Every person that has a dog needs to make sure that the dog is properly trained. A dog should be calm and not jump up on guests when they come in the front door. It should also not be constantly barking. Excessive barking can cause you problems with your family or your neighbors.

The constant barking, when it’s not related to health problems, might make it impossible for people in the house to enjoy a simple conversation, at which point a citronella bark collar becomes almost a necessity.

Citronella Bark Collar? What’s That?

The citronella bark collar is becoming popular among dog lovers. It’s the collar that’s preferred by people who don’t agree with other methods of anti bark correction, specially those that involve static electricity. This collar does not work by hurting your dog to make him stop barking. Instead, a small spray of citronella shoots out from the collar in front of their nose.

The moment the dog senses this new smell, its natural curiosity will kick in and the dog will try to find out where the smell came from. This will make them immediately stop barking and can keep them amused for quite some time, or at least long enough until they have forgotten they were barking in the first place.

Over time the dog will learn that every time they bark, the collar sprays the citronella. The smell won’t hurt the dog, of course, yet the dog will know that the only way to keep that smell away is by not barking when not necessary. This collar has been selling well because it’s harmless and painless for dogs. This “gentle” aspect of the collar, combined with its effectiveness is what makes the collar so liked by dog owners.

The citronella bark collar can be found in almost every pet supply store, among other types of anti bark collars. The ultrasonic bark collar for instance is a different take on the citronella version. It will not harm your dog either but instead of using a spray of citronella to peak your dog’s interest it uses a high pitched sound that only you dog can hear.

Humans will not be able to hear this sound, which is a good thing in this case, because you won’t have to hear a beep in addition to the barking every time your dog goes wild. Otherwise, it would be even more difficult to be in the presence of the dog.

Another advantage of the citronella bark collar is that it’s relatively cheap and doesn’t require you to invest a lot of time, unlike other anti barking choices.
