My dog used to keep me up all through the night. To begin with, I had believed that it would be a good idea to get a canine which was active enough to make a great watchdog, making sure that any intruders were alerted to the truth that this was not the place which they should be breaking in to. But my yippy little beagle, regrettably, did the job just a tiny bit too well. He barks not only at mail men, visitors, children walking by down the street, and autos which drive by, but at squirrels, butterflies, & apparently at the wind going through the grass. Anything that makes the slightest little bit of movement at all will attract his attention and cause him to bark and bark. I tried locking him outside for the night, but that only made the matter worse. Now he would not only disturb me, but also all of the neighbors as well with his constant and insistent noises.

I had been against anti bark collars for awhile, but eventually I decided that enough was enough. The thing about anti bark collars that troubled me most was that they were so inhumane. If you do not like canine habits, be they panting, drooling, barking, or sniffing at your bottom, I reasoned, you should not get a canine. Getting an anti bark collar which would shock him every single time he barked just seemed like a callous fix for your own over-sight in getting an animal which you were not prepared to adequately take care of on the first hand. But still, the temptation of anti bark collars was getting pretty compelling after, one single night, he woke me no less than six times, and almost got the cops called.

I did some research on the anti bark collar I was investigating and found out that they don't all just use electricity. There are types of an anti bark collar that, instead of using an electric shock, emit a high pitched noise which bothers a canine's sensitive hearing, & stops it from barking by the disagreeable sensation. Regrettably, these forms of anti bark collars also seemed pretty brutal, & I felt like I just had to find another solution to the problem. I discovered citronella anti-barking collars, which seemed just flawless. Rather than shocking a dog or hurting its ears, these anti bark collars just emit a burst of citronella, which is overwhelmingly high-powered & bizarre for a canine. It confuses him, and makes him temporarily stop his always barking.
