Dog Bark Collars, Bark Control Collar

Using theBarking Dog Collaras a training tool. Put the collar on your dog making sure that the microphone is facing your dog's neck. A good way to observe your dog's response to the spray is to put your dog in a situation where it usually barks. When your dog barks, the device should spray. (figure 10) Your dog will probably act a bit surprised and stop barking. It may jump to get away from the spray, or shake its head, or sneeze. Do not yell "NO" or say anything when your dog barks. When your dog stops barking, say, "good quiet." When the stimulus that causes your dog to bark is present, but your dog is not barking, be sure to reward the desired behavior with verbal praise "good quiet" and a food reward. If you say "good quiet" and give a treat, your dog will soon start to associate "good quiet" with not barking. After repeatedly pairing the quiet behavior with the words "good quiet," you can expect your dog to stop barking with the verbal request for "quiet." It's very important that you take the collar off and refill the spray reservoir with citronella before it runs dry. Otherwise you have taught your dog that if it's persistent, it'll be rewarded by getting rid of the spray. To avoid this, routinely refill the spray reservoir before every use. The reservoir will hold approximately 25 sprays. Where the collar can be used The collar can be used anywhere you find your dog's prolonged nuisance barking to be a problem. The collar can be used indoors or out. The spray is organic and non-toxic to humans, animals, and the environment. We strongly recommend that your dog is given free time without the collar to play and relax. This collar should not be left on dogs 24 hours-a-day.
