Bark Collar Recommendations
Innotek
BC-50B No Bark Collar
The Innotek BC-50B no bark collar was
introduced in 2003. It features a set it and
forget it technology. This is an over simplification.
This no bark dog collar not only controls barking
but teaches your dog not to bark as well. The
collar actually will increase the stimulation
as the dog continues to bark over 7 different
levels, until the barking is controlled. Most
important is that it also decreases the stimulation
as the dog learns not to bark, again over seven
different levels. Plus it provides a 2 second
learning time out between stimulations. The
result is a dog that learns not to bark with
an achievable goal of removing the bark collar
several months in the future. This makes this
no bark collar an excellent choice. The collar
receiver is standard size and is appropriate
for dogs over 20 lbs. and uses a commonly found
6 volt alkaline battery, and is potted for durability.
Potted refers to the process of injecting a
soft foam which hardens around the delicate
internal electronics, protecting them from damage.
This no bark collar system is dog specific, other
dogs will not set off the correction, only the
dog which is wearing the collar.
Innotek
BC-200 No Bark Collar
This behavior modification no bark collar
was also introduced in 2003. This no bark collar system
not only controls barking but teaches your dog
not to bark as well. It features the same increasing
as well as decreasing stimulation as the BC-50B,
and also provides a 2 second learning time out
between stimulations. Hence, teaching the dog
not to bark as opposed to only controlling the
barking with correction. The BC-200 features
a rechargeable collar that uses advanced Nickel
Metal Hydride batteries (NiMH). NiMH batteries
do not develop memory issues, and can be recharged
as often as you want. The overall dollar savings
are obvious, making this system one of the most
popular available, and overall least expensive,
far outselling conventional battery replacement,
and proprietary battery replacement systems.
In addition the collar is entirely waterproof,
and potted, making it the most durable on the
market. (Potted refers to the process of injecting
a soft foam which hardens around the delicate
internal electronics, protecting them from damage).
In addition the collar is microline, approx:
1 7/8 inches wide by 7/8 inches high by 7/8
inches deep, and weighs only 3.2 ounces.
Can this no bark dog collar
be used on dogs under 15 Lbs? Yes.
But we recommend that you use those measurements
in comparison to your dog and then make your
own decision. But remember there are no other
systems available with smaller collar receivers.
Is the weight of the collar receiver important,
in practicality? No. These collar receivers
weigh very little. They are extremely light,
so light that you will commonly see your dog
carrying toys, bones or sticks which weigh many
times more. This no bark collar is dog specific,
other dogs will not set off the correction,
only the dog which is wearing the collar.
