Citronella Collar - Why It's Recommended For Small Dogs

Aren't small dogs so adorable? It's not surprising that small dogs are popular

. Still, one cannot but feel irritated when these cute dogs bark incessantly. One effective way to instill in your dog some discipline is through the use of a bark collar. One question you have to deal with is how to find the right one for your dog. Among the many types of collars, a citronella collar is what comes most recommended.

Impulse buying is out of the question, as not all bark collars are of the same quality. You could ring your vet or talk to a friend about getting a collar for your small dog, to get wind of your options. You could also search online to get more info.

Regardless, your informed decision should weigh at least which kind of collar to get and one that's best suited for your dog's size. An ultrasonic collar disrupts your dog's barking with a high-pitched sound only dog's can hear. A static collar sends out a low-voltage shock, perfectly safe, instead of the sound. A spray type collar sends out a harmless chemical. The Citronella type fall under the last category.

Incidentally, many owners of small dogs seems to prefer citronella, as it is reported to fend off flies and mosquitoes. It also appeals as the humane approach - neither electrically shocking or annoying your dog with a sound.

Your online search will undoubtedly send you to customer review pages, which may mirror your experience and tell you how effective the collar they bought were. You might also find discounts and promos online.

You should consider allotting some time in training your dog. You want to keep that collar on your dog until his barking behaviour lessens.

Small dogs are minuscule, soft, and even handy, that owner want to bring them along wherever they go - except of course when they bark non-stop. So before you think about always leaving your small dog at home, or even getting a gentler one, consider shopping for a citronella collar first. After a few days of getting used to the collar, your small dog won't be as barking mad as before. And you can enjoy the peace, and ease, a small companion can bring.
