Best article about anti bark collar

[dujnf]

If I wanted to share an article to put them off using an anti bark collar, could you offer me the best link to that article?

Anti bark mechanism could be shock/noise/smell - I understand they are all bad due to the dog being punished for barking when other more humane methods are more successful such as positive reinforcement and tiring the dog out so they are not as loud.

Thanks

I think some pet stores sell them although also heard that government are trying to ban them.

Can anyone point me in th me direction of any of the government papers please?

Scottish govt has: www.gov.scot/publications/guidance-dog-training-aids/

And Westminster gov: www.gov.uk/government/news/cruel-electric-shock-collars-for-pets-to-be-banned--2

There's a link to fuller info on that page.

I think Welsh gov has guidance too.

Hope these help!

Include one with help on how to train the dog? (There's a paragraph about the collars at the end) www.aspca.org/pet-care/dog-care/common-dog-behavior-issues/barking
