Welcome to AntiBark-4Less.com! Barking Before you start using an anti bark collar, it is important to determine why your dog is barking in the first place. Because barking is a form of communication for our furry friend, you will want to make sure that you do not send your dog the wrong message. If the dog is barking out of fear, separation anxiety, or aggression a no bark collar could make the problem worse. That is why it is important to explore the cause of the barking first.

Some dogs bark more than others and if you have a dog that is mostly outside, you may have noticed they bark more. Dogs that spend much of their time outside tend to be more social and may require more attention. Guard dogs and hound dogs were bred for their talent of barking when needed and are expected to bark. Asking a guard dog to never bark is asking a lot, but that does not mean they are not still trainable. Training the dog when to be silent is key here.

In some cases the dog is only attempting to tell you that something is wrong or that they are not happy. If the excessive barking is a recent development in your dog’s behavior, then you will want to contemplate on what has changed in the dog’s life. If your hours at work have changed, your dog may require some time to get use to this change. Perhaps your work hours are always changing, and your dog is just craving some consistency.

Here are a few suggesting that will help get you started:

• Is hungry.


• Desires play time.


• Wants to go outside or come inside.


• The dog could be bored, frustrated, anxious, or just vocalizing excitement.


• For more active dogs, increase play time and build an exercise routine.


• Take the dog on errands with you. Even a quick car ride can provide enough mental stimulation for them to be satisfying.


• Do not reward barking with yelling. It may not seem like a reward, but it is giving the dog attention and that may be what he or she wants. Instead, ignore the dog when barking and reward them when they are quiet.


• Determine what usually gets the dog barking and avoid them. For example: if the dog always barks at the mailman, try putting the dog someplace they can not see the mailman when mail comes.

Only after you have explored these possible causes for your dog's barking, can you then begin using the anti bark collar as a tool for the next step in furthering your dog’s training.

The Innotek automatic anti-bark collars offer instant feedback that will distract your dog from barking. The dog bark collars senses the vibration produced by your dog’s vocal chords and delivers a very brief pulse similar to a static shock you would feel on a door knob. Unlike other deterrents the anti bark collars can only be activated by the dog wearing it. Other dog’s barking and loud noises will not activate your Innotek anti bark collar.

With the first bark, the system, built into the collar, will start a pulse at the lowest level and will rise one level with each bark that follows until the barking stops. After your dog has been quiet for 20 seconds the collar will automatically re-set to the next lowest level. This is the pulse level that is best for your dog. There is no risk of over-correcting because your dog has decided which level is optimal.

The Innotek anti-bark collar allows dogs to learn at their own speed, that excessive and annoying barking is off limits. Most dogs quickly learn to avoid the stimulation by being quiet. Of course, some dogs learn more quickly than others, so be patient and understanding with your dog and follow the recommendations in this video.
