If you have neighbors close by or if your dog’s barking is scaring your or the neighborhood kids you may want to seriously consider a dog bark collar. Not to mention the fact that many feel safer when they see a bark collar on the dog as they are walking by and such, since many people get “scared” or nervous around animals, particularly barking dogs.

Implementing a dog bark collar for your dog’s training maybe just the solution you need. This is especially true if you have tried other training methods to no avail. It is unfortunate but collars used to control barking have over the years gotten a bad rap. There is a misconception that these collars actually harm the dog physically or psychologically. When you use these collars properly nothing can be further from the truth. There will be no adverse impact on your dog. In fact the opposite is true.

You can teach your dog when it is not appropriate to bark with a dog bark collar. When you are out taking the dog for a walk you can put the collar on, for example. This way your dog will quit barking at every car that passes by. The collar works this way. The vibrations from his vocal cords will trigger the mechanism in the collar and it will correct the dog with either an electric stimulus or a spray when your dog begins to bark. So you have two types of bark collars to choice from.

Some owners prefer the spray type of dog bark collar than the electric stimulus. With the spray type of collar the dog will receive a corrective burst of bad smelling spray to their snout when they bark. However to dogs it is a very unpleasant smell but the spray is harmless to both humans and dogs. The dog will eventually connect the idea that when they bark they get the spray and will begin to bark less.

When choosing a dog bark collar there are a couple of options. One is the citronella collar and the other is the traditional shock collar. The citronella collar is a more humane and safe way to prevent a dog from barking (in my opinion). The shock collar is a another way more aggressive approach in quieting your dog from barking.

In one way or another a dog bark collar can be effective. However, the main point here is to correct the dog bark collar by determining the main cause of the problem. Dog bark collars must be combined with the proper way of addressing the cause of dog barking once identified, to be more effective.

Sighthounds like the Greyhound, Whippets, Borzoi, and the Italian Greyhound have larger necks than heads, making it easier for them to back out of a traditional buckle collar.

Few years ago, martingale dog collars have become popular for all breeds of dogs, it is often being recommended by dog trainers as the humane alternative to traditional choke collars. For the vary largest to the very smallest, Martingale dog collars are suitable for any breed of dog. They are the “gentle choke” dog collar and are perfect for walking, training or for those very active dogs both young and old who seem to find their way out of a collar.

Martingale dog collars also have another benefit, although they are considered somewhat “escape proof”. You will find less matting and bald spots than with a traditional buckle collar and they are more comfortable for your pet, because of the way they are fitted. When the dog collar is in the closed position, the martingale collar is fitted to the exact size of the dog’s neck. If you have a non-sighthound breed, make sure to measure your dogs’ head around the widest part, because the martingale slips over the head, so there are no buckles or clips to break or come undone. A properly fitted collar will be comfortably loose when not in use, but when pulled, should be very snug yet not constrict the airway. The martingale dog collar is adjustable to grow with your puppy or to accommodate seasonal coat changes.

Martingale dog collars are designed in two separate loops, making it possible for them to tighten only a certain amount. Unlike the metal choke which has no stop, This design will prevent the collar from continuing to pull closed. This does not mean that you should ever leave a dog unattended in any collar that tightens. Far less likely to “dig” into your dogs neck and cause damage to delicate tissue, Martingales are also usually made of flat, wide webbing.

As with any collar that tightens when pulled, your dog should never be allowed to wear a Martingale Dog Collar unsupervised.

Because martingale dog collars do not damage the fur and will not crush the trachea, many dog owners prefers martingale dog collars. Because they prefer its gentle choke over the choke chain many trainers have started to recommend them. Other dog owners have learned about these style of collars and have made the switch from regular buckle collars.
