Citronella collar spray stops barking in many dogs. These collars apparently do not stop barking in all dogs. Let's face it, there are some real hard heads out there. Then there are some dogs that may be so slow-witted they don't associate the negative consequences of the collar with the barking. In any case, here is the way a spray collar works.

The MultiVet Anti-Bark Spray Collar, Citronella was the one we ordered and tested. The test subject was our high energy field type English Cocker Spaniel. No way we would subject this dog to a shock collar. She just needed to know that the barking was getting out of hand. She didn't seem capable of following our carefully phrased instructions to tone it down.

The collar working part is just a small black box that fits on the collar underneath the dogs head, on the front of the neck. The small box, about 2 inches square, includes a sensor, an oil reservoir and the spray pump.

Instruction said to put the collar on for a few days before turning it on. That's what we did, though we were past ready to give it a go.

When we finally armed the sprayer, the first bark produced a fine cloud of mist completely engulfing the dog's head. There is no spray of liquid, just a misty cloud, that's all. The second bark produced the same result and that was it. Two barks and then silence reigned. It's been much like that for about two months now.

The collar is only used occasionally. For the most part the spray collar isn't on and when it is on only part of the time is it armed. The dog learned that barking overly much was not desired. She took the hint and shut up most of the time. We didn't want her to quit barking. We just wanted her to control it.

Citronella collar results for us are completely positive. It's an inexpensive collar and may not work for all dogs. It worked for the one we tried it on though. The Multi-Vet Anti-Bark Spary Collar worked perfectly. worked perfectly.

How can I make my dog stop barking without using dog collars (eclectic)?

Often, this behavior can be stopped simply by going to the dog and reassure it's all good, if any intruders. Make sure to praise the dog when she warns the proper strange. ~ ~ ~ ~ Teach your dog does not bark foreigners (the paperboy, mailman) is more difficult to do because it needs the assistance of the person.

Alternatively, you can get the odd "to give your dog a Treatment with the mail slot of his door.

Some, or maybe most dogs will at an early age start to bark at their owners for attention. Most owners, through a lack of knowledge or out of frustration and impatience, would then respond by either calling the dog to them and trying to calm it, or by yelling at the dog to stop barking. This is exactly what the dog wanted. It does not take long for the dog to realise that if he barks, he receives attention.

If this attention barking is not stopped within the first couple of days, the dog may develop a habit of bark-for-attention. This unwanted behaviour can even develop to such a degree that it can be classified as a compulsive disorder. The best way to stop this from happening is to prevent it to become a habit in the first place. This should be done within the first day or two.

If this barking behaviour is a mild attention-seeking activity, just avoiding reinforcement may be enough to stop it. In other words it may be enough for the owner to just ignore the dog. The dog will realise that no attention is given and will stop his barking.

If, on the other hand, his barking has been rewarded a few times even by yelling at him, he might be more persistent. It might then be necessary to reward alternate behaviours. The owner could use a clicker and click for every period of silence, even if it is only a second or two. He can later demand a longer period of silence before clicking and add a cue to the silent behaviour.

Some dogs do not only bark for attention. Especially dogs that are left alone for hours at a time, will start barking out of boredom. With breeds like Border Collies and Australian Shepherds an increase in mental and physical exercise might be enough to stop the barking.

Other bark-stoppers that professional trainers use are:

• A shaker can. You can fill a can with pebbles or coins and when the dog starts barking, you shake the can. The noise will startle the dog and he will stop barking. At that very moment, click and treat the dog.

• Spray bottle. The concept works exactly the same as the shaker can. Fill the bottle with water and when the dog barks, spray him with water. He will stop barking for a moment and then you must click and treat the dog.

• Bark Collar. Bark collars use both vibration and sound sensors (dual-detection) to discriminate each bark from other external noises. A Static Correction is administered through the Contact Points only if both the vibration from the vocal chords and the sound from the bark match the same criteria.

• Spray Bark Collar. A spray bark collar targets your dog's ultra-heightened sense of smell for immediate results. Each time your dog barks, the microphone will detect the barking and the bark collar releases a harmless spray.

To be successful at training your dog not to bark, you must be very consistent. Use positive reinforcement methods when you train the dog. The best is to stop the unwanted behaviour before it becomes a habit.

Dog Training Collars

What is the best way of humanity (no shock collar) to train a dog barking?

With a 4-year lab likes to barking. I would like to end this bad habit before it takes!

