You love your dog, but their barking practices are driving you crazy? Bark Dog Collar Training System offers you a practical and completely harmless solution.

The warning tone and minor shock-induced therapy will help train your dogs to reduce their barking, especially when you’re located in urban spaces with compact living spaces. This bark collar is a safe, cost-effective and painless way of solving your dog’s bad barking habits.

The device produces a warning tone on the first bark, cautiously increasing intensity upon the next few barks your dog makes.

Every warning tone and shock sensation that your dog experiences will be associated as a warning signal for your dog that the barking is the direct cause of the discomfort.

Consequently Bark Dog Collar Training System will enable you a training system that will teach your dogs to confine their barking to a minimum. However, you should always be aware of the fact that the goal is not to disable your dogs to bark. The main purpose of the Bark Dog Collar Training System is to minimize the annoying sounds they make for every unusual object or movement they encounter in daily life.

Sorry but if they get a shock from the collar then it isn't painless. Better ways to train a dog than using anything like that . I find shock collars cruel.

If anyone reading this needs to train their dog not to bark, there are far kinder ways of doing it. A start would be to find out why the dog is barking. Let's take a simple example of wanting to alert you to something. Now, suppose you wanted to alert a friend to something but every time you tried to speak, your friend gave you an electric shock. You would stop trying to tell them but you would still have something to say, as well as the frustration of being unable to say it. And there is a strong likelihood that your friendship would be damaged. So no; I won't be investing in an aversive tool like this and sincerely hope no other dog lover will either.

Hi @barksolution8 - As you can see you will receive a very passionate response here on the forum!

I see you are an American based company. I'm not sure what the general feelings are with 'anti bark collars' in the USA but over in the UK they are most certainly frowned upon.

I did notice this on your website: Vibration comes first subsequently followed by electric stimulation.

I'm not sure what my feelings are with vibrations but electric stimulation is defiantly a no from me.

Has anyone seen/used a vibration 'anti bark collar'?

Hi

Has anyone seen/used a vibration 'anti bark collar'?

Yes. It resulted in a dog that was compliant but that was because he had shut down. Tragic.

 

[Josie]

Very sad situation.

 

[Caro Perry]

I hate these things. No way would I ever allow one to be used on a dog I own.

 

[Josie]

I actually just watched an episode of 'it's me or the dog USA' and Victoria was asked to help a lovely English Bulldog who had been scarred emotionally from using a shock collar at 5 months old!!
The owner said she stopped when it burnt a hole in her neck she then went to another trainer who told her to use a collar that sprayed citrus fluid up her nose.
The owner was just pressing the button over an over as they walked past another dog to stop her being aggressive. It was so awful to watch! The owner was completely clueless and didn't realise the damage she had caused to her own dog.

I've also had Jasper stand close to another dog and bark, setting off the other dog's bark collar :facepalm: Josie, would it be an idea to have a policy of not allowing advertisers to recommend aversive dog training devices? OTOH, it does give members the opportunity to spread the word on just how damaging they can be.

 

[JoanneF]

The citronella sprays are awful too. Apart from the fact it is a strong smell and a dog's nose is hyper sensitive, the scent lingers for ages and other dogs near the one being punished can get a blast too. But when you consider how many things a dog is doing at any given time (looking, sniffing, thinking, barking, socialising etc) he doesn't even know which he is being punished for. That's exactly why reward based training is so much more effective - at the moment the dog does what you are asking you can mark the behaviour with a click or a word and reward. Then consistent and well timed repetitions make it clear that X is the behaviour that brings the reward and you get the trained dog.

Seconded for banning adverts.

I left it because I thought it was a good topic for debate and believe that anyone reading this will soon see what a poor decision it would be to use one. If it's something that keeps cropping up I will remove it but I think it's good for people to talk about them and why they are so bad. Some new dog owners may not realise the damaging effect they cause.

 

[Caro Perry]

Here in the UK anyone can set themselves up as a trainer and behaviourist - there is no regulation.

I've only ever used positive reinforcement with Harri (with the occasional time out when I've had enough!). He has done some very "naughty" things but he's a young pup and it's my fault for leaving the vase of teasels where he could reach them...

We've had to work really hard at the walking past other dogs thing and he's still far from perfect but I'll continue to use praise and chicken rather than shocks and citronella.

 

[poptart]

I suspect the trouble is the positive approach takes time and patience. People are always looking for a quick fix.

 

[arealhuman]

I don't support removing this or similar posts - where would you draw the line? The OP isn't offering anything illegal in England, like it or not (and I know where most of us stand ). It also provides an opportunity to post an alternative view, as others have said.
