Canine Anti-Barking Devices

talalogoa


Q.  One of my dogs barks constantly in the kennels and a neighbour has complained about noise.  How can I stop him?  Someone said I should try an anti-bark collar.  Are they effective?

A.  Excessive dog barking can be nuisense to owners and neighbours alike and the most effective solution to reduce barking are anti-barking spray collars. How do they work? Every time your dog barks, the electronic bark-sensing unit releases a spray in front of the dog’s snout. Your dog hears it, sees it, feels it, and smells it. The dog will very quickly learn that when he or she barks, the spray collar sprays. Through this conditioned reflex, the anti-bark spray collar discourages your dog from barking. In a few days, the dog learns to keep quiet while wearing the collar and concentrate on more normal activities.

Unlike other products, the ability to make sensitivity and bark frequency adjustments reduces the likelihood of the unit being triggered by noises other than barking. Dogs soon learn that the uncomfortable ultrasonic sound produced by the unit is as an immediate result of its barking.
Please note that dogs with hearing difficulties may well ignore the sounds emmitted. This is also true where the problem environment has alot of other loud noises close to the dogs.
Please note that in cases where two dogs are barking the use of a spray collar may be more appropriate (see related items below). This minimises the both animals being punished when only one may be barking.
As with all anti-bark products, they do not deal with the underlying causes of the dog’s barking. This should be dealt with at the same time as using this product. If within a two week period you have not noticed a significant reduction in the overall amount of barking, especially at night, then you have a more serious barking problem than just simple unnecessary nuisance and you will need to seek help from a dog behaviourist.

The latest product designed to control dogs’ nuisance barking. This is not bark control collar!! Bark Free doesn’t attach to the dog and does not use shocks to correct behaviour. Bark Free sits on the counter or mounts outdoors (in a dry area). It uses a specially designed speaker that picks up a dog’s bark and then sends out a corrective tone (audible or ultrasonic) to keep yours or your neighbour’s dog quiet. Can be used for persistent barking problems
How it works?
When placed near the neighbour’s or your own dog, Bark Free is designed to turn on automatically when barking occurs. Bark Free uses a unique "Bark Pickup Sensitivity Adjustment Selector" which allows the user to set the microphone to activate to the dog’s bark. This eliminates the chance of any false sound readings and automatically turns off when barking stops.
To determine the best sound frequency for preventing barking, Bark Free also has a specially designed "Audible Sound Selector". The selector can be set for High Ultra-Sonic Sound Frequencies which can only be heard by your dog or lower sound tones that are also audible to the human ear. Both sounds have been proven to be effective in controlling dogs from barking.
Please note that dogs with hearing difficulties may well ignore the sounds emmitted. This is also true where the problem environment has alot of other loud noises close to the dogs.
As with all anti-bark products, they do not deal with the underlying causes of the dog’s barking. This should be dealt with at the same time as using this product. If within a two week period you have not noticed a significant reduction in the overall amount of barking, especially at night, then you have a more serious barking problem than just simple unnecessary nuisance and you will need to seek help from a dog behaviourist.
Please note that in cases where two dogs are barking the use of spray collars may help (see related items below). This avoids both animals being punished when only one may be barking.

The unobtrusive table-top design looks acceptable in all areas. This unit is not weatherproof so can only be used outdoors under protective areas that will shield it from rain or moisture. Operates off a 9-volt alkaline battery (not included), which will last up to 6 months or 2,000 activations.
Please note that in cases where two dogs are barking then the use of Spray Collars may be better suited (see related items below). This avoids both animals being punished when only one may be barking.

Aboistop Compact Anti-barking Spray Collar
antibark4
This kit includes everything you need to get started:

Spray unit
Collar (up to 27inches)
Battery
Refill cannister (further refills can be purchased separately).

Here’s how it works :
Each time your dog barks, the electronic bark-sensing unit, releases a brisk spray in front of the dog’s snout. Your dog hears it, sees it and smells it.
At the first spray your dog’s natural curiosity will be to seek the origin of the new odour. The dog will quickly learn that when he or she barks, Aboistop Sprays. This discourages your dog from barking. Aboistop is a distraction to your dog’s senses. Should you want to reverse the effects of Aboistop, just stop using the device.
According to the manufacturer their research shows that Aboistop will eliminate nuisance-barking by up to 88%.
It is advised to seek the help of a dog trainer or behaviourist before using any spray collar product.
As with all anti-bark products, they do not deal with the underlying causes of the dog’s barking. This should be dealt with at the same time as using this product. If within a two week period you have not noticed a significant reduction in the overall amount of barking, especially at night, then you have a more serious barking problem than just simple unnecessary nuisance and you will need to seek immediate help from a dog behaviourist.

The MasterPlus Spray Training System is a painless method of tackling difficult training problems. The patented system interrupts undesired behaviour by delivering a spray towards the nose of the dog. The spray stimulates different sensory systems all at once (touch, hearing and sight). It will interrupt the dog’s unwanted behaviour and allow you to capture his attention. The system operates at a range of up to 200m.
Dogs live in the present, so you must intervene the moment they misbehave. A few seconds later is probably too late. The manufacturer says that scientfic research over the last ten years has shown that the surprise and reward method is an effective means of training.
The spray surprises your dog and interrupts him during the bad habit you want to correct. It does not inflict physical pain. The collar is activated by remote control from up to 200 meters, even through obstructions like a wall.
Please seek the help of a dog trainer or behaviourist before using this product.
