I've got several suggestions that I learned through trying both the citronella collar and the manually activated bark collars if you are considering one of these. For anyone who is curious, a manually activated bark dog collar is one in for which you make use of a handheld remote control and when you hear a bark, you click the button to stimulate the collar, whether it be any kind of collar (the majority of collars are available for both automatic and remote control).
We had been requested to have a go with the citronella collar by the city as a result of sound ordinance violation from our dog barking. I had been uncooperative and just didn't like the idea of our dog to wear the citronella collar because she already wears her invisible pet fence collar.I was so happy to know that the hidden fence company produced an attachment that could be placed on her current fence collar and provide you with the ability to remotely stimulate it! We purchased the citronella collar, yet decided not to make use of it at this time.
If you feel using this method, like I did, is easier or more convenient compared to the automatic activation provided by the citronella collar, think again! Initially I believed it was fantastic, but then I found myself leaving the dog outside and forgetting to connect the remote to the collar or I was not keeping the remote close to me whenever our dog started barking. Don't misunderstand me, the remote controlled technique works, however its at the very least ten times harder. I recall cursing at the remote control once I finally found it during a barking session, only to realize that the remote control ended up being off. I would become so mad given that it had taken a long time to sync up with the collar and by that time she'd quit barking.
The fourth issue found in the list shown here shouldn't be taken flippantly and it truly is the whole basis for this topic. I can't tell you how satisfying that it was to just allow the dog out and not have to stress about listening out for our dog's bark. We also installed a bark monitoring microphone outside which in turn was piped directly into our house audio system and then we could be certain to hear when she barked. How crazy is that? With the citronella collar, I was able to listen to music inside the house at last and did not have to worry about turning the stereo's source to the outdoor monitoring microphone everytime I let her outside. To remain fully unbiased, however, I need to state the fact that citronella collars do call for citronella refills and remote controlled collars won't require this. This has been a small compromise due to the degree of worry and searching around for a misplaced remote control this spared my family.
Reasons to use the citronella collar over remote collars
1. Don't have to keep the remote on you all the time 2. An additional battery you don't have to get (remote collars require one more battery) 3. Citronella collar is instant - you don't need to wait for a remote to sync to the dog's collar Citronella collar is hands-free! - You need to listen for your dog's barking if you use a remote collar.
The bottom line is the following: when you use a remote controlled bark collar there are many ongoing actions that need your special attention as well as reaction for it to train your dog appropriately. The citronella collar is really a all-in-one technique that will not call for any involvement to correct the dog. Before you purchase either of the types of bark collars, take into consideration your lifestyle and the way in which the collar's operation fits into your daily living.
