Is It Cruel or Inhumane to Use a Dog Bark Collar?

By Deborah Grimato


If you talk to any people you meet on your walk about what type of Dog Bark Collar is best, chances are they tell you that these devices are cruel and inhumane treatment for the dog. If you want to find out why are these collars cruel, they cannot explain, but if you insist you'll find out that these people have never experienced the shocks and have not even seen such a collar. These people have been told by others such things and they didn't verified the information, they just pass it on to anyone who listens.

The intensity of the electronic shocks delivered by these collars depends on the power of their source, or as they are powered by two penlight batteries, the intensity of the shock cannot harm a dog in any way. The dog bark collar is effective only because dogs don't understand electricity and are startled by the electric shocks. These collars issue aversive stimuli to surprise the dog and induce it an unpleasant feeling, not to do it any harm or pain. Any responsible dog owner will try the collar to experience what the dog will feel, and they all can say there is no pain at all, no matter the intensity. Of course the dog won't like the feeling of neither the beep, nor the electric shock. Opponents of the use of bark collar will continue arguing, they will say the collars may harm the dog mentally or emotionally. This shows the misunderstanding of canine psychology, because the correction of inappropriate behavior is the basic way of learning animals dispose of.

Moreover, all the dogs will learn to avoid any correction within only a few days. The dog bark collar is built to issue a buzzing sound to warn the dog before delivering the shock, and the dog will quickly associate them. No correction is applied at the first barks; if barking continues, a beeping sound is emitted, and if barking still continues, a mild shock is delivered. If the dog ignores the correction, the following will be more intense and so far up to the highest level. There are rare cases of dogs that continue barking long enough to receive the highest level of correction. Most of the dogs will learn in just a day or two to stop barking when they hear the warning sound.

In European countries function the strictest anti cruelty laws in the world, but the use of the Dog Bark Collar is allowed. Up to this moment, no other more successful training method was conceived. Even professional dog trainers use the dog bark collar to train dogs to reduce their over barking, but an untrained dog owner has almost no chance of success without it. It is possible that some of the angry neighbors to poison your dog if it barks continuously and you don't do anything to stop it. Dog owners can be forced by law to get rid of the annoying pet, and this will psychically distress both of them.

The electronic dog bark collar is a safe and humane device that can help dog owners to solve the barking problem of their beloved pets.
