Facts about a Dog Bark Shock Collar
Among new dog owners the question of training their dog not to bark at the wrong time can be very difficult to answer. A dog bark shock collar is a good solution to the barking problem, but a lot of people object to them because the word “shock” brings them an image of electrocution.
Dog owners have to realize that dogs understand things like “punishment” or “reward” in a different way that humans do. Dogs don’t have a good sense of the future and they live mostly in the present, so unless you correct them at the very moment they do something bad, they won’t understand your actions. That word ‘punish’ is something else that new owners take offence at but they do not realise that a dog can be very seriously ‘punished’ simply by the tone of the owners’ voice. If the owner is berating the dog many minutes after the ‘offence’, the dog simply gets confused because it does not associate the punishment with the offence.
Instead, Use a Bark Collar!
A bark shock collar delivers a calculated static discharge when barking is occurring. The shock is fast and instantanenous and it happens at exactly the same moment the dog incurs in bad behavior. Once the dog makes the link between barking and punishment, it learns to stop the former to avoid the later. In reality, the dog is not ‘hurt’ by the shock, it is confused and ‘forgets’ to bark while trying to work out what happened.
Since it’s not painful, professionals agree that a dog bark shock collars is acceptable and efficient in teaching your dog to behave.
Since the objective is to stop only inconvenient barking, a dog bark shock collar shouldn’t be used more than 30 minutes a day, and only in situations where barking is inconvenient. Dogs are very smart animals and no more want to be punished than any other animal or person. If you simply follow the collar’s instructions that come with it, you’ll teach your dog not to bark unnecessarily in no time, and your neighbors will thank you for it.
