The anti bark spray collar is considered a humane and ethical training collar, specially when compared to other training collars, such as the sonic collar or the controversial shock collar. However, before you buy an anti bark spray collar, you should really understand the difference between the different models, specially between old models and new ones.

The anti bark spray collar, a Forte to Pet Owners

For those pet owners who are desperate to calm down the incessant barking of their pets and get them behaviorally trained, spray bark collars are just the most effective and viable solution. This type of anti bark collar senses the vibrations in the dog's neck that are caused by the sound of the bark, and in turn, it releases a small squirt of citronella that sprays the dog's muzzle. The spray catches the dog off guard because the dog can see it, smell it, feel it, and hear it. Due to the strong scent of the spray, the dog gets distracted and tranquilized since he starts to understand that the spray starts working on its incessant barking or bad behavior.

Although there are several brands of spray bark collars, the two most popular ones are PetSafe and Innotek. It's always a good idea to do a bit of research and compare the different models in the market before you decide which collar you shoudl buy. There are a few factors to consider, for example, your dog's size and personality, as well as the collar's size, weight, form, range, resistance, and look.
