If your dog seems to bark incessantly, you need the Gentle Leader SpraySense Citronella Anti-Bark. Designed to harmlessly spray your dog when she barks, this collar will correct without pain. Within a short time, your dog will learn that endless barking is not worth the annoyance of being sprayed.
Some dogs just seem to bark because they like to hear themselves. Because you may not understand the reason, it can be difficult to teach your dog that this behavior is not acceptable. In cases like this the only alternative is to disrupt the behavior when it occurs. That is just what Gentle Leader SpraySense collars are designed to do.
Instead of causing fear or pain like shock collars do, SpraySense collars disrupt annoying yapping by spraying a harmless mist toward your dogs face. This spray works by not only causing a smell and feeling your dog dislikes, it also uses your dog’s senses of hearing and vision. By affecting all of these senses, your dog is trained more effectively than an electric shock collar without harming your dog in any way.
The collar runs on one 6-volt battery/ It consists of a nylon collar and a spray device. The spray device has an on/off switch as well as a microphone, a spray valve and an opening to refill the spray solution. Additional cans of spray solution are available in unscented and citronella.
When your dog barks, the microphone on the collar activates the spray. When your dog is quiet, the spray stops. Soon your dog learns that it is better to keep quiet. Most dogs will learn easily with this collar. However, some dogs are not bothered by the spray, while other dogs realize that they will only be sprayed if the collar is on. According to the manufacturer though, the SpraySense collar works with nearly 89 percent of dogs. Give it a try and you may soon enjoy having a quiet dog.
