The Anti Bark Spray Collar: The Humane Solution To Barking

 

Due to the controversy of other types of training collars, such as the sonic collar and much debated electric shock collar, the spray bark collar presents itself as a good solution that isn't as controversial as the others. However, before you buy an anti bark spray collar, you should really understand the difference between the different models, specially between old models and new ones.

The spray bark collar And Its Principle

Dog Owners that have pets that bark more than they would like to can use the anti bark spray collar as a good, effective, and humane solution to the problem. This type of anti bark collar senses the vibrations in the dog's neck that are caused by the sound of the bark, and in turn, it releases a small squirt of citronella that sprays the dog's muzzle. The spray catches the dog off guard because the dog can see it, smell it, feel it, and hear it. Dogs don't like the smell of citronella, and the spray will cause it to stop barking and wonder what caused the spray and where it came from; and eventually the dog will figure out that excessive barking will result in another spray of cintronella.

PetSafe and Innotek are the couple of popular brands of spray bark collars in the US. As mentioned, it pays to take a bit of time to understand the differences between the different models that are available to the public. Few of the factors that influence the choice of the spray bark collars constitute the dog’s size, its type, battery backup, coverage range and additional features offered.

When you compare the several features of the several models available with what you think your dog needs, you'll get a much better collar for your money.

Advantages of the spray bark collar

The anti bark spray collar is considered by dog trainers as the most humane of all training collars, since the citronella spray is neither painful nor harmful to the dog. Research conducted at the Mesa Veterinary Hospital (Moffat), Arizona in 2003 testifies that the spray bark collars are relatively very effective when compared to the scentless collars.
