THIS IS AWESOME! My favorite dog trainer and dog whisperer of all time has just released a free video online explaining how to eliminate 94% of all unwanted behavior in ANY dog. Her name is Krista Cantrell and I absolutely LOVE the way she teaches. Click on the video to watch. You'll be glad you did...

Many individuals still have preconceptions when the subject of Anti Bark Collars pops up into a chat, yet those very same individuals subject their pets to their aggressivity and cruelty. Not all dogs bark often, but those who do annoy everyone around them, including your family and neighbours. Let’s face it; a dog that barks incessantly is enough to drive anyone up the wall. The barking will definitely annoy your neighbors, but it can also cause you trouble with the law. Not all state law is tolerant with dog barking.

Having to give your dog away after he or she has been with you for many years can be a huge emotional upset, both for you and the dog. To make matters worse, the new owners will quite likely get rid of the dog as well once they discover how much disturbance it causes. In many cases, these dogs just keep moving from one home to a next, until eventually they find themselves in an animal shelter, and then finally on the receiving end of a lethal injection. Because of this, it’s clear that wearing a bark collar is much less inhumane than the lethal injection.

Unfortunately though, the vast majority of people have seen movies where a dog has been tortured using a shock collar, and they’ve read reports on how cruel these collars are. In addition, most people who write articles on the atrocities commited by dog owners who use bark collars are very likely to have never researched the subject properly. Amazingly, there are even some people who think they must shave the area on the dog’s neck where the collar is put. Other reports make claims of burn marks, and this in itself shows just how misinformed these people are. Yet, how can a collar using two small A A batteries cause such a serious injury?

It’s clear that these devices are subjected to preconceptions and urban myths. After all, when you take your jumper off on a hot and humid day, and you touch something and get a tiny shock, one can’t really describe it as being painful. Yes it gives you a fright, but it’s by no means painful, and it can certainly do you no harm.

There are thousands of dogs alive today which would otherwise have been dead or in shelters if it weren’t for these collars. Practically everyone who has used them consider them to be a real blessing, in that problematic barking almost always stops within just a few days of the collar being put on a dog. Additionally, most Anti Bark Collars will warn the dog before and shock is administered. When dogs ignore this signal and keep on barking, the mild shock is applied; it increases in intensity if the pet keeps on making noise. With that said, even the most powerful shock is little more than what we know as a static shock. In the end, don’t forget that the two batteries can’t really harm a fly.
