Ah…the sweet aroma of flowers in the spring. There is nothing quite like the aromatic scent of lilacs in bloom and roses in the garden. No one can disagree that there are scents that our noses can enjoy at any time. However, there is a lot to be said for that one time you get a blast of a scent that not only makes your nose wrinkle up from distaste, but simply makes you personally cringe. That is what is happening to dogs when they are wearing the Citronella No bark Dog collar. This collar is designed for one complete purpose. That purpose is to keep your canine from becoming an incessant barker. To put it bluntly there is nothing that can be more nerve racking at 2 a.m. then the habitual yapping from your dog or the neighbors pet. If your pet is the one to be causing the neighborhood noise making 24/7, you can soon become the object of many a neighbor’s glare or calls to the police. Now, it is not to say that we want our dogs to be unable to bark, especially in times of emergency or to express simple joy, but there has to be restraint. Some people go to the extreme of getting rid of their dog due to this habit of their pet. But why do that if means exist to curb that attribute of your family friend?
The Citronella dog collar is made to limit the dog’s want for barking. One of the main points about the Citronella no bark collar is that it works. This simple device is made to squirt the animal with an unpleasant scent whenever he or she starts into barking. A microphone on the collar picks up the noise from the dog’s barking and releases a distasteful spray onto the dog’s nose. After a few times of this procedure, the dog quite simply learns that if he barks they will be sprayed. The long-term effect consequence is the pet ends that habit of barking. That translates into happy neighbors and a peaceful night of slumber.
Another consideration for this collar is that it is safe for the animal. The scent that is released does not contribute to any lasting residual harm nor does it create an animal that is mentally scarred in any way. The only effect is that it is a temporary irritant and nothing more. This becomes a sound peace of mind to the dog owner when you consider that alternatives can be costly or tragic. Unlike a shock collar that can be painful or misused, the Citronella collar is designed for a temporary effect for a long-term benefit…both to the dog and its caregiver.
These collars are not expensive and are a simple use. It is not something that has to be carried forward indefinitely. Your dog will be quieter and you will not be the scourge of the neighborhood.
