Why A Gentle Spray Citronella Necklace Is A Better Alternative To Shock Necklaces

Many people use electric shock collars, ultrasonic products, and other methods that cause physical pain to dogs to train them not to commit certain unwanted actions or behaviors. These behaviors generally include barking, using the bathroom inside, digging in the yard, jumping on furniture, jumping on people, chewing on things like your shoes, which should not be used as chew toys, and many other things. An alternative that has recently become available and is gaining popularity in both Europe and the United States is the use of a mild spray citronella bark necklace.

Wearing a citronella training collar allows you to train your dog without any physical pain to the dog. Citronella collars will squirt a gentle mist of citronella oil under your dog’s chin, drawing his attention, but not hurting him. Like shock collars, citronella collars come in sound activated versions and remote control versions, depending on the type of behavior you need to correct.

Sound activated versions are great for barking, because they have a sound sensor that will detect when the dog is barking and release a squirt of citronella juice. Remote control versions are great for other behaviors, because it allows you to press a button on a small remote control, every time your dog does one of the unwanted actions, and it will soon associate the actions with a spray to the face. Several studies have shown that mild spray citronella collars are more effective than pain-causing products when training your dog.