Citronella collars are fully human, and twice as effective that shock collars ... providing a mist of citronella scent to the dog's face when the dogs bark ... are naturally repelled by citronella, does not take long for the dog to associate its bark with this smell like much. That said ... If your dog is kept outside, boredom is most likely barking, demanding attention. Stimulation is important for dogs to exercise daily, gambling and mental health. Outside dogs three times the working dogs inside because it is much harder to anticipate these needs when your dog is not always there. If your dog is inside, be careful what they took to barking ... is that traffic, the tone of frustration? You can try to avoid the stimulus or can the dog's condition to accept the incentive as usual. There are several ways to do the easiest thing is to identify the cause, and to teach the dog that barks in response the issue is unacceptable. I was just in a company represent the tip of my finger, and tell my dog barking and acting like you really mean to stop barking. If you are firm and consistent, the dog will soon realize that we not let the crust. The citronella collar, I save for when they are unable to be at home, and leaving only the "cover" so that their absence.

Shock Bark Collar

Has anyone found an effective bark collar for a small dog?

I have a miniature poodle - about 8 pounds with a really skinny neck. He barks in the morning when I leave for work. I have tried a beeping collar, which worked for awhile, and a shock collar (petsmart) which I don't think ever shocked him even when he barked. Please recommend a specific brand and model. I'm sick of buying and returning collars, and I don't want to upset the neighbors anymore! Other suggestions to keep him from barking are appreciated as well. I try to exercise him regularly and distract him with peanut butter treats when I leave.

Please DO NOT debark your dog like someone suggested. That is one of the cruelest things you can do. Training usually does the trick for barking, but it takes time,patience, and consistency. That's the only way your dog is really going to learn in my opinion. But if you have to use a collar, use the more humane citronella collar...it sprays a scent that dogs don't like. http://www.clickersolutions.com/articles/2001b/citronella.htm

Do you have a pet dog? If you have, then you know that a barking dog can be quite a nuisance that disturbs and startles pedestrians. If you have a loud pet, then you are also aware that keeping your neighbors awake at night is also a big no-no. A dogÂ’s bark can be irritating, even for the dog's loving owner. Wayward dogs in need of gentle, human correction can be cured by barking collars. However, you have to make sure that you understand why your dog is barking before you start a barking collar treatment.

A dog may bark constantly because of several things. A dog will inevitably bark if the animal is kept in an area that is fenced off, but with a clear view of annoyances like loud cars and noisy kids. Things will only get worse if you have a neighbor who regularly walks by, and perpetually yells at or scares your pet. You should talk to the neighbor and ask him to treat the dog properly if this is the case with your pet.

Hunger, thirst, excessive heat and cold can make your pet an overly vocal canine. Remember that dogs need food, water, and a cozy indoor spot during extreme weather. Barking collars may be your last resort if you've checked all of the above possibilities. Some people may either consider barking collars humane or inhumane, but I‘ll tell you about all of them for the sake of information.

Spray barking collars are popular devices that can reduce your dogÂ’s barking. This collar has a device in the front that is positioned directly beneath the dogs' chin. An unpleasant smelling spray is emitted whenever the dog barks. Dogs don't like a spray in their noses, and the sound may also startle them. This treatment is considered by most to be humane because it is not painful.

Choke barking collars are considered safe but these collars may be scary for your dog. This collar automatically constricts, in a choking action when the dog barks. It has a sensor that detects the correct width at which to close. However, these barking collars can malfunction and choke the dog to death.

People consider shock barking collars cruel and inhumane so they are not commonly used today. This device may also cause a negative effect on the dog. This is because a dog will develop an association with what or who caused him to bark. For instance, if a child causes the dog to bark which will then cause the collar to chock the animal, then you may have a dangerous situation. Since a dog doesn't know barking is wrong, the animal may think that looking at that person or object is wrong. A dog may associate the child with his pain, and may attack him as soon as the collar comes off.

My dog chews on every sago palm tree in our yard - no other plants. Is there something about them?

Our dog seems attracted to destroy our sago palms. She chews the frawns and then the new growth as it comes out. Is there a scent or taste that is known to attract dogs.

Please read the website
Better stop it before it get to the seeds, here are some sad stories about people loosing there dogs to the sago palm seeds
Palm trees can be deadly to dogs if eaten, and even to children

http://www.doggienews.com/2005/02/sago-palm-trees-are-poisonous-to-dogs.htm

Dog toys are essential to keep your dog occupied to stop barking problems, boredom issues and through teething times for your dog. Finding a good toy for your dog through these times is essential, leaving your dog with a bad chew toy that they don’t like will leave your dog with no option but to chew something else, there are many chew toys available so the choice is endless.

