Bark Training And Bark Collars
April 4th, 2008Of course, bark training involves a lot more than the bark collar. Almost all dog training involves creating associations between desired behavior and rewards, or unwanted behavior and punishments. Sometimes, bark collars alone can train a dog, but more often some involvement is required by the pet owner or a suitable trainer. The dog has to associate the discomfort or pain received from the bark collar with displeasure on the part of the trainer.
So which one is right for you? I think that the best idea is to start small and work your way up. Sometimes, a dog will be able to resist A minor bark collar, but will quickly understand what is going on when it is substituted for a more unpleasant one. Working with the collars in two phases like this, strangely enough, can actually speed up training.
