It can be tough to find a humane Bark Control Collar for dogs larger than 8 lbs, but they do exit, and PetSafe knows how to offer the right collar for the right kind of dog.
There are lots of different kinds of dogs, some never need to be trained when to bark and when not to, but some, just don’t get it, perhaps they spend too little time with other people or too much time indoors, whatever the case, small timid dogs and large huffy dogs, can all discover that scare adrenaline is for emergencies only by using a bark control collar for a few hours a day during peak useless barking hours.
Remember, these were not developed to substitute Fluffy or Rovers dog collars, but are used as training aids only. More than eight hours a day with any bark control collar would be inhumane, and psychologically scar your furry family member for life, perhaps even driving them insane, or perhaps, just rendering the item useless.
So use them properly and your pooch will quickly realize it doesn’t need to cry for mommy and daddy every second of the day or night because it is scared or lonely, and that life will go on without barking all the time for no reason.
A humane bark control collar is one that mimics nature, and in nature, dogs roam in packs, much like the wolf still does till this very day, and when out of line, the leader bites the offending dog accordingly (usually in soft tender areas, ouch!). Once, maybe twice… But the pack leader is consistent, This is what happens when you do that, I am in charge here, and I am worthy to be followed. just like PetSafes bark control collar, consistence for owners who find it difficult to do so.
Mostly, this was invented to keep owners from doing very inhumane things like kicking or screaming with their dogs (very non-packleader-like things to be doing by the way).
Measuring 6 x 2.8 x 8, weighs only 1.4 ounces and ships at 6.4 ounces, this particular bark control collar comes with six levels of correction, is waterproof, low battery indicator, manual and accompanying video.
A bark control collar will not harm your pooch in anyway if you use the right collar for the right sized dog, but rather, make him or her more self-reliant and able to stand their own ground. It doesn’t take long and it really does communicate in doggy language, on doggies level, with the consistency of a true and honorable pack leader.
