Do Bark Collars Work? And Are They Safe?
Does your dog bark way more than the shelter or breeder led you to believe? Does he bark at inappropriate times all day and night? If you are looking for tools and solutions to train your dog to stop barking, you’re probably finding a lot of information about bark collars, also known as anti-bark collars.
As training devices, all bark collars interrupt unwanted behavior such as barking so that you can redirect your dog. Each type of bark collar does so differently. Types of bark collars include vibration, static (shock), spray, ultrasonic, and combination.
To answer the question, “do bark collars really work,” the short answer is yes, they work if used properly. That said, some dog owners and trainers question whether anti-bark collars are humane, and they prefer other methods of dog training, which we’ll cover in the last section of this article.
Do Bark Collars Really Work?
Yes and no. Yes, bark collars can curb unwanted behavior in many dogs, but that doesn’t mean bark collars work on all dogs. There are several reasons why a bark collar may not help stop your dog from barking.
First and foremost, as the trainer, you must properly use the device. Failure to follow instructions on correct fit and position of the collar can hinder the collar’s usefulness, as can a lack of prompt corrections to your dog’s behavior.
Are Anti-Bark Collars Safe?
Most dog owners want to know if a bark collar is safe to use on their dogs. Anti-bark collars use an annoying ultrasonic noise (that humans can’t hear), a spray of citronella or lemon, or a quick electric shock or vibration that will cause your dog to stop in the middle of his barking.
All of the interruption stimuli except the electric shock one are brief and have no long-lasting effects.
Based on the above, the answer to whether anti-bark collars are safe is yes, except it is a shocking one. We don't recommend shocking collars as they are not humane, and can harm your dog.
BarkMute™ Collar works automatically, detecting only your dog's bark, using an ultrasound+vibration combination to deter your dog barking. It does not shock or harm your dog in any way.
Imagine a collar that stops your dog from barking aggressively and uncontrollably, a long term behavior solution, not just a quick fix and without any shock or harmful techniques.
"This has been the best purchase we have made. It does not shock the dog. It is her own bark that will set it off!"
