Re: bark collar
I have one. now that the days are getting shorter and the dog is out more in the dark she will bark at any old sound. it works for my dog and does not affect any training I do but thats me.

Re: bark collar
Start the collar at a low setting. Realize there is a learning curve so just because the dogs barks at the beginning doesnt mean it is too low. Also if your dog is conditioned to return to you with correction you will want to not have people around at first. Use in the kennel or crate. The dog will firlgure out that this has nothing to do with you...
Re: bark collar
Must better to have a collar with setting options. Those "one size fits all" can be too much for some dogs. I had one that would stimulate when the dog yawned or drank. Keep an eye on when that collar activates itself.

Re: bark collar
i dont think it is a one size fits all, it starts at the lowest level then increases stim until the barking stops,and then starts over at the lowest level?Sharon wrote:Must better to have a collar with setting options.

Re: bark collar
I stick around within earshot after application. I had a dog freak out and the yelping continued to activate the collar until I quickly removed it.

Also had bad experiences with that make of collar..If they yelp it shocks them harder, hence scream, then it gets worse....Tri Tronics makes best b collargotpointers wrote:I stick around within earshot after application.

Re: bark collar
Does eating and drinking set off a bark collar because of the throat movement?

Re: bark collar
Yes, but a good one shouldn't. It can also be set off by rubbing or bumping it against something. These problems are usually assosiated with the cheaper bark collars.RayJ wrote:Does eating and drinking set off a bark collar because of the throat movement?

If you think you can or if you think you can't, you are right either way
Re: bark collar
Tri Tronics makes and excellent collar. I also have sold and used Dogtra. I like the dogtra because it comes in 2 sizes. Shock setting is adjustable and other dogs barking don't set them off.

Re: bark collar
I personally like the SportDog bark collar. I used the tri-tronics first, but it went off a lot when my dog wasn't barking. The SportDog has a vibration and a sound sensor, and only shocks the dog when both are tripped. That way it doesn't shock the dog if it whines or growls.

Exactly.

Re: bark collar
Don't like the electric ones that shock a dog. We had the one that sprays for our Foster Brittany last summer. Worked great!
Re: bark collar
Dogtra senses the vocal cords. Works great.

Re: bark collar
Does anyone make one for Whining?
I have and had in the past dogs that don't bark but whine.
Sometimes after wearing bark collar they know NO Barking. But they then Whine sometimes very loudly.
Can be more of a nuisance than barking with neighbors.

Re: bark collar
Most of them sense the vocal cords, sounds like the dog has figured out a way to avoid the correction. Might try a remote if you are around to give a correction when whining? Up to you must be some pretty loud whining. How close are your neighbors? How about hanging a radio out in the kennel to drown out the whining. Just tune to talk radio and that will put your dogs to sleep.

Re: bark collar
we used one on one of our little dogs, it would shock then wait 10 seconds so it didnt over shock him, he soon learned to bard then wait, or just whine a bunch
My goal in life is to be as good of a person my dog already thinks I am.
