Collar | Our Rating | |
|---|---|---|
We all love our pooches; they complete our families. Just like human kids, our pet dogs go notoriously vocal.
It can be for various reasons like a health condition, to ward off the threat or just pure boredom. The dogs tend to express with their barks. A few breeds like Basset Hounds and Beagles love to bark and howl without any reason!!
These barks and howlings annoy us easily. While few dogs can go so crazy to attract your neighbors, some others just sit and howl making you pop a headache pill!
Bark collars come into picture when you are willing to counter such a situation. These are the collars specially designed for dogs to control their barking.
Types of bark collars
1. Electric Bark Collar (Static Bark Collars):
This type of collars stop a dog from barking by giving it mild electric shock when the vocal chord generates any sounds.
Not worry about the shocks, they are ultra mild. This type comes with metal prongs on the collar to provide vibration shocks.
These bark shock collars work on a dual mode of vibrations and incremental shocks at different levels depending on noise levels. These are the most preferred bark collar for large dogs.
2. Citronella Bark Collars (Spray Bark Collars):
This is a non-electric type of no bark collars that do not use any shocks. They work on the spray mechanism.
When a dog barks, a spritz of citronella scent releases from the collar. Citronella is a scent which even in mild quantity can displease a dog of any size. Therefore, spray collar is best to make a dog stop barking.
These are the best bark collar for small dogs and puppies. If you are looking for some positive corrections method, citronella collar is best.
3. Vibration Bark Collars (Static Bark Collars):
These are also a type of electric bark collar which uses only vibration mechanism for corrections.
The collar vibrates at various intensities to match the dog barks to make them silent. Some of these bark collars come with remote to control the modes of vibrations and allows you to give corrections manually.
4. Ultrasonic Bark Collar:
This type of anti bark collars produce high pitched ultrasonic sounds unpleasant to dogs and make them stop barking.
The sounds produced by this system are not audible by humans and making it very silent correction method!

The collar fits dog of all sizes and is super adjustable belt type. The ones who have used this are happy that this solved their problems while few have complaints regarding sudden shocks when the battery is low.

It starts minimal vibrations and increments through the available 6 levels each time the dog barks.
When the bark stops, this collar will reset itself automatically to the most minimal vibration level again. When the barks repeat once more, the procedure will begin once again from the lowest level.
With every variation of vibrations, the beeper in collar indicates the mode changes taking place to alert the dog owner to know the level of correction given.

If one decides to buy a collar, we would definitely give our thumbs up to Dogtra brand YS300. It comes with a remote control which keeps the situation in control instead of getting paranoid when the collar gives false shocks to dogs.
