    The Basics Of A Dog Bark Shock Collar

     

    One of the most common problems that new dog owners face is teaching their pets not to bark at the wrong time. A bark shock collar is a good solution to the barking problem, but a lot of people object to them because the word "shock" brings them an image of electrocution.

    First of all, owners have to understand that the concept of "punishment" is different to dogs than it is to humans. Dogs don't have a good sense of the future and they live mostly in the present, so unless you correct them at the very moment they do something bad, they won't understand your actions. That word ‘punish’ is something else that new owners take offence at but they do not realise that a dog can be very seriously ‘punished’ simply by the tone of the owners’ voice. If the owner is berating the dog many minutes after the ‘offence’, the dog simply gets confused because it does not associate the punishment with the offence.

    Does a Bark Collar Work?

    A dog bark shock collar works by delivering a small static discharge to the dog's neck whenever it starts barking. The shock is instantaneous and since it happens when the dog barks, the dog is much more likely to make a better connection betweeen bad behavior and punishment. Most dogs will soon learn that barking will be punished and will control their impulse. The dog's natural resistance and thicker skin prevents it from feeling pain; in fact, it's the confusion caused by the static shock that makes it stop barking while it wonders what is happening.

    Far from being cruel, a shock bark collar is the only way that an immediate message can be sent to your dog when it behaves incorrectly and, by repetition, teaches your dog how not to be punished.

    A bark shock collar shouldn't be used more than 30 minutes a day, and only at times where barking would be troublesome. Dogs are smart and they will learn to stop "bad" barking in order to avoid the punishment once they figure out the link between the barking and the shock. A dog's bark collar comes with instructions, and if you just follow them, your dog will stop inconvenient barking in no time.


    A bark shock collar has a reputation of being cruel. Nevertheless, the shock is rather harmless and panlessl and it only confuses the dog a little. On the other hand, using a dog bark shock collar will help you train your dog and avoid invonvenient barking.
