Citronella Dog Bark Collar

NOTE: No one collar will work on every dog. Barking is a common
problem because so many dog breeds, especially small
dog breeds, have an innate love of barking.


Mother Nature spent generations developing a barking mechanism
in dogs. Don't be surprised if you find that behavior
difficult to stop.


If your regular training isn't working or you have to leave
your dog alone and your neighbors complain of his barking,
see if one of these collars may be the answer.




This type of collar works better for some dogs and appeals
to owners who consider electronic colars cruel and a
form of shock treatments.


Features:



  • Has a battery-operated, electronic bark-sensing unit.

  • Releasesan all-natural citronella spray when your dog barks.

  • Citrus smell os harmelss but the quick action of the spray
    mist startles and confuses your dog'ss highly developed
    olfactory sense. That may cause him to stop barking.


  • Unit includes spray control receiver and collar, citronella spray refill (additional refills sold separately),
    battery, and operations manual. Manufacturer provides
    a lifetime warranty.

  • Collar adjusts to fit necks up to 25". The collar will
    be large on most Toy breeds so you may need to manually
    shorten it. Any sewing skills you have will be handy.

  • Spray will not function at temperatures under 25 degrees
    F.

  • $89.99


Possible problems with citronella collars:



  • They are not as precise as the electronic collar reviewed
    on the previous page. Barking sets them off but it
    may not be your dog barking. They only use sounds
    to trigger the spray.

  • I've seen collars, especially the cheaper ones, emit the
    total supply of citronella in one blast. That stops
    the dog for a minute but once he resumes barking,
    there's no more citronella.


If you want an all-natural bark collar, this is a good
one to try. Again, neither the electronic nor the citornella collar is going to work on all dogs.
