Barking Collars - I love my dog. I love the faithful affection that my mottled mutt shows me every time I step through the door. I love the way he joyously runs to play fetch with me. I love walking him all over the neighborhood while we enjoy each other’s company. I love my dog almost as much as I love my own family. I even love old Snoopy more than some of my relatives.
As a matter of fact, the only thing that I really love more than my dog is my sleep. The unfortunate fact is that sometimes they clash. My dog is quite a barker. Even with most of the barking collars that I have tried, it is difficult to get him to shut up. If the postman comes by, he barks. If a car, truck, bicycle, or motorcycle drives by, he barks. When I first got him, I was hesitant to get a bark collar. I always thought that anti barking collars were inhumane. But that was before three months of sleepless nights. The neighbors have stopped complaining and started calling the police. I knew that it was time to get him a barking collar.
There are so many barking collars available that it can be dizzying at first. When I first knew that I needed to train snoopy not to bark, I got him a citronella collar. I thought that this would be much less cruel than the other barking collars on the market. It may have been humane, but it did not do anything to help the problem. Honestly, of all the barking collars that I’ve tried, the citronella collar was the least effective.
The problem is, all of the other barking collars that you can get are kind of sadistic. There are a few variations on barking collars, and I do not know all of them. Most of them, however, can be fit into three types. There are the citronella collars, the electric shock collars, and the ones that make the high-pitched noises. Of all of these, the ones that make the high-pitched noise are more effective than the other barking collars. It seemed like such a mean thing to do to a dog, however, that it took me a while to get one for him. Even once I had it, it was another week before I could bring myself to put the sonic barking collar on my dog. Once I did, however, the barking quickly subsided.
