The new citronella anti-bark collars are safe, humane, and remarkably effective. You know when it works and you know that although your dog must just hate the smell, you aren't being mean to him. When your dog barks, the ABS anti-bark collar sprays a light mist of citronella scent in front of his nose. Dogs don't like this. The hissing noise startles them and to dogs citronella smells bad.
Most dogs figure things out very quickly and stop barking.
We've had excellent success using the collar for barking problems at our animal hospital, and many of our clients use the collar successfully. If you aren't completely satisfied return it within 30 days for a full refund of the purchase price. Dogs have a fold of tissue on each side of the larynx which must tighten and vibrate to make a bark. Debarking surgery removes this tissue. After the operation, dogs have only a whispery bark, and most of the time both dogs and owners are quite happy with this.
