Before considering giving your dog up or keeping him locked in the house, you may decide to try out a no-bark dog collar first. The idea behind the no-bark dog collar is that it's fastened at the dog vocal chords and give the dog small shocks every time he emits a bark. Because it uses a combination of vibration and sound detection to shock the barking dog, the collar is sophisticated enough to recognize other sounds from anywhere or other dogs to simply zap your dog by mistake. Shock collars are probably not recommended for training, for behavioral modification or other uses. Positive reinforcement naturally works better than punishment or the use of pain devices. This type of device can worsen the problem instead of helping the situation.

Sound emitting anti-bark collars releases a high pitched tone that your dog will find so irritating that it will prompt him to stop barking. Nonetheless, this is really not the best method to teach your dog to stop barking. You may also use corporal punishment every time he barks. Personal training and teaching will truly help your dog to understand that barking is wrong and that you will not accept it.
