Characteristics of Herding Dogs
The dogs in this category were developed to control large flocks of sheep or herds of cattle. They still retain that ability today, even though most of them never lay eyes on a Merino or Longhorn. Energetic, smart, and serious, they’re big proponents of family togetherness and like nothing better than to see the whole family in the same room so they can keep an eye on them.
Herding breeds are protective of their people and property and make excellent watchdogs. They have a tendency to nip at or bump people, not because they’re mean but because that’s how they’re wired to herd. I remember an Australian Shepherd I had when I lived on a ranch in Colorado; she learned by simple observation that I did not want our cattle in the hayfield. As a result, all I had to do was yell “cow” and she would race to the hayfield to chase them out. Ultimately, the cattle learned too – when they heard the word “cow” they high-tailed it out of the hayfield before the dog would even come!
With firm, consistent training, frequently with the use of dog training collars, these breeds of dogs can learn to behave in a more appropriate fashion. Their intelligence, agility, and activity level make them well suited to dog sports.

Innotek Spray No Bark Collar
Innotek Citrus Spray No Bark Collar
The Innotek Spray No Bark Collar an ALL NEW NON-CITRONELLA formula made from ALL NATURAL CITRUS. The Innotek Spray Control Anti Bark Collar is simple to operate. Place the battery in the bark collar receiver and attach it around your dog’s neck. When your dog barks, a burst of all-natural citrus spray is emitted, which dogs find bothersome to their highly developed sense of smell. While not harmful, it is a sufficient deterrent to excessive barking.
Eliminating Barking Dogs
Whether you have a big or small dog, excessive barking can be nerve wracking for family members, neighbors, guests, and even yourself. There are a number of successful solutions to deal with barking dogs, just keep in mind that the longer they’ve been taught that it’s okay to bark all the time, the more effort it will require to break them from the habit. These tend to be the best solutions:
~Lemon juice, a squirt of lemon juice in a dogs mouth when they bark will stop barking immediately (they can’t bark and pucker at the same time). If you use the lemon juice frequently they will bark less and also stop barking at the mention of lemon juice.
~No bark dog collars, these work great for outside dogs of both large and small sizes, and probably require the least effort on your part to stop the barking.
~Vinegar spray, squirting a dog with a solution of vinegar and water when they bark can be successful at stopping frequent barking (the dogs don’t like the smell of vinegar, and definitely don’t like it on them) this option can be messy and should ideally only be used outside.

It is designed to not only control a dogs bark, but it also acts as a training aid to teach your dog not to bark. The No Bark Dog Collar is two collars in one.

How Remote Training Systems Work
From Drs. Foster & Smith Educational Staff
We all want our dogs to be well-behaved, delightful companions. At a minimum, your dog needs to know basic obedience commands, such as sit, stay, come, down, and heel. In addition to being more enjoyable, an obedient dog is a safe dog.
Your training “toolbox” may include a number of traditional tools, such as leashes, chain collars, treats, and toys. While these tools can be very successful while the dog is leashed, their effectiveness may diminish when the dog is off leash. If one of your training goals is to have a reliable dog off leash, one tool to consider adding to your training program is an electronic remote dog training collar.
All remote training systems consist of a handheld transmitter that operates the collar remotely via radio frequency. When a button is pressed on the transmitter, the collar delivers a small harmless electrical sensation to your dog.
Remote trainers offer you many benefits. The biggest benefit is control of your dog while he is off his leash. This off-leash control could be a matter of life and death in cases where your dog is heading for a road, heading for the water, or chasing another animal.
Eventually your dog learns that he is in control of the stimulation he receives. He does not associate the stimulation with you. He associates the stimulation with his behavior. Therefore, he learns to control the stimulation by controlling his behavior. When used properly, the remote trainer helps your dog become less confused and more confident in you and your leadership. In other words, a happier dog!
Remote Training
From Drs. Foster & Smith Educational Staff
Dogs are not dumb. When you are training them they soon realize that you cannot correct their behavior unless you are standing close by. Remote dog training collars make it possible to humanely correct, discipline, and even reward your dog, even at a distance. Remote collars are one of the most effective training tools for professional trainers and individual pet owners alike. Some remote units have a range of nearly one mile!
Remote dog training collars can be used in many situations. Examples are:
- Refusing to come when called (once they know the command)
- Chasing cars
- Chasing other animals
- Digging
- Nuisance barking
- Field Training
They work effectively and quickly, and allow you to distract the dog by breaking his train of thought so he can center his attention on your command. Remote collars will quickly help your dog associate unwanted behavior with an unpleasant sensation. Remote collars are not, as some people believe, a cruel tool. They also will not injure a dog. In fact, when used correctly, the sensation your dog feels from the collar is similar to the sensation you get from static electricity.
In the past, collars only had one stimulation level to choose from. There are now collars available with several levels of stimulation, so you can determine the level your dog needs.
PetSafe Small Dog Bark Control Collar
PetSafe Little Dog Bark Collar
How does the PetSafe Small Dog Bark Collar Works? Place the Collar on your dog. When your dog barks, a harmless Static Correction is emitted. There are ten levels of correction. The PetSafe Small Dog Bark Control Collar automatically adjusts the level of static correction to your dog’s temperament. The Temperament Learning System uses sophisticated software to track the number of corrections needed to reduce and in most cases eliminated nuisance barking.
PetSafe Deluxe Bark Control Collar
The PetSafe Deluxe No Bark Collar features PetSafe’s patented Perfect Bark Technology, simultaneously sensing both sound and vibration, and only a combination of sound and vibration will trigger the electronic correction. The PetSafe Deluxe Anti Bark Dog Collar accurately detects your dog’s bark every time. Some dog bark collars detect barking with a microphone and activate on sound, but these can be set off by other noises or by another dog’s bark. Some bark collars use only vibration, and these can be set off by motion or jostling. Only the PetSafe Deluxe Bark Control Collar with Perfect Bark Technology ensures fool-proof bark detection.
