Overall Dog Info

There are several no-bark dog collars on the market.  But, before purchasing you should give some consideration to what your circumstances are and when you will want to use the n0-bark collar.  These no-bark electronic collars come with a variety of features.  First, you have the basic no-bark collar that has a sensor that detects when the dog barks, which is a noise or sound sensor.  With these basic no-bark collars the electrical stimulation occurs when your dog barks, but they can also emit an electric shock to the dog when a loud noise is detected other than your dog barking.  Loud noises such as dropping something, a loud ringer on a phone, other dogs barking, shutting a car door, a car horn or children yelling can trigger the sensor.   When your dog receives an electric shock that has nothing to do with them barking it is very confusing for the dog.  If this basic type of collar is used, you should be very careful not to have the collar on your dog when children are present or you anticipate a situation where a lot of noise could have the potential for triggering the sensor on the collar.

A better choice might be the no-bark dog collar that has a motion sensor along with the noise sensor.  The sensors must be activated simultaneously before the shock is administered.  This type of collar is better suited for families with children and who have more than one dog in the household, than the collar with only the noise sensor.  The motion sensor must be activated by the vibration or movement in the dog’s throat along with detecting sound before the electrical stimulus is given.  This prevents an accidental shock being administered to the dog due to other loud noises or other dogs barking triggering the collar.  Many of the collars with both the motion and sound sensors also have adjustable levels of stimulus, which is important.  Not all dogs have the same level of  tolerance.  You should begin at the lowest level of stimulus and increase in small increments until your dog responds to the correction.

We moved to an area close to a University and the students are walking past our house all day long.  My dog is a good watch dog, which means he alerts us to everything happening in the neighborhood and this gets old after a while.  I have worked and worked with him to get him used to all the people walking down the street, but he hasn’t responded the way I hoped.  I finally decided to try the no-bark collar and was quite surprised to see how quickly he responded.  It didn’t take him long to figure out that when he barked, he got shocked.   He barked only once at two different people and then sat on his chair on the front porch and just watched the rest go by.

There’s something else I noticed and that’s when he’s barking his level of physical excitement escalates.  The other day, he had his collar on when my husband came home from work, he didn’t bark at him and he always barks, his level of excitement was less, not all the jumping up and down and running around his feet.   And, he calmed down much quicker than what his normal routine usually lasted.  I wonder if the act of barking releases adrenaline or some other chemical that escalates the dog’s physical excitement level?  When the use of the collar stops the barking, then no biological chemicals are being released and the dog is calmer.  Humm… does any one know if this scenario has any validity?  Or do we just have an unusual dog?

Anyway, I thought I would pass along my observations and to point out the different collar options to consider before purchasing a no-bark collar, in case anyone is considering one for their dog.  The collar has proved very effective in our situation and I no longer have to usher our dog into the house and shut the door to keep him from barking.  Now our dog is enjoying the summer afternoons on the front porch with us.

If you’ve recently purchased a dog, it’s very likely that you’re also running around trying to buy everything that the puppy will need. This includes an effective dog collar. The first step in this process is to measure your dog’s next with a tape measurer. Add two or three inches for the length of the collar. This is because you want it loose enough to be comfortable, but you don’t want it so large that it will slip off your dog’s head.

Also make sure that the dog collar is adjustable, especially if your dog is young and is still growing. Collars are available for dogs of all sizes, so it doesn’t matter how big or small your new pet is. There will be a collar that will be the perfect fit. Also make sure the collar is outfitted with all the dog’s information, including his name, your phone number, and address. This way, he can be returned home safely if he ever gets lost.

PetSafe PBC-102 No-Bark Collar

Product Features

* Bark-control collar sends harmless s

tatic shock to the dog whenever it barks

* Adjustable nylon collar senses vibration in dog’s throat during barking

Product Description
Curtail your dog’s excessive barking with this harmless, easy-to-use nylon collar. Insert the included 6-volt battery into the lightweight receiver, and fasten the adjustable collar around the dog’s neck. When the dog barks, the collar senses the vibrations in the pet’s throat and emits a mild static shock and an audible warning beep. There are 6 progressive correction levels, so if the dog barks again within 30 seconds, the next shock will be stronger, though not too strong for small or timid dogs. For safety, if the dog barks 15 times in less than 50 seconds, the collar shuts off automatically for a period of 3 minutes.

The collar is designed to train the dog, not punish it, and the shocks are not harmful. According to a Tuskegee University study, adult shelter dogs wearing the PetSafe No-Bark Collar for 6 30-minute sessions over a 2-week period showed no long-term adverse effects, and they all reduced their barking by the second day.

The 2.3-ounce receiver works with dogs weighing from 15 to 120 pounds. It is water-resistant and not affected by rainy or snowy conditions. The pure digital signal eliminates interference from stray signals, and is approved by the FCC. The collar includes PetSafe’s limited lifetime warranty.

Customer Review:

Solid product - effectiveness depends on the source of the barking problem.,

By	Mrs Dee “Dee” (Los Angeles, California)

We’ve only had this product for about 10 days, but I see how effective it is.. and under what circumstances it DOESN’T work. I tried it on our 1 year old Shih-Tsu who barks at every single little noise, because he’s trying to establish himself as the boss/top dog and it worked very, very well. He just stopped barking while we had it on him and we’ve noticed a huge reduction in his barking overall. We’ve also got an 8 year old terrier mix who has very tics and neurosis and he barks much of the time because he feels threatened or nervous. The bark collar forces him to bark less but doesn’t stop him so we’re working on that.

If your dog is ‘nuisance barking’ just for the hell of it, this collar is an excellent solution. If there’s another underlying cause then of course this collar isn’t going to work a miracle, though combined with addressing those issues directly it could be very effective.

Surprising somebody with a puppy can be a very exciting and spontaneous gift. It can also be rewarding, but only if you’ve given the gift a lot of thought. If you buy a puppy on a whim, it’s a dangerous endeavor. You must make sure you have the time, energy, and money necessary to give a puppy a loving home. If you haven’t thought about the purchase beforehand, you run the risk of the recipient losing interest or simply being unable to provide what that young puppy deserves.

With that in mind, before you give anybody a puppy as a surprise, make sure you also consider purchasing the immediately necessary dog products. With the puppy itself, provide the lucky recipient with a supply of dog food, a dog dish, a comfy dog bed, and a couple of dog collars. The most important thing to consider is that the puppy needs love and attention right away. Put the new dog owner in a position to start feeding and walking the puppy right away. Just provide enough to get through the first week or so. This gives them enough time to make all the secondary purchases for their new best friend.
