Choosing the Best Bark Collar For Large Dogs

The best bark collar for large dogs will actually depend on a few things. The size of your dog, his personality, and the length of your dog’s leash will all affect the type of bark collar you will need to purchase. Many people, however, do not realize that the size of their dog is not nearly as important as they think it is.

First, you will need to determine: how close you want to get to correct your pet’s excessive barking. If you are too far away, he may never hear anything you say. This can become embarrassing if you accidentally let him catch you reading a book in the kitchen while you are out doing the laundry. You may even be tempted to simply give up and go take a vacation. These steps, however, are unnecessary.

If you have a medium-size or large breed dog: it is likely that the collar you are considering will offer a great amount of correction. There are many remote control varieties of these bark collars that will offer varying correction levels. If you are looking for something simple, simply adjust the correction level until your pup understands what is acceptable. Once he has learned this behavior, you can then decide to increase the level until he is barking too excessively.

Many of these collar models have a key feature: that will make it easier for you to use the collar to reward good behavior. A “Yelp” button is located on the collar for just such a key feature. When your pup barks, the “Yelp” button will activate the dog collar and he will hear a tone and a loud noise that he should stop barking in his cage. This should not only curb his barking but can help you learn your dog a lot quicker.

Some other types of dog training collar models available: on the market include ones with vibration feedback and spray sound capabilities. The vibration feedback offers a small dog feel that when used in conjunction with the spray sound feature is a very effective and fast way to reprimand your dog for inappropriate behavior. These collars work by sending out vibrations through the collar and into the dog’s skin. The more times you pet the dog with the remote control unit, the more the vibrations will become noticeable and the more quickly your dog will learn what is appropriate and what is not.

In summary, while purchasing a remote-controlled dog collar for large dogs: you will want to focus on the type of correction level you would like your dog to learn. You may also want to purchase a collar with a vibration feature. If you have a hard time training or controlling dogs using positive reinforcement methods, consider investing in a shock collar first. If your pet exhibits excessive barking, it may be necessary to purchase a spray bark collar as well.

A training collar with the right level of correction can be very effective, but it can take some effort on your part to get your pet to learn how to behave properly with the collar.
