The COA No-Bark Collar is a cost effective method designed to stop unwanted barking, and it is safe and humane (unlike shock collars).The ergonomic, light-weight shape is more comfortable for the dog to wear and the muted grey color, has a more subtle appearance.The collar features the option to use either sound or vibration and has either two or three level settings dependent on the size of collar. Barking triggers either a high pitched sound or a vibration to interrupt the dog’s barking. This interruption provides opportunity to 'click and reward' dog to effectively support the quiet behavior.The material collar is fully adjustable for a correct and comfortable fit. Neck Size - Small: 24-42cm. The collar requires 3 x LR44/A76 batteries (supplied).It works best when combined with positive reinforcement training, and to maximize effectiveness, should not be left switched on for long periods of time.Age range description: All Ages
Agree completely. We still let Walter bark once or twice to alert us to stuff but he started doing it in the middle of the night which we couldn’t allow hence the collar. A single bark with it on overnight and he never barked unduly overnight again. In case you didn’t see my edit above, it’s this one!
Here's a cheaper one if that's your reasoning.
A shock collar absolutely is a threat. It is physical reprimand. It causes them to fear the outcome of the behaviour rather than to use positive reinforcement which encourages the dog to behave differently due to reward. Maybe a more accurate comparison for you would be to slap a toddler across the face each time it does not do exactly what you expect of it with no explanation as to what it did wrong, vs waiting for the toddler to do it correctly and then giving them a toy or a hug.
If you're under the impression that a shock collar is a 'slight twinge', watch this video to see exactly how cruel they are. A man shocks himself with one and swears with pain, and said the effects remained with him for a quite a while after taking the collar off.
