    Are No Bark Collars Bad?

     

    There are currently three types of no bark collars commonly used on dogs. All of them work, but there is some debate as to whether these collars are ethical to use. If you have a dog, you should know some basic information about no bark collars before getting one for your dog.

    Citronella Spray Collars

    There are no bark dog collars that spray the dog's muzzle with citrus smell if the dog keeps barking. Because the smell of citrus is not pleasant for dogs, they will eventually stop barking. These collars often come with a design that makes them give out a hissing sound before they release the citrus smell, so a dog that stops when it hears the sound can avoid the release of the smell. These no bark collars are considered ethical by experts, as there is no pain involved, just a mild annoyance for the dog.

    Ultrasonic/Sonic Dog Collars

    These collars work by emitting a very high pitched sound when the dog barks. This tone is similar to the dog whistle sound. This sound can't be perceived by humans, but it can be perceived by dogs, who learn to stop barking so as to avoid the sound. Dog trainers and veterinarians see no problem with these collars, as they aren't harmful. Dogs only get a bit annoyed, and they learn how to avoid that eventually. Note: This type of no bark collar is considered the least effective, as the dog can become used to the sound over time.

    Electric No Bark Collars

    These collars work by delivering a small electrical shock to the dog's neck whenever it starts barking. The shock isn't painful, it's similar to what you feel when you handle fabrics or walk over a rug. However, there are a lot of people that think that this type of no bark collar is unethical. The main reason why these people consider this collar unethical is that it actually causes a physical stimulus that can be felt by the dog. Some people don’t like that. Does the electronic no bark collar work? Usually it works great – so consider it an option if you have a barking dog.

    To make a dog behave and reduce excessive barking, you can choose between spray collars, sonic collars, or electrical shock collars. Most people have no problems with spray collars or sonic collars, but the idea of an electrical shock makes them think that shock collars aren't good for dogs. However, all three methods are perfectly safe for dogs.

    no bark collars are a great way to reduce excessive barking that isn't related to your dog's health. Although most people don't have a problem with them, some of them think shock collars are unethical. Nevertheless, all no bark dog collars are perfectly safe.
