    The Spray Bark Collar: An Alternative To The Shock Collar

     

    The anti bark spray collar is considered a humane and ethical training collar, specially when compared to other training collars, such as the sonic collar or the controversial shock collar. But, before opting for the anti bark spray collar, it is critical to understand the distinguishing factors between the conventional and the innovative spray bark collars in detail.

    The spray bark collar And Its Principle

    For those pet owners who are desperate to calm down the incessant barking of their pets and get them behaviorally trained, spray bark collars are just the most effective and viable solution. This type of anti bark collar senses the vibrations in the dog's neck that are caused by the sound of the bark, and in turn, it releases a small squirt of citronella that sprays the dog's muzzle. 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

    Benefits of the anti bark spray collar

    The anti bark spray collar is considered by dog trainers as the most humane of all training collars, since the citronella spray is neither painful nor harmful to the dog. A study that was conducted by dog trainers at the Mesa Veterinary Hospital in 2003 showed that anti bark spray collars were very effective when used to reduce excessive barking.

    Hopefully this article gives an insight into the working principle of spray bark collars. There was also some insight on the factors that you should consider when getting a spray collar. Additionally, it also enlists the advantages of spray bark collars with pertinent supportive research data.

    The spray bark collar is a good alternative to other types of training collars. Unlike the shock collar, there's no controversy attached to it. Finally, the anti bark spray collar can be bought online or in a pet store.
