If you talk to any people you meet on your walk about what type of Dog Bark Collar is best, chances are they tell you that these devices are cruel and inhumane treatment for the dog. Ironically however, when people say this to you, and you ask them if they’ve ever seen one, or perhaps even felt the shock these collars give, the answer is always no. Instead of talking out of experience, they’re merely passing on the same misinformation they’ve been told in the past.
The intensity of the electronic shocks delivered by these collars depends on the power of their source, or as they are powered by two penlight batteries, the intensity of the shock cannot harm a dog in any way. Luckily for dog owners, their pets don’t understand electricity and they will be startled by the shocks delivered through the dog bark collar. These collars issue aversive stimuli to surprise the dog and induce it an unpleasant feeling, not to do it any harm or pain. Anyone who has ever tried the collar to feel the shock will say there is no pain at all, even at the maximum intensity. Instead, the dog simply experiences an unpleasant feeling. Of course some people may argue that while the collars can’t harm a dog physically, they could perhaps harm the animal mentally or emotionally. This shows the misunderstanding of canine psychology, because the correction of inappropriate behavior is the basic way of learning animals dispose of.
Moreover, all the dogs will learn to avoid any correction within only a few days. As the dog bark collar first emits a warning sound and only after follows the electric shock, the dog learns in a few days to associate them. For example, if your dog barks once or twice, nothing happens, but if it continues barking, the collar makes a buzzing sound, and if the barking continues, a very mild correction is given. If the dog doesn’t stop barking, the collar is set to deliver shocks of gradually increasing intensities. Rarely will a dog continue barking long enough to receive the highest level of correction. Most of the dogs will learn in just a day or two to stop barking when they hear the warning sound.
If the Dog Bark Collar would be in any way harmful for the dog, its use would be forbidden in European countries, which have some of the strictest anti cruelty laws in the world. Up to this moment, no other more successful training method was conceived. Even professional dog trainers use the dog bark collar to train dogs to reduce their over barking, but an untrained dog owner has almost no chance of success without it. Nobody appreciates a dog that never stops barking, and in fact, many dogs end up being poisoned by angry neighbors because of it. Both the owner and the dog will be emotionally affected if law forces the owner to get rid of the disturbing dog.
Electronic collars allow dog owners who really love their dogs to find a way around this problem, and they do so in a safe and humane way
Some people say the Dog Bark Collar is cruel to use. They emit a warning beep followed by a startling shock. Countries with strict anti-cruelty laws allow the Dog Bark Collar use.
