Dog bark collars: How to stop a dog from barking

Barking is a very common dog behavior problem, it is a dog's method of communication; it is fine for a dog to bark, however, when the barking becomes very loud or excessive, that is when it becomes a problem for yourself and your neighbours.

The common reasons for excessive dog barking are simple things such as:

They are bored and have not had enough activity or exercise

They are frustrated. This can happen if they wish to do something but are not able to

They are scared.

It can be very frustrating to have a dog that barks excessively and loudly, especially if it occurs at night when you are trying to sleep, this can also annoy your neighbors if the dog is loud enough.

There are some simple methods that you can use to reduce the amount of barking your dog does, here are some you can try:

Exercise more often. Dogs need exercise, they need to be walked quite regularly, otherwise they will be very bored and have too much energy, all you need to do is walk your dog every day, this should make it tired.

Train the dog to stop barking. You can train the dog to stop by teaching it to react to certain commands, for example, if you say "hush", you can do this by giving treats every time a command is successfully obeyed.

Give your dog more attention. Dogs like attention and affection, if you don't spend much time with your dog and they are left by themselves quite often, you may find it will bark more out of frustration and boredom.

These are just some of the simple methods you can try to use to reduce your dogs barking problem, training with a citronella anti bark spray collar is probably the most affective method and it would be a good idea for you to train your dog properly.

Gentle Spray Citronella Bark Collar is the Humane Way to Stop Your Dog Barking

There are many methods used to train dogs to stop barking, but I firmly believe that something like the gentle spray citronella bark collar you can buy online is the best solution.

I remember using buckets of water, and spraying with the garden hose, when I trained my first dog 35 years ago.  

It was a pain to try and catch my dog barking red-handed, with a bucket of water, and the water hose can be just as difficult.

 It was effective for those times when I managed to get the timing right, but usually we both ended up pretty wet and miserable for hours each time, so I wish that these spray bark collars were available back then.

They are pain free, and can’t hurt your dog.  It just acts as a distraction that surprises them when they bark, and that ‘breaks the habit’ they get into with mindless barking.  

It is especially helpful when you can’t be there to supervise the dog yourself, as this works as a remote control training device when the dog is on its own.

The collar has a microphone that is triggered when the dog barks, to release a gentle spray of citronella scented fluid.  This totally distracts the dog and breaks the behaviour cycle that it is currently in.  

The citronella is harmless but slightly distasteful to dogs, so the dog soon learns not to bark – to avoid a spray of citronella from the anti-barking collar.

The customer reviews on the whole rave about the effectiveness and simplicity of use for these products, so if you have a barking dog, you should really look further into these and consider getting one for your dog.
