The Free Secret Powerful Filter Found in Every AquariumWrittenBy:General
Written By:Kurt Dinn The citronella bark collar sprays citronella from underneath your dogs chin whenever it barks. The collar has a microphone in it and when the sound of barking is heard the spray is released. It is said that dogs do not like the scent and this will stop them from barking, it is like behavior modification. The sensitivity of the microphone in the citronella bark collar can be adjusted because you would not want your dog to be sprayed every time another dog barked. This would be punishing your dog for something they did not do and that is not good training. There are some issues with the citronella bark collar staining upholstery and wood furniture. The choice is up to you. If your dogs barking is so bad that the neighbors are complaining and you might get fined, than maybe it is worth it. If you see that your dog is barking at absolutely everything maybe they are bored. I heard that from my vet. He suggested talking my dog for more walks or playing with him more often. Since my dog likes to pull when we walk, I tried the easy walk harness for these frequent walks and it did a great job. Walking more often also helped stop the barking. I don't know if he stopped because he was tired, or if it was because he was really just bored. Which ever one it was doesn't matter because now he only seems to bark at the serious things and I never had to try the citronella bark collar. You might not be able to take your dog out more often than you already do, or more walking might not be what your dog needs. You can try playing with them more often, this might solve the boredom problem. Or maybe that is not why your dog is barking too much at all. If none of that works you can always try the citronella bark collar. Sandra Gaffney is a freshwater aquarium expert. For more great tips on |
