Citronella Collars

Citronella Dog Training is the use of a citronella dog collar to teach your dog not to commit certain actions. Citronella Collars will spray a shot of citronella juice under your dogs chin when he or she commits the action, and the dog learns to associate the action with getting an unpleasant smell in his or her face. This is considered more humane, and more affective that electrocuting your dog. I'm sure the dog would agree with that statement. Citronella Dog Collars are available in both sound activated and remote control models, and both have their uses.

Sound Activated Citronella Collars are great for barking dogs. The sound of the dogs bark will set off the gentle spray citronella bark collar, and the dog will get a puff of citronella juice when he barks. The dog will learn that he gets a spray every time he barks, and will stop barking.

Sound activated is just not going to work for some applications such as your dog digging in the yard, using the bathroom inside, jumping up on people, chewing on things, and getting on furniture. The best thing for these situations is the use of a remote control collar, where you can press a button to give your dog a burst of citronella every time he commits an unwanted action.

There are two main things that citronella collars need to function, other than a dog. They need batteries to power them, and citronella oil. Both are available at a great price.
