Are no bark dog collars safe?
While industry claims that no harm is done to the dog, obviously the stimulus, or sensation, provided by the no bark collar is not something the dog likes. If it didn’t hurt them, they wouldn’t worry about barking freely despite the consequences. That being said, we don’t know of any severe injuries or deaths caused by no bark collars, and if the dog learns not to bark, it won’t be shocked anymore. We can’t help but wonder how this is restraining some of their natural functions, however, or causing undue stress and anxiety. Furthermore, consider the fact that in Europe, electric shock no bark collars are illegal.
