Is It Ethical to Use No Bark Collars?

There are three different methods currently in use as no bark dog collars for dogs. They all give good results, but you might be wondering if using them is ethical. If you own a dog, you should know at least a bit about the type of no bark collar that you plan to use on your dog.

Spray Collars

Some no bark dog collars emit a citrus smell if the dog barks for long. Because dogs really don’t like the smell of citrus, this can be very effective as a no bark collar. These collars usually give a hissing sound before releasing the citrus smell, giving the dog a chance to stop the barking and saving itself from the spray. These no bark collars are considered ethical by experts, as there is no pain involved, just a mild annoyance for the dog.

Sonic No Bark Collars

These collars emit a high pitched sound whenever the dog barks. It sounds to the dog very similar to the sound a dog’s whistle makes. This sound can’t be perceived by humans, but it can be perceived by dogs, who learn to stop barking so as to avoid the sound. Again, experts and trainers don’t feel that these collars are unethical, as there is no pain or injury to the dog. All they do is create a bit of annoyance to the dog. To get better results, don’t use this collar for long periods of time, as dogs can get used to the sound and just ignore it.

Electronic No Bark Dog Collars

These collars work by delivering a small electrical shock to the dog’s neck whenever it starts barking. It isn’t truly dangerous, and can be compared to the shock you can get from static electricity. However, there are a lot of people that think that this type of no bark collar is unethical. The main reason why these people consider this collar unethical is that it actually causes a physical stimulus that can be felt by the dog. That’s why some animal lovers think that’s bad. Does the electronic no bark collar work? Usually it works great – so consider it an option if you have a barking dog.

There are three types of no bark collars that you can use to train your dog: citrus spray collars, sonic or ultrasonic collars, and electrical shock collars. Citrus spray collars and sonic collars are usually considered ethical, however, electrical sock collars are not universally accepted because some people think that they are painful to dogs. None of these methods are considered dangerous for dogs.
