Amidst the existing controversies regarding the usage of shock and sonic bark
collars on pets, the choice of spray bark collars prove to be innovative and
effective among many of the pet owners today. 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
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 collar works with detectors that can sense when the dog is barking and in
turn, the collar responds by releasing a spray of cintronella that squirts the
dog's face. The spray is effective because it affects most of the dog's senses.
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.
Although there are several brands of spray bark collars, the two most popular
ones are PetSafe and Innotek. It is very much necessary to understand the subtle
differences between the existing models and the brands before opting for the
purchase of one. Some factors that you should take into account are the dog's
size and breed, as well as the collar's size, battery length, range, weight, and
of course, look.
Correlate what you need with the features and options offered by the brand/type
and opt for the one that best suits your requirements better
