Some Info for Shoppers
There are three categories of bark collars. These types are known as static, sonic, and spray. The shock collar type, also known as the static correction type, releases a harmless low volt current as the deterrent stimulus. The sonic type uses a high-pitched tone that is annoying to dogs - a sound only dogs can hear, since it's beyond the range of normal human hearing. The spray type squirts out a liquid, harmless to the dog but just as annoying. The most popular right now is the static or shock collar.
Bark or no-bark collars are also of the automatic type, meaning they trigger based on the sound or vibration they receive from the dog. So when your dog barks, the collar activates, sending out a static correction in response to the dog's barking.

Remote collars are also training collars, and of which there's also the static correction type. Remote training collars that use shock as stimulus are different only from static correction types because of the remotely activated stimulus.
