Citronella Dog CollarsCitronella dog collars are an extremely humane method of pet behavioural control, and offer an attractive solution to pet owners that is neither dangerous nor traumatic for the animal and in fact, may save a dog from being injured, abandoned or mistakenly destroyed. Unlike the majority of available dog training tools, citronella dog collars are based on disruptive stimulus … not punishment. When your pet is misbehaving, it is following a certain pattern of behaviour. To break the offending pattern, citronella dog collars introduce a disruptive stimulus in the form of a rapid spray of citronella! With the use of citronella dog collars, your dog feels it, hears it and sees it but most importantly … smells it. Subsequently, your dog will learn quickly that when it misbehaves, a spray of citronella will follow just as quickly! How do citronella dog collars work? Most citronella dog collars have a plastic casing that holds a reservoir of citronella, which is fixed to a collar and placed around the dog's neck. Citronella dog collars also house a microcircuit that triggers a miniature valve releasing just the right amount of spray from the reservoir. Depending on the application (anti-barking, containment, remote control) the citronella spray is released a fraction of a second after the unwanted behaviour. Your dog is rapidly able to establish a relation between the spray and the behaviour. Citronella dog collars are endorsed by leading veterinarians, behaviourists and dog trainer's worldwide. |
