Citronella Bark Collar 

One of the best citronella bark collars on the market is the Premier Gentle Spray Bark Collar System. This collar helps you to stop all the excessive barking that your dog does in a safe and humane way. 

The big advantage that this citronella bark collar has over electric shock collars is that your dog is completely safe. Even though most electric shock collars have very low setting sometimes people worry that they might malfunction. 

The Premiere Dental Spray Bark Collar System uses citronella.  Dogs do not like the smell of citronella but is not harmful to them. So when the dog barks, it gets a spray of citronella which actually has two deterrence effects, the actual spraying and the smell. 

This collar system will fit dogs of all sizes and temperaments and comes with a lifetime warranty. 

How It Works 

There is a microphone on the dog collar that senses when the dog barks. When it senses the bark there is a spray emitted.   The smell is not offensive to humans but normally it is enough to distract your dog and keep him from continually barking. 

Citronella is safe for the environment and is harmless to people and pets as well. 

The manufacturer says that this system is twice as effective as using electric shock training.  Also it works on any dogs, as small as 6 pounds and as young as six months old. 

Reservoir System 

When the reservoir on the collar is properly filled it will deliver up to 20 sprays, which, if your dog barks a lot you will need to refill it quite frequently. 

Negatives 

It is battery operated so if your dog barks a lot you’ll need to replace the battery often. Also the reservoir on the collar can only hold so much liquid so you’ll need to refill it quite frequently at the beginning until your dog learns to not bark so much. 

Also, it might not work for all types of dogs if they are very persistent in their behavior.  In these cases you might actually have to go with an electronic collar or seek a professional dog trainer. 

Price 

This citronella bark collar system from Premiere generally costs around $60-$80 depending on the vendor that you purchase it through. 

Remember, as always it’s always best to incorporate some retraining yourself with the dog. It’s always best not to just rely on the collar to change your dog’s behavior. 

Eventually your dog will soon learn not to bark and you may not even have to turn the collar on or even leave it off after awhile. 

Some people actually only put the collar on every once in a while just to reinforce their dog’s new behavior. 

So if you are looking into getting the Premier citronella bark collar it would be worth looking into since the price is equivalent to other electronic dog collars.
