There are some lucky dog owners out there who own "a perfect dog" and if you are one of them than this article is not for you. However, if you are not one of "them" than you most certainly understand the meaning of "upset neighbor" and "upset landlord". So, somehow we ended up in the dilemma. On the one hand, our dog is well known barker but we love him dearly and on the other hand we have our neighbor, who truth to be told, we might not like that much, but who makes very good point when he claims that our dog disturbs him. We know it is not right. In addition we also could use some good sleep.
Is there anything in this world that can stop our dog from nuisance barking.
Well, sure enough you might have considered to buy one of those shock collars but somehow the idea that it might hurt your dog does not sit well with you. Even though many claim that this doesn't hurt puppy you still do not buy it. Somehow, your gut-feeling is that is has to be something else out there. Something safe and yet effective.. And guess what! You are right!
There is new way which is safe and humane to stop our puppy from barking and it is even much more effective than shock collar. Actually based on some studies it is double as effective as a shock collar.
It is called dog citronella collar and its effectiveness is based on the simple fact that dog does not like a smell of citronella. Dog citronella collar looks just like regular dog collar but has attached small citronella container that is equipped with bark sensing unit.
How does dog citronella work?
The power of this product lies in the fact that it is totally automated (unless we use models with remote control) and it will sense dogs barking and dispense a mist of citronella each time dog barks. This is useful and very important for our dog will not associate this with us in any way and will realize that we are the “good guy” and it pays off to listen when we call him.
Important training tip!
And simple put this is the secret. We want our dog to learn than when we call him to come that always something good happens such as he would get a yummy treat or maybe his favorite toy or even just a praise.
As we know it the timing is one of the most important thing in positive dog training and citronella collar accomplishes this by dispensing a spray of citronella immediately when our dog barks and as the result our dog learns very quickly that his barking earns him this annoying spray and will stop barking to avoid this annoying spray.
Which dog citronella collar model is right for my puppy?
We can find many different dog citronella models on the market. Some of them can even be activated remotely via remote control and therefore could be used as a great training tool to correct many other problem behaviors such as jumping, digging, running away, not coming when called, chewing and many more.
