Home Forums Birds & Dogs Hunting Dogs Bark collar?

She seems to have determined that she can just bark through it. It worked pretty well for a couple of days, but now she is back to barking. Not always, just mostly at times when everyone is home and she thinks she is missing something important. Had a neighbor come over and complain yesterday. Have to try something different, it seems.

May be time to try something like the SportDog bark collar. I have one of these for my Lab. Uses elec. stimulation rather than sound, and has three types of correction, depending on what is needed for your dog.
My lab will usually only bark once before the collar kicks in- it has a mode that sets itself to the intensity of your dog's bark, and will respond if the dog barks at that level again. There are also user-determined settings, and a progressive mode that gets stronger with each successive bark.
My dog will bark at a lot of things while outside in her kennel- deer, rabbits, birds, you name it. With her collar on, usually one bark is all you are going to hear from her. In the house, no collar- I want her to bark if someone is at the door, or whatever.

I use a Sport Dog bark collar on some of my dogs from time to time. It has never effected their collar conditioning.

Thanks for the information.
