When you get tired of waking up in the middle of the night because of your dog’s barking, of confronting the neighbors over the same problem and of wasting valuable time trying to train your dog not to bark, a citronella barking collar may be the only solution you have left.
You know that training your dog not to bark excessively is a long and exhausting process, especially when your neighbor’s cats tease him every day. An effective solution to enjoy your share of silence sooner is the citronella anti barking collar.
How Does the Citronella Collar Work?
It may look like a sophisticated regular collar but, in fact, the citronella collar hides sensors that detect the vocal cord vibrations, and when that happens, they initiate correction by spraying citronella in the dog’s face, hence the name of the collar.

How Long Will the Dog Have to Wear It?
Just like the training process, the need for this collar may vary from a few days to a few months, depending on the dog, the environment and the correction intensity you use. However, test show that dogs wearing the citronella bark collar learn to stay quiet easier than dogs trained for the same purpose without the collar.
Advantages of Using the Citronella Collar:
• Just like children, dogs need to be told every time they do something wrong. Unless you speak their language, there are few chances they will understand you, but the collar translates the warning for you. When citronella is sprayed in his face every time he barks, your dog will associate barking with it and will refrain from the former to prevent the latter.
Example of a Citronella Dog Collar
• The citronella barking collar does not require activation or supervision. Your dog will be prevented from barking both when you are at home or in the park with him, and when you are away for work or some other activities.
• It will save you time and effort. Normally, you would need to put in quite a few hours of training every week, without any guarantees that they will pay out. Using a citronella collar, you can reduce the time to half, or even give up training, as the collar will do the work for you.
• It is safe and harmless. Unlike other electronic devices, the citronella barking collar cannot harm your dog. The spray is a little irritating, for him to get the message, but it will not hurt him and it will not affect his well-being.
• It saves money. Imagine how much you would have to pay to have your dog trained in an obedience school for dogs or by a private dog instructor. Instead, you only pay for the citronella dog collar once and you can use it even after the training is complete by deactivating the sensors.
The list could, of course, continue in favor of the citronella barking collar, but you must have understood by now that both you and your dog deserve your moment of silence and relaxation, and citronella is the shortest path to it.
