There are many dog owners who find that the natural instinct of their dogs to
bark is something that needs to be controlled. Very often, the sonic bark collar
is recommended for these situations, but are they really effective?
There is an expression that professional dog trainers like: "train the master
and you'll train the dog," which actually makes sense if you think about it a
bit. That means that if the owner doesn't understand the training, he or she
won't know what his or her dog is going through and his or her orders might be
confusing or even contradictory for the dog.
However, for those owners that understand their dogs behavior, the sonic collar
(also known as the ultrasonic collar) is a good training tool. What could be
simpler than putting a special collar on your dog to make it quiet? In a perfect
world - nothing!.
We live in an imperfect world and the rush to quieten a dog can sometimes lead
to the total miss-use of a sonic bark collar. First of all, these collars
shouldn't be put on dogs 24 hours a day, as this would cause stress to the dog.
They should only be used when normal training isn't effective and when there are
other dogs nearby whose bark can activate the collar even if your dog is quiet.
The ultrasonic bark collar usually comes with settings that you should pay
attention to. Many sonic or ultrasonic bark collars can be set to the best level
of output combined with the level of sensitivity to the barking of your dog.
The correct use of a sonic bark collar will help you teach your dog not to bark
during inconvenient times or situations.
Although it is aggreed that the best way to train a dog to stop an innapropriate
behavior is to catch it then and there. Some people wonder if the sonic collar
is effective in this way. However, if for some reason you object to the electric
and spray collars, you can always try the sonic one.
The sonic bark collar is an effective way to train your dog into stopping inconvenient barking. They are not a fast fix though. The ultrasonic bark collar works only when the owner knows how to train his or her dog.
