The citronella bark collar is a great way to prevent your dog from barking. Once you attach the collar around the dogs neck the collar detects when the dog barks and it releases a mist of citronella smell that the dog will not like.

Eventually the dog will connect the bad smell with barking and will stop. This is a great relief for dog owners who had tried everything and keep getting complaints from the neighbors.

When it comes to calming "nuisance-barking" dogs, a spritz of fragrance under the chin is more effective than electric shock, a test by the Animal Behavior Clinic at Cornell's College of Veterinary Medicine has found.

The collar is surprisingly affordable and can be found just about anywhere on the internet.

The other option of collar is a shock collar to control the barking. Between an unpleasant smell or a shock to the neck most owners have to agree that they'd rather go with the citronella bark collar.
