Pet owners often use bark collarsas a first line of training when dealing with a barking dog to no avail. Collars that simply react to a dogs barking do not always have the intended effect of the device: training the dog to stop barking in the first place.

Having the ability to control your pets uncontrollable barking allows an otherwise escalating situation to cease to exist.
It is not easy to silence a dog with vocal commands: Has your dog ever been agitated, excited or begin to sporadically bark from a certain event?

With a dog training collar at your disposal, you will be able to combine vocal commands with static shock stimulation to immediately nip the problem in the bud.
