Dog Collar Citronella - When To Use One?

Dogs bark. It doesn't take a genius to know that this is how they communicate - with their fellow dogs, other animals, and humans. When dogs bark, they may be calling out to a dog of the opposite sex, eager for attention and a chance at mating. They may be chasing off a cat, a rat or some other pest in the area. Or they may be warning their owner that there is a stranger outside.

When dogs bark when they're supposed to bark, the use of citronella collar is uncalled for. However, there are times when a dog's barking turns excessive, causing great annoyance to its owner, the neighbors, and everyone who's within hearing range. This usually happens when a dog is left untrained, allowed to bark whenever it pleases just as it does other things, like peeing inside the house and eating out of the garbage can.

If you happen to own a dog with these sorts of problems, you might have to consider buying a citronella collar. These collars are very effective in calming and silencing a barking dog especially during inappropriate times and places.
