Citronella anti bark collar
When you are having problems with your dog barking incessantly you could try the citronella anti bark collar. This device helps provide your dog with a consequence for its undesired behavior.
A consequence in this case can be compared with chastisement, and as with all correction on it's own it will only stop a behavior, but it does not teach your dog what it should be doing instead. For dogs that endlessly bark, you can at least try using something to interfere with the barking. If you manage to do this for a little while then your dog can be rewarded for being quiet. Some consequences that work well as interruptions consist of loud sudden noises,
shaking a tin can full of nails, a squirt of water, or a citronella anti bark collar. The citronella anti bark collar uses patented technology to deliver a harmless burst of citronella spray that interrupts your dog's barking. The spray works with four of your dog's senses -- he hears it, sees it, feels it and smells it. Citronella is a unique scent that most dogs don't normally encounter. It's non-offensive to humans, yet "unusual" enough to distract your dog from whatever he's barking at.Once you have gotten your dog to stop the barking, put into effect the plan of what dog should be doing instead. By doing this you will be training your dog to respond the desired way to a situation.
So although the citronella anti bark collar will not teach your dog to fetch a toy instead of barking at the mailman it will help give you the edge in your dog's training. And I strongly believe that it is preferable to the electric anti bark collars.
