Citronella Bark Collars - For Difficult Dogs

By Sylvia Manchester


Dogs bark. It doesn't take a genius to know that this is how they communicate - with their fellow dogs, other animals, and humans. When dogs bark, they may be calling out to a dog of the opposite sex, eager for attention and a chance at mating. They may be chasing off a cat, a rat or some other pest in the area. Or they may be warning their owner that there is a stranger outside.

When dogs bark when they're supposed to bark, the use of citronella collar is uncalled for. However, there are times when a dog's barking turns excessive, causing great annoyance to its owner, the neighbors, and everyone who's within hearing range. This usually happens when a dog is left untrained, allowed to bark whenever it pleases just as it does other things, like peeing inside the house and eating out of the garbage can.

If you have such a dog in your house, it is time that you take appropriate steps to prevent it and rid the dog of its bad habits. One of the most effective ways to do this is through the use of a citronella collar.

Presented below are certain facts about the citronella collar.

What exactly is a citronella dog collar?

Well, in looks it pretty much resembles your average dog collar. In function, however, this collar is anything but ordinary. When the citronella collar is around your dog's neck and turned on, it releases a small amount of citronella spray every time your dog barks.
