Help on anti bark Collars

[Grinshill Stud]

Please can anyone help?? We have a Jack Russell that is out in the day in a large run with two other dogs and she will not stop barking!! It's driving everyone mad, we are have complaints of the neighbors. Please could anyone suggest the best anti-bark collars?

Any info would be much appreciated

a friend uses a collar that is remote control that when the dog barks she presses a switch and the collar spurts citronella oil on the dog apparently dogs don't like citronella!!!!!!!!!!!!!

we have a cintorella one that is activated by the vibrations in the dogs throat when it barks, works well as only goes off when the dog barks. Worked at stopping our dog from persistent barking within days.

I use the citronella one on my jack russell. It worked straight away and we only need to threaten him with putting it on and he stops barking immediately. Would definately recommend they are brill and not cruel at all. Good luck

Yes I agree, the citronella ones are the best option, if they work on your dog xx

agree with you beauty2004 we used our one for a few days and she picked it up stright away, now i only have to show her the collar and she knows to stop barking lol

we have a shock anti bark collar BRILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we had same problems as you.... the dog got a few shocks but soon learnt that barking meant a shock - harsh i know but cant rehome as love himdearly and he can bite so he's end up being put to sleep if he ever bit anyone so we couldnt rehome him, but neighbours moaned soooo much
so we went and spent £80 on an anti bark collar at our local gun shop and PROBLEM SOLVED as dog knows soon as we put it on !!!!!! dont buy the cheap ones off ebay as they dont wrk xxx
ps the one we have gives them a warning beep a few times before they get a shock.... so they stop barking xxx

to me - shock collars are cruel. Spray collars we use and they are fab - not cruel and they still work...

dont get the button pressing one OP... cheaper but you cant always be there to press the button....

my citronella one was £70 and worth every penny

i dont find them cruel at all.... my dog learned straight away so now no more barking which equals no more shocks!!! each to their own

I used a anti-bark collar (shock style) on my JR, now he rarely barks even without the collar, also worked wonders on my stressed out springer, he now no longer barks and neither of have to wear the collar any more.
