How do bark control devices for dogs work?

To stop your dog barking your dog needs to listen to your commands. Obviously this is either not working or they are happily barking their heads off when you are not there to stop them.

Once you purchase the collar, you need to fit the stop barking collar around their neck, just like a normal collar, but making sure that the sensor is situated in front of their vocal cords so even the slightest bark will be detected.

Once the collar is fitted correctly and they give a bark, it will be detected by the sensor and they will receive a warning beep. If they bark again within 30 seconds, your dog receives a harmless static correction. If you have a small or nervous dog, you can buy these collars with a sonic, rather than a static correction.

Your dog will quickly learn that a beep means to stop barking, otherwise they receive a correction. They do learn fast and you will be amazed at how quickly your life will be so much quieter and less stressed. Also, when you are home, it is a good idea to train them to your verbal commands, so that they will stop barking when you tell them to and will not always need to wear the collar.

What are some of the best pet containment systems in Australia?

If you are looking for pet management & training products, then one of the best products and the most useful are the pet containment systems. These are a great way to stop your dog wandering from your property and killing wildlife, endangering themselves and others on our busy streets or just becoming a nuisance around the neighbourhood.

How do pet containment systems work?

Essentially, pet containment systems keep your dog on your property and stop them from wandering away. They can also be used to contain them in a smaller area, such as around the house on a large acreage property and also keep them away from sensitive areas where they can do some serious damage, such as vegetable gardens. Usually they can contain an area up to a maximum of 200 acres – which is a huge area and shows you how well these pet containment systems work.

There are two components to a pet containment system, a collar with a transmitter which your dog wears around their neck and a receiving wire which is laid along a boundary line, either along your property line or around a smaller area.

The receiving wire can be laid on top of the ground, but is more often buried under the surface of the soil along your fence line. You also need to place little white flags about 2 to 3 meters away from the wire as this helps to train your dog.

So as your dog approaches the wire, once they reach the flags they will receive a warning beep from their collar. If they continue on into the ‘correction zone’ they receive a harmless static correction. They soon learn that the flags mean a beep and any further means a correction.

You can then teach your dog to stop at the flags with verbal commands and not to cross into the correction zone where they will earn a correction. This is a very safe way to prevent your dog from wandering around the neighbourhood.
