Barking
Behaviour
We all have the right to live with a pet. However we are responsible
for making sure that our companion is not a nuisance to others.
Imagine, for a moment what your neighbours must feel when they are
subjected to incessant noise from a dog: elderly people who have
a rest during the day, students who need to concentrate to prepare
for exams even someone home due to illness. Barking is a natural
form of behaviour for a dog. A dog that barks to give warning of
an intruder or a danger, or to communicate his joy to his master,
is simply expressing his emotional state.
HOWEVER, if your dog forms the habit of barking at the slightest
external provocation, this behaviour becomes unacceptable.
There are different levels of nuisance behaviour depending on the
breed, personality, age and history of the dog. These problems can
sometimes grow so serious that an owner has no option but to get
rid of his dog.
To prevent things from reaching this stage, and solve the problems
as soon as they arise consider using an Anti Bark Collar. These
collars are a tried and proven method of enabling you to retrain
your dog. |
When your dog barks, a
static correction is emitted at the lowest level you have set. If
the behaviour continues the corrections will increase with each
successive bark. There are 3 selectable ranges, each range consists
of 6 incrementing levels of correction. Giving a total of 18 levels.
The collars we use are activated by a combination of sound and vibration.
This means a neighbour’s dog barking or loud sound cannot
activate the collar by mistake.
The collar also has a SAFETY TIME OUT, if your dog barks 15 times
consecutively within a 1-minute period the unit will disable sensors
and remain inactive for 3 minutes, then reset itself to the original
setting. |
Each time your dog barks, the electronic
bark-sensing unit, releases a brisk, citronella spray in front of
your dog’s nose. This effect is sufficient to startle your dog
and interrupt its undesirable behaviour. The smell of the citronella
which is unpleasant to dogs then begins to irritate the dog’
s nasal passage. Through this harmless conditioned reflex the citronella
discourages and reinforces to your dog that barking is unpleasant.
The sensing unit holds approximately 18-25 sprays. Citronella is a
100% natural spray, safe for all dogs, people and the environment.
Citronella can be used safely on all healthy dogs. |
