Electric shock bark arrester: a bark arrester that uses electric current to cause pain to dogs, thereby achieving the effect of stopping barking. It is the most widely used type of bark control device. It is usually made into a collar type and emits electric current by sensing the vibration of the vocal cords. There are also devices that use remote control to instruct the delivery of electric shocks. The advantage of the electric shock bark arrester is that it is effective and usually has obvious effects after a few days of use. However, dogs are prone to worry and restlessness. Recommended for use on dogs that bark heavily and are in good health.

Ultrasonic type: When the dog barks, it emits high-frequency sounds to punish the dog, thereby reducing the desire to bark. It is often made into a collar type, or made into a body and placed in a place where dogs are prone to barking. The advantage of the ultrasonic bark control device is that people cannot hear the sound, so it will not affect the peace of the home. It is also less likely to cause harm to dogs. The disadvantage is that dogs are prone to depression, and some dogs have low sensitivity to high-frequency sounds, so the effectiveness is limited. Ultrasonic bark control device is less disturbing to humans. In addition to removable models, there are also collar types.

Voice type: Make a sound when the dog barks to stop the dog. The difference from ultrasonic is that it is a frequency that people can hear. Some products make beep sounds, while others can record the owner's voice to "soothe" the dog. The disadvantage is that it is not effective for some dogs.

Spray bark suppressor: When the dog barks, it sprays water to stop it. Often made into a collar type. The advantage is that it works well and does not cause harm to dogs. The disadvantage is that you have to replenish water at any time.

Vibrating bark arrester: It vibrates when the dog barks to remind the dog to be quiet. The advantage is high safety. The disadvantage is that the effectiveness is not necessarily ideal.

Other anti-barking products: In addition, there are several products that also have anti-barking effects. Including dog masks and dog collars, which also have good results.

Different bark arresters are suitable for different dogs and situations. If the barking is serious, the electric shock type and ultrasonic type are suitable. If the barking is not serious, the vibration type, spray type or voice type can be used. If a dog barks near your home, the ultrasonic method is best (but the sensing distance must be far enough).
