I have always thought that dogs were practically wild animals, and they should be given a large amount of room in their behaviour. Nevertheless, my neighbors don’t agree with me. You see, we are living in a quiet suburban area, and wild behavior is not really appreciated all that much. Even barking gets on folks’s nerves, and when I first had my dog I have the cops called on me many times before I realized how simply people got irritated around here. That is why I got my dog a dog bark collar. Although they seem like a very wicked way to treat an animal, I thought that dog bark collars were better than losing your dog due to too many complaints.
There are many different types of dog bark collars. Some of them are electric shock collars which give dogs a shock every time they make too much noise. Other dog bark collars claim to be more decent. Instead of shocking the dogs, they give them a jolt of citronella every time they bark. The strong odor of the citronella stops the dogs from barking quickly, and if they start again they are going to get another blast in the face. All these dog bark collar designs appear pretty cruel to me. Though some dog bark collars are far worse than others, none seem particularly kind. Nevertheless, I knew I had to get my dog and anti barking collar or else I would lose him. The police were already threatening.
When I started looking at dogs bark collars, I realized how many tools there were to train your dog. There were invisible fence collars that would actually train your puppy to not go outside of a certain area without you with it. Essentially, each time the dog would go outside a certain prearranged fence, The dog bark collars would go off, giving it some sort of upsetting stimuli. Either the collar would shock it, squirt it with citronella, or subject it to a very high-pitched and irritating noise. Either way, the average dog would quickly learn what the bounds were.
I chose to stick with the basic dog bark collars. I hadn’t truly needed to teach my dog not to bark, but I actually didn’t wish to subject it to even more needless lessons. No bark collars were the minimum that I could get away with, so I determined to go for those.
A further way of preventing dog barking is by the use of DAP (Dog Appeasing Pheromones) which is used as an impregnated collar, a spray or as a plug-in diffuser. DAP is not a drug and as such it’s a safer alternative to the use of calming drugs. DAP products can be purchased online from the DAP-Direct website.
