It is normal and desirable for dogs to bark from time to time, just as children make noise when they play outside. An appropriate bark is a deters intruders and alerts us of unusual conditions that our dogs have become aware of before us. But continual barking for long periods of time is a problem. It must be addressed quickly and efficiently as it not only affects you and your dog, but also neighbors and community.
Multivet Citronella Spray Bark Control Collar is a great tool in solving this problem. When the collar is worn, a container of citronella oil (harmless, essential oil extracted from lemongrass that has been demonstrated through scientific research to calm barking dogs) emits a spray directly underneath the dog's face when he or she barks. The sensation of the harmless spray is unusual to the dog and it become distracted and stops barking. Eventually this experience becomes a nuisance for the dog and your pet learns the cause of this experience is over-barking. Thus he or she will stop the bad behavior.
