Our most asked question is, "Will my dog stop barking after wearing a bark collar for a couple of weeks?" There is no simple yes or no answer to that. Not all dogs are the same...
One of the most common questions we get asked by dog owners is, ‘What is the best age to introduce a dog training collar?’
A remote training collar can often be a very useful tool with pet dogs or working dogs. However, it is fair to say that each dog will respond differently, particularly at different ages. So, introducing a dog training collar is going to depend on the dog and its age.
Does your dog escape to visit his mates down the road? Do they escape to chase cars? Maybe your dog has just jumped the fence and caused havoc on the neighbour’s farm. The solution; stop your dog from being able to break the boundary of your property, which is sometimes easier said than done. There are many different methods and techniques to keep the escape artists contained; let’s go through your options.

Dog containment systems, also known as electric dog fencing, invisible dog fencing or in-ground radio fencing, have one main purpose - to keep your dog safe in your yard.
Dog fences are the most effective and reliable way to keep your dog in your yard because there's no way your dog can dig, jump, chew or pass through boundary. Keeping your dog safely contained dog prevents your dog from escaping the yard which may lead to being hit by a car, being picked up by the local pound/animal control officers, entering a neighbouring property or getting lost.

A bark collar is a device designed to deter a dog from barking by providing negative stimulation.
