Anti Barking Dog
***
If you move to another city and you have a
dog that barks a lot, you may be surprised to find that you are in an anti
barking dog location. Many towns and cities have by-laws that specify that
dog barking for long periods of time is against the law. They can’t out
the dogs in jail, but they will charge you with a misdemeanour resulting
in a fine. If the barking continues and you do not do anything about
trying to control the dog, the city may take the dog to the dog pound.
Some of the anti barking dog steps you can take are to bring the dog to
obedience school where both you and the dog learn the commands that will
quieten down the dog when it starts to bark. These classes will also help
you determine the reason that the dog barks so you can take measures to
improve the dog’s stimulation and how to relive barking causes by
loneliness or boredom. The classes will also teach you how to control the
dog’s barking whenever the doorbell rings or there are strangers around.
You can also anti barking dog collars to try to stop the excessive
barking. These are training aids are not designed to be worn continuously.
The collars that spray citronella into the dog’s face seem to be the most
effective, but these do have drawbacks because of the microphone that
picks up other sounds that could activate the spray. This defeats the
purpose of using it to train the dog when it should stop barking. The
varieties of this type of collar that is best for training is one that you
activate through a hand held remote every time the dog barks and you want
it to stop.
