We see our dogs as our best friends but sometimes we get irritated with it - especially in regard to its continuous excessive barking which certainly tests the friendship.
In fact, many towns have disturbance laws against loud, prolonged noise, such as that created by barking dogs.
There are lots of ways owners do to eliminate this excessive barking like surgical remedies but it is too expensive.
This also completely and permanently eliminates a dog's natural ability to bark which is negative to our canine friend.
Petsafe Spray Bark Control Collar is an inexpensive, humane, but effective solution to excessive barking.
This is easy to operate just place the battery in the receiver collar and attach it around your dog's neck.
When your dog barks, a burst of all-natural citrus spray is emitted, which dogs find bothersome to their highly developed sense of smell.
Your dog's natural curiosity will be to seek the origin of the new odor.
The spray is unpleasant to your dog while the lemon scent is pleasing to you.
This is not harmful and is sufficient deterrent to excessive barking.
The spray is non-toxic and the units are rated for dogs as small as puppies.
However no tools or any bark collar can be compared to a good training.
If you want your dog to behave properly, each and every time your dog stops barking, whether it is because he/she was sprayed or not, you must praise him/her.
Praise for silence is more effective than sprays for barking.
The whole purpose of the spray is to interrupt the barking and distract the dog for that small fraction of a second of silence you need to squeeze in the praise for silence.
