Are Bark Collars Ethical?

There are three different methods currently in use as no bark collars for dogs. These three versions of dog collars serve their purpose well, but some people wonder if they really do not hurt the animal at all. If you have a dog that barks very often, then you must have all the information of these tools you can use on your pet.

Citrus Spray Collars

This type of no bark dog collars pulverize citrus substance under the dog’s chin if it barks for too long. The citrus spray collar is very effective because most dogs dislike this smell. Some types of citrus spray collars make a hissing sound before spraying the substance, so that the dog can stop barking even sooner once it learns what the hiss means. The dog is not hurt at all by either the sound or the spray.

Ultrasonic or Sonic Bark Collars

The sound produced by sonic or ultrasonic devices is only heard by dogs. This tone is similar to the dog whistle sound. Usually people do not hear it, but dogs get easily annoyed by the noise and tend to stop barking once they learn this is how they can silence the device. Is this considered ethical by the experts? Yes. Once again, there is no pain involved – it’s just a bit annoying for the dog. Note: This type of no bark collar is considered the least effective, as the dog can become used to the sound over time.

Electronic Bark Collars

An electronic bark collar reacts at the dog’s barking by sending it a mild shock. The shock is not harmful and it can be compared to static shock humans feel. This shock only irritates the dog; however, many people believe that purchasing and using it on a dog is unethical. Because the dog can actually feel discomfort due to the shock, some consider it should not be used anymore. Some people don’t like that. However, the electronic dog collar does a great job in calming down your dog so, if you are a dog owner and your dog never ceases to bark, you may as well consider buying a bark collar.

To deter a dog from barking excessively, you can choose from no bark collars that use citronella spray, sonic or ultrasonic sounds, or electronic shocking. Citronella spray and sonic or ultrasonic sounds are considered ethical, but electronic shock collars are sometimes considered unethical because of the shocking. All in all, no aforementioned solution is harmful to your dog.
