Wow,, the bunny huggers are out in force tonight.The irony is that not a one of you have ever seen a electric bark collar used and you are only thinking with emotions without the benefit of experience.Now,,, personally I don't think bark collars work all that well. What happens is that dogs quickly become collar wise. Since you can not leave an electric collar on 24/7 (will rub a sore spot on the neck if you do) the dog doesn't bark when it is on but does the moment you take it off. This is because it really doesn't teach the dog to respond to anything (like a command) all it does is teach the dog how to avoid the collar. So unlike an actual training electric collar the bark electric collar is pretty much last resort in my book.This is not because I think they are cruel or something, this is because I don't think they work all that well.But for you bunny huggers,,,My specialty for 20 years has been training dogs that were to soft (timid) to be trained. The electric collar is the only training tool that can be turned down (adjusted) to work with these dogs. There is a dog here right now that was on the verge of being tipped over using cookies and a clicker just trying to get her to sit and come when called. I have to use almost all whistle commands with her because she cowers at the sound of a voice. She has now been through Force Fetch, 3HC, Force to Pile, Single T, and is now starting Double T and no-no drills using an electric collar. She will easily be ready to run Senior Hunter hunt tests in the spring.
