A dog training collar can often be a good idea if your German shepherd tends to bark more than you would like.
Some owners find that their dogs can bark a lot, often at the worst times, like at three o’clock in the morning when you have a big day ahead of you.
A simple barking collar is probably your best choice if this is your situation.
Your neighbours will thank you as well…
A dog training collar is simple and easy to use, whether its an electronic training collar to stop her straying too far from your property or a simple bark collar.
We bought an electronic bark control collar for Chloe, put it on after reading the instructions, and it worked like a treat.
There are of course many other types of dog training collars available.
They range from the basic barking dog collar to hunting and sporting collars and everything in between. There are also Electronic dog collars which incorporate a containment device that acts like an invisible fence, keeping your dog safe and within the boundaries of your property.
Some people have asked me if using a dog training or bark collar is safe and humane.
The small electric shock that Chloe receives when she barks is quite harmless, it just serves to tell her ‘NO’, that’s not the behaviour we want.
I have seen tests that show that a dog training collar set on a low level gives a similar sensation to when you rub your feet on a nylon carpet and give yourself a static electricity shock when you touch something else in the room. Not painful, but it gives you a slight jolt and tingles a little.
Chloe still has an occasional bark, which is fine (she is a dog, after all), but now she doesn’t stand at the fence going nuts as the garbage man empties the bin at the bottom of the driveway 
Definitely a worthwhile investment if your dog wants to bark at everything she sees or keeps you awake at night.
We hope you find just the right dog training collar here to suit your needs,
Kind regards,
