Our dogs bark when we are at work. If we put bark collars on them will they still be able to play together?
Full Question:
Hi Cindy,My sister and I both have dogs at home that tend to bark when we are at work. We wanted to purchase the collars for both dogs but are concerned that this may limit them from playing with one another since they growl and play bark. Do you have any suggestions? Would keeping it on and off confuse the dogs? Thanks for your assistance.
Cindy's Answer:
I don't put bark collars on dogs that are physically together because if they start playing and vocalize with each other, it will give a correction. Some dogs will also get mad at the other dog, thinking the correction was caused by the proximity of the dog.
If you want to use bark collars on them when you are gone, I'd advise separating the dogs. Dogs have no problem with the collar being taken off and then put back on. They figure it out quickly. We use the Garmin BarkLimiter Collar.
