    Are No Bark Dog Collars Safe To Use?

     

    There are currently three types of no bark collars commonly used on dogs. They are all effective in reducing barking, but some people wonder if using these collars are ethical. If you have a dog, you should know some basic information about no bark collars before getting one for your dog.

    Citronella Spray Collars

    Some no bark dog collars emit a citrus smell if the dog barks for long. 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. Professional dog trainers and veterinarians consider the use of these collars ethical, since the dog feels no pain and can even avoid the discomfort.

    Ultrasonic/Sonic Dog Collars

    These collars emit a high pitched sound whenever 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. Again, experts and trainers don't feel that these collars are unethical, as there is no pain or injury to the dog. Dogs only get a bit annoyed, and they learn how to avoid that eventually. To get better results, don't use this collar for long periods of time, as dogs can get used to the sound and just ignore it.

    Electric No Bark Collars

    These collars give the dog a small electrical shock when it barks. The shock isn't painful, it's similar to what you feel when you handle fabrics or walk over a rug. Once again, mostly just an annoyance – but this is the type of no bark collar that some people believe is unethical. The main complaint is that this collar actually has a physical stimulus to the dog. Some people don’t like that. However, these collars are very effective for reducing excessive barking, so take them at least into consideration.

    To deter a dog from barking excessively, you can choose from no bark collars that use citronella spray, sonic or ultrasonic sounds, or electronic shocking. 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. None of these methods are considered dangerous 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.
