Barking dogs can be a nuisance. While just about all dogs bark occassionally to communicate, incessant barking is an uneccessary and undesirable habit. If you have a barker, you've probably looked into the option of a bark control device. From necessary spray refills to color-coded collar skins, there are variety of accessories available for your bark control collar.
Spray bark collars interrupt your dog's nuisance barking with a puff of air directed at the dog's snout. The air can be scented or not. Scented spray is generally most effective since dogs tend not to like the smell of citronella. However, some people find the citronella smell to be irritating or to aggravate allergies. While the spray is completely harmless it is effective in redirecting your dog's attention, interrupting the barking behaviour. Adding the unpleasant odor to the spray gives your dog an incentive not to bark. As he learns to associate the spray with the barking, he'll discover that he can avoid the unpleasant odor by not barking.
No bark spray collars need to be filled with either the scented or unscented spray. Each spray collar refill canister has 300-400 sprays per can, so the number of cans you'll use in a year will depend on how often your dog barks and how quickly he learns not to bark when wearing the collar.
There are also products designed to customize your dog’s no bark collar. You can choose from colorful collars and skins. Skins are colored plastic covers to help protect as well as customize your dog’s collar. These products are both fun and functional. They are perfect for pet owners with multiple dogs. Color coding your dog’s bark collar is the perfect way to discern one dog’s collar from another.
