If you are searching for information about Dog barking collars then this video may be of assistance.

There are numerous dog barking collars available on the market, and this list is not meant to be exhaustive.

The various brands of dog barking collars, which include (for example) Innotek, SportDOG (or Petsafe) & Dogtra.

The ways in which the dog barking collars work in 'correcting' the barking of the dog, also varies.

Some dog barking collars will emit warning tones, which are adjustable, when the dog barks.

Other dog barking collars will spray citronella or lemon when the dog barks.

And other dog barking collars emit a mild 'pulse' or 'shock' to the dog when it barks. These are very low, and similar to the devices, such as TENS, that are used for pain relief. These are intended more as a distraction than a punishment.

There are also dog barking collars which emit a combination of sound and pulse.

While there are numerous methods of 'correction' used by the collars, there are also numerous methods of detecting the barking used by the dog barking collars.

Some dog barking collars simply have a sensor (for example, a microphone) which detects the sound of the barking. These types of collars could also be triggered by barks from other dogs.

There are also dog barking collars that use a vibration sensor which detects the vibrations in the dog's throat, when barking.

And then there are dog barking collars which combine the sensors, and have both the sensor to detect sound and the sensor to detect vibration. With some of these types of collars being triggered when both sensors detect barking. These collars are possibly the least likely to be falsely activated (for example, by another dog), as they require both sensors to detect the barking of the dog.

We have covered some of the correction methods, and some of the detection methods, used by the collars. Dog barking collars can also have various other features, such as:
being waterproof;
being able to be purchased or rented;
being available from local councils;
some collars operate on replaceable batteries or rechargeable batteries;
some are suited to different types of coats;
some have an in-built counter that will store the number of times that the dog has barked; and
there are some which are sonic and ultrasonic bark control and which target dogs barking up to 10 metres away (eg neighbours), and these are not worn as a collar.

Please remember that for many dog barking collars, it is recommended that they not be worn permanently. And that in conjunction with the use of any of the dog barking collars, that the cause of the barking should also be investigated and addressed.