Dental health for your dog will be greatly improved by chewing toys so it is important to keep your dog interested in the toy choice you give them. Popular toys usually contain something that tastes good, smells good, some light up, and others make noises to keep you dog entertained. If the toy is fun for your dog then you can use it to reward your dog for good behavior or take it from them when they are bad.

Different Dogs enjoy different textures and tastes, you will need to find what your dog likes to chew and try your best to find a similar product but without it being as destructive to your house like their old toy, the table leg, was.

Avoiding tugging toys may be a good idea in some cases, more excited breeds of dog and puppies especially will get the message that tugging is fun for you as well as your dog, thus encouraging him to tug at you trouser legs when they’re in need of attention and curtains when they’re bored. Personally I would avoid theses toys.

When looking for a good toy for your dog, here are some good suggestions:

1. Look for a dog toy with something different like sound, taste, or lights.

2. Pick a dog toy that is tough enough to withstand your dogs chewing and biting

3. Choose dog toys that you think your dog will enjoy, using experience of what he normally chews is a good idea.

Remember that choosing a dog toy all depends on the dog in question, each dog will have different tastes and experiences of what they enjoy, something as cheap and simple as a tennis ball could be enough to keep your dog occupied for hours on end.

Barking Dog
What to do when neighbor complains about barking dog?

My neighbor works at night and sleeps during day time. The complain is that my dog barks during day time disrupting her sleep. I already received a warning from the city.
Due to this I have bought a spray no bark collar for the dog to reduce the barking.

I would suggest going round to speak to your neighbour. Apologise about the problem and explain what you are doing to try and stop this to them.

Make sure you enrol your dog in a training class, and mention this to your neighbour. This way it shows you are trying to sort it

Dog Barking is, of course, a natural behavior for dogs. However, when the dog barking becomes endless, it can drive you crazy. That is the first sign that there is more than likely something wrong. A barking dog is usually trying to tell you something is wrong. Of course, sometimes it can be just a bad development of the dog's behavior. Either way, when you want to stop dog barking, there are a few different things that you can try. Remember, dogs are like people and not everything is going to work for every dog.

 

Dog Barking is not something that you are going to want to stop forever. After all, a barking dog is sometimes just trying to alert you or trying to tell you something is uncomfortable. So it's not that we want them to never bark again, but we want them to stop barking when we tell them to stop. This is why it's very important to train your dog the quiet command. All dogs are able to learn commands, it just takes time on our part to teach it to them. When working with your dog to stop dog barking (as well as dog biting), you have to know the right away to train them. This usually involves rewarding the good behavior (like when you tell the dog quiet, and it stops barking) and reprimanding the bad behaviors (in which they did not listen to your command).

 

So here is how you can teach your dog the quiet command to help stop dog barking. First, get your dog to start barking, which in this case should be pretty easy. After the dog barking starts, hold a treat over them and say the word quiet. It really does not matter which word you choose. However, whichever word you choose, you have to use it all the time. Then when the barking dog stops to sniff the treat, give it to him and praise him for being quiet. Then you can repeat this and every time keep the barking dog quiet for longer. Soon you will be able to use the quiet command without having a treat in your hand. Dog obedience takes time, but is important to establish guidelines of respect and understanding with your favorite pet.

 

Dog barking is something that is hard to live with, and you should not have to. So if the quiet command does not stop the barking dog, then you may have to go with different products that are made to help stop dog barking. Usually these are things that you put around their neck that gives them a small shock when the dog starts to bark. Living with dog barking is hard, but now you do not have to!

Excessive barking may be so annoying, most especially if you can't seem to stop your dog from doing it. If you are one of these unfortunate pet owners, then don't lose hope because there are tricks to actually stop your dog from barking.

Before you begin your training session however, be prepared to be more patient with your dog. The key here is communication, and your dog has a better chance of understanding you if you are actually more patient in training it.

Reasons Why a Dog Barks

Remember the cause and effect phenomenon? A similar concept is also present in Physics, and that is through the Theory of Inertia. While the said theory may be a little bit too technical for this discussion, the concept it teaches you is: there's a force (reason) to which an object stays in motion. In dog-owner speak, this means that your dog has a reason for barking.

Having said this, you should be glad to know that your dog isn't simply going nuts. Some dogs really are more prone to barking than others. Knowing your dog's traits will help you extend your patience when it comes to dealing with the noise it makes.

