Anti-barking collars are designed to correct dogs who are barking at nothing in particular, a behaviour known as 'nuisance barking.' They typically consist of a plastic collar with an electronic or citronella component that provides a slight static shock or a blast of citronella. While it is easier to train your dog when you are present, it can be difficult to watch over your dog at all times. Anti bark collars can keep a check on your dog even when you’re not around.

Other anti-bark collars have microphones that detect the sound of a dog barking. Some anti-bark collars use both sensors and microphones to detect barking in dogs in order to maximise effectiveness. The negative stimulation can be delivered remotely with some anti-bark c
