Limitations to weigh
- Find out why your dog barks first: boredom, fear, separation distress and alerting all need different fixes, and a bark collar can make fear or anxiety worse.
- Automatic collars correct every bark they detect, including alarm or distress barks; never leave one on an unsupervised dog for long periods.
- Follow the maker's wear limit (often no more than 8 to 12 hours a day), check the neck daily and move the unit to avoid pressure sores.
