Does Your Dog Need An Anti Bark Collar? The Shocking Truth

If you have ever lived next to a house where they had a dog that barked all night then you know what it can do to your love of animals.  You can only take so much before you start to hate dogs altogether.  Now if you have a dog that barks when you are away, you are that guy next door.  Some dogs just bark no matter what when the owner is not home.  As a good home owner and pet owner you need to do something about that.  Is a anti bark collar the simple solution?

When I heard that there was a devices known as anti bark collars I thought that it had to be a joke. I was really surprised that such things even exist. I always thought that a dog’s bark was a good thing especially if the pup is supposed to help protect the home. However, I began reading about anti bark collars and I’m barking a whole new tune.

While a dog’s bark is great for protecting the home as well as for communication, many pets may yelp excessively. We all have a friend or relative who owns a dog that really takes barking to a whole new level.  Using anti bark collars on these pets may be a real benefit. The question is whether or not the devices are humane.

I decided to do a little homework about the anti bark collars and I was pretty happy with what I found. Granted, my research isn’t complete but it does point to a positive direction for anti bark collars in general. I have to look into it a little more before I would actually recommend using one for a dear pet.

Excessive barking can ruin your friendship with your neighbors. No one wants to live next to a pet that makes noise all day and all night long. Anti bark collars are designed to help the pet curb his barking habit almost like
helping a person who bites his nails curb his biting. The approach seems to be really humane and I’ll share why I think so.

My initial reactions to the anti bark collars might stem from other products on the market that are designed to control a pet’s behavior. Shock collars were the first thing that popped into my mind. However, I discovered that
the anti bark collars work very differently and they produce excellent results.

I also like that there is research that is offered that suggests that the anti bark collars have no adverse effects on the pets. The devices use static to “correct” the dog when he barks. The static doesn’t work quite the same as a shock. It simply redirects the dog’s behavior when he is barking.

There are a couple of reasons that I’m giving the anti bark collars a little time before I buy one for my pet. First of all, I don’t know if I really want my pet’s barking under control. It just isn’t excessive enough to cause worry. However, if my pet were disruptive I might give the anti bark collars a try as a last resort.