Some dogs bark because they want attention. More specifically, it's asking for your attention. Also, there are dogs that bark because of unwanted factors in their surroundings. Their barking is their way of warning you that there is an intruder. It may also be that your dog is trying to tell you that you should be aware of something or someone.

Barking Anti Bark
Have you used one of those anti-bark collars that uses the spray (I think it's citronella) rather than shock

to get your dog to stop barking? How well do they work? Is there anything cruel or unusual about this type of collar?

Yes. The Shelter I work for suggests these collars ( citronella ) for people having problems with barking dogs. They work very well. The strong odor affects the dogs because of their strong sense of smell. My friend , who is a vet, uses it on her Great dane. Its very rare he actually gets sprayed because it usually just takes one or two times, and the dog doesn't wanna bark with it on. Very effective product, I highly reccomend it

EDIT IG64... citronella does not have a lasting odor. Once sprayed the odor goes away very quickly, thats the reason they use citronella in the collar. The few hundred dogs that I have seen with these collars on react to the initial spray, then they are not bothered after that. And it does not spray on the face of the dog, it sprays a mist in front of the dog, its designed not to spray directly in the dogs face

A dog that barks all day and night can ruin your life and make war with your neighbors.

There is a huge range of training collars for dogs and a vociferous debate among owners and trainers as to whether these collars are humane and effective or whether they are cruel and counterproductive.

Different types of collar are used for different purposes. The two main uses are for distance control, when the dog is out of the trainer's immediate reach and is not on a leash and the second aim is to control excessive barking.

The distance training collar enables the trainer to administer a shock to the dog, by using a handheld transmitter which causes an electric pulse in the collar. This distracts the dog from whatever undesirable behavior it is currently doing and lets the trainer get his attention.

Critics of these collars maintain that they are inhumane and hurt the animal, partly because it is difficult to know how severe the pain is. This can disorientate the dog, so that it doesn't associate the shock with the desired effect. Such confusion is obviously counterproductive.

For instance, your dog won't come when you call him and pays you no attention, so you clicj the remote. He may well associate the pain with being called, so every time you call him you provoke a nervous or aggressive reaction, depending on the dog's temperament.

If the dog has a naturally aggressive nature he may attack you, because he sees you as the source of his discomfort and the fear that you are hostile to him. If the dog has a nervous disposition and doesn't realise why he is being punished, this will only make him worse.

That's the case for the prosecution. There will be many people who claim that one of these collars has saved their dog' life. They cite cases, where a normally obedient dog has one undesirable trait which cannot be controlled, such as chasing cars or bikes, or worrying farm animals.

If they can instantly stop this bad behavior, even from a distance, then this can save the dog's life.

Another huge area of the market for control collars is aimed at stopping or controlling excessive barking. These products are different from the distance control collars, because they are not activated by the owner but by the dog itself.

There are broadly three categories of anti-barking collar: those that emit a spray, that the dog finds objectionable: those that emit a high-pitched noise, which humans can't hear: and those that administer a static shock, similar to the distance collars described above.

These collars are often worn by the dog when the owner is not present, for instance to stop a dog from barking while the owner is out at work. This situation can cause its own set of problems. If the dog is exposed to this unpleasant or painful stimulus for hours at an end, what state will he be in when you get home?

If you have the time, the patience and the knowledge, then by far the best solution is to train your dog to bark at appropriate times and to get him to "Speak and be "Quiet" on command. There are plenty of excellent training courses available at reasonable prices. More details in the links below.

However, if all else fails, you may want to choose from these three types of anti-barking collar.

1) Citronella Spray Collar: This works by spraying a mist of citronella in front of the dog's nose. Citronella is a colorless or light yellow liquid with a distinctive smell of wood or grass, which dogs find offensive but people quite like it. The spray is triggered when the dog barks.

Citronella is not quite as innocuous as the manufacturers may infer. The MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) for this product states: "Used as an insect repellent : Physical data - Appearance: colourless or light yellow liquid with characteristic odour of wood or grass : Flammable : Toxicology - May be harmful if ingested in quantity. May act as a skin or eye irritant".

2) Sonic Control Collar: This is an electronic collar which emits a high-pitched sound, when triggered by the barking. The sound is above the frequency audible to human ears but the dog finds it annoying and is discouraged from barking. These devices usually have a control to adjust the sensitivity.

3) Electric Shock Collar: Not normally described by the manufacturer or the retailer in these terms but that is what it does. This would appear to be the least popular of the three products, precisely because it causes the dog some degree of pain and it is difficult for the owner to appreciate how severe that pain is.

Get it right and you'll have friendly neighbors, peaceful nights and a happy dog!
