    No Bark Dog Collars: Are They Harmful Or Harmless?

     

    There are currently three types of no bark collars commonly used on dogs. They all give good results, but you might be wondering if using them is ethical. As a dog owner, you should know about the no bark dog collar you want to use on your noisy pet.

    Spray Collars

    Some no bark dog collars work by emitting a spray of citrus smell if the dog barks for a while. Dogs don't like this smell, so they will stop barking in order to avoid it. These collars usually give a hissing sound before releasing the citrus smell, giving the dog a chance to stop the barking and saving itself from the spray. 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

    Ultrasonic or sonic dog collars will emit a high pitched tone if the dog barks. The sound is similar to the one of a dog's whistle. Humans can't hear this sound, but dogs can, and they soon learn to stop barking so that the sound goes away. Dog trainers and veterinarians see no problem with these collars, as they aren't harmful. Once again, there is no pain involved – it’s just a bit annoying for the dog. 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.

    Electronic No Bark Collars

    These collars work by delivering a small electrical shock to the dog's neck whenever it starts barking. The shock is not harmful or painful, imagine the static shock you get when you handle fabrics. Due to its name, people think that this type of collar is cruel and unethical and shouldn't be used on animals. The main reason why these people consider this collar unethical is that it actually causes a physical stimulus that can be felt by the dog. And well, some people think that's not ok. However, these collars are very effective for reducing excessive barking, so take them at least into consideration.

    There are three types of no bark collars that you can use to train your dog: citrus spray collars, sonic or ultrasonic collars, and electrical shock collars. Citronella spray and sonic or ultrasonic sounds are considered ethical, but electronic shock collars are sometimes considered unethical because of the shocking. However, none of these methods are harmful or dangerous.

    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.
