A dog barking is probably one of the worst noises you can hear, especially when its all day, every day. A barking dog can really cause your neighbors to really start to resent you and your dog, and if they are pushed too far, they can start to complain to animal control and the last thing you want as a dog owner is animal control on your doorstep, threatening to take your precious pup away.

If you dog is neurotic, then a stop barking collar isnt probably the best solution for your dog. Since the collar will give them an unpleasant vibration when they are barking, this could cause your neurotic dog to really not like it and hurt themselves trying to get the collar off. Anti barking collars should only be used as a corrective method only, they are not designed for every day apparel.

There are two main types of dog barking collars. A static collar is where the dog will receive an unpleasant vibration when it is triggered off by barking. This shock has no electricity in it, and will not cause your dog any pain. If you do not like the idea of the static collar then a citronella collar is your option. A citronella collar will disperse a spray of citronella each time your dog barks. Dogs do not like the smell of citronella so it will soon associate the smell with barking.

Dogs bark for many different reasons. To stop your dog from barking, you really need to figure out why he or she is barking in the first place. Boredom, anxiety, excitement and stranger alert are the some of the reasons why your dog will bark. If your dog is barking excessively then there is a good chance that there is something in your dogs life that is bothering him or her, and barking is the only way of expressing that.

Anti barking collars are designed to be used for corrective training only. They are good in the sense that if you do not have the time to train your dog, then its a good way of stopping the barking almost immediately. However, they do need to stop being used when the excessive barking stops. Its normal for a dog to bark a little, but once it gets to excessive then the dog needs to be stopped.
