Putting an End to Nuisance Barking

Even though traditional dog shock collars are not explicitly designed to stop nuisance barking, they can be used to control this problem.

You’ll have to keep the bark collar on your dog most of the time to control nuisance barking, but with plenty of repetition, you’ll likely find that your dog stops barking on his own.

As when you are trying to prevent any other type of problematic behavior, you’ll want to use the gentlest correction possible to achieve the desired result.

Teaching Your Dog to Perform Retrieving or Agility Tasks

While you probably don’t want to use the shock function to train your dog to perform retrieving or agility tasks, you can use the audible beep or vibration as a way of communicating with your pet at a distance.

For example, a single audible beep may mean “stop,” while two beeps may mean “come back to me.”

Just be sure to instill a positive association between the beeping sound or the vibration, so that your dog does not think he is being reprimanded when you trigger these signals.
