Do bark collars work?

Answer by  lovelife (998)

Bark collars are a deterrent to barking and usually do work. However, some dogs do not become discouraged by the shock it delivers and these dogs will not benefit from the collar, and could physically be harmed if allowed to continue to wear. Use your best judgment on your dog's response.

Some dogs respond to bark collars, but others they quickly learn to ignore them. Unfortunately you have to test it to be sure, so buy somewhere you can return it.
