Anti-bark collars

(1/4) > >>

SpokaneSlayer:
I have a quick question about anti-bark collars.  I know there are basically two kinds.  Shock and the citronella spray ones.  Which one is more effective on average.  Another point is the humaneness of shock collars.  Any info would be appreciated.

Grizzly95:
I wore my buddies shock collar once and he zapped me, they are effective! I almost pissed myself, his dog just looks at a remote and knows to listen.

FrankDown:
The thing with a shock collar is that my dog knows when its on adn when it isnt.  If he isnt wearing it then he acts accordingly.  Put it on and he behaves without having to use it.  Mine had a beeper on it so you could beep instead of shock.  Didnt use the shock part too much, used the beep part mostly.

My dog doesn't bark when we're home.  He would only have the collar on when we leave him alone.  Hopefully after a few zaps all we have to do is put it on him and not even turn it on.

If your talking about the no bark collars they are humane and very effective.  I have no experience with the citronella spray ones.  But don't buy the cheap ones, get the $99 Tri Tronics.  Your dogs will normally only test them a time or two and will not bark once they are on.  I have used them on knuckle headed hounds and they were quiet as nuns in church when they were wearing them and their normal loud booming selfs when you take them off.  Once thing is you cannot just put them on and leave them on, the nodes will rub their necks raw.  So I normally put them on when I leave my place because they know Dads gone and they won't get in trouble for barking.  I take them off when I'm home because I can step out and tell them to hush and they listen.  I put my guys up at night so they are quiet anyways.
