Just mentioning training your dog with an electronic dog collar and many pet owners eyes will budge out of their heads like you just suggested the worst fate for your dog. In reality a shock collar can be a very human way to train your dog. Many times these training devices are used for the purposes of cruelty but it is totally dependant on the trainer and their intentions.
How do they work?
These collars work by allowing the handler to give the dog very small, electric shock with a hand held remote in order to modify their behavior. The intensity is totally controlled by the handler. The shock should be set at a level that makes the dogs ears twitch in response. If a dog reacts by yelping then the setting is too high and should be adjusted accordingly. Again, the electronic dog collars should be used with care. Please read all instruction manuals and videos before starting your training.
The constant barking from your dog will disrupt your sleep and make your neighbors very upset. Barking, as you understand, is just a natural reaction for all dogs. Most dogs bark because they feel threatened, feel that their territory is threatened or just excited. There are instances where dogs will bark incessantly. Even if you try and reassure them they will still continue to bark. There is no positive answer to why certain dogs bark continuously. But there is help for you in retraining their behavior.
Proper training with devices such as an anti bark collar is one way to help control your dog’s excessive barking. Training your dog can be a complicated and very frustrating task if you have no idea how to start. If you choose to go with a anti bark collar there are several different types on the market you can choose from.
There are the dog shock collars that deliver a harmless shock to your dog when your dog barks. There is also the dog spray collar that uses citronella. The spray collars are not as effective as the shock collars but work well for most dogs. But because dogs hate the smell of citronella they seem to learn very quickly how it is associated with their barking. These types of collars are seen to be more humane and will not inflict any pain.
When choosing the appropriate dog collar make sure that you pick the right type of collar for your dog. Your selections should depend on the size of your dog and their barking habits. The collar should fit comfortably around your dog’s neck. A tight collar can put pressure on the air passage and could cause choking.
