Barking Control Collars
Quiet Obnoxious Barking Pooches
Not everyone is in agreement
when it comes to domestic animal restraints. You may have a pet of
your own. My money is one a dog or cat. After all, these two are the
most popular house pets any way you cut it. As far as cats are
concerned, you probably don't have to do much in order to control
them. They basically lurk around the house like they own it and
don't make too much noise. Dogs on the other hand are a different
story. Depending on the size of your dog, you may leave him/her
outdoors or at least send him outside on a routine basis. So, what
do you do if he/she begins to bark, rant and rave? How can you
control the obnoxious, yet normal behavior of your pooch? Well,
there are always bark control collars.
I'm kind of on the fence when it comes to accessories like bark
control collars and shock devices for animals. I mean, you have to
wonder how much it's really hurting them. God knows we're not about
to strap one on and give it a shot. It's a bit amusing though when
you read the product descriptions. I believe they generally call the
negative reinforcement STATIC. Hmm, so the dog receives a "static"
charge from the bark control collars? It's definitely got to be a
euphemism. Static certainly sounds more gentle than SHOCK.
Furthermore, it really stinks to have to muffle our pets as though
they're not aloud to live and function as they're designed to. And
if they do decide to acts NORMAL, we buzz them back to reality with
high-tech bark control collars It truly does seem wrong when you
think about it.
I used to have this neighbor, back when I was in high school and
living with my mom. He would routinely call our house and tell us
that our dog was barking in the backyard. As if we didn't already
know. Heck, I was letting her bark. It was the middle of the day.
Finally I called the neighbor one day and told him that his wife was
singing in the backyard. Well, she was. And I didn't particularly
care for the tone. He hung up on me, but I thought it was funny.
Anyway, there is no real way for us to tell if bark control collars
are too extreme for our dogs or not. Therefore I give them a
whopping thumbs down.
