electric shock with its barking, thus making them realize that that behavior is undesirable to its master.

The ultrasonic collar works almost like how the static collar does except that instead of sending an electric shock, it produces a high-pitched sound that is audible only to the dog’s sensitive sense of hearing. It is unpleasant for them and, as with the static collar, helps them associate the discomfort from the noise with their barking. This is also proven to be effective to some extent.

The citronella collar is also initiate by barking. It then sprays the dog’s face with a small amount of citronella oil, enough to amaze them and stop its barking. This tpe of collar is considered very effective too for it affects four of the dogs senses (smelling, hearing, seeing, feeling). And what is more to it, this is very safe and does not harm your dog and there are no dangerous chemicals.

Each dog is different and methods of discipline are not always uniform with each pooch. As humans, we are accountable for our pets. There is no harm in consulting first with someone who knows more than we do before we practice methods of discipline.
