Comments for Citronella Bark Collar http://www.thecitronellacollar.com A blog that will focus on the citronella bark collar Mon, 01 Jun 2009 14:20:17 -0700 http://wordpress.org/ hourly 1 Comment on Reviews by Kelly http://www.thecitronellacollar.com/bark-collar-reviews/comment-page-1#comment-17 Kelly Mon, 01 Jun 2009 14:20:17 +0000 http://www.thecitronellacollar.com/?page_id=10#comment-17 I bought a citronella barking collar for my beagle after it was recommended to me by a friend. I found the cost to be rather high (approx $80), but I bought it anyway, because my beagle's barking and baying was getting to be really excessive and pointless, not to mention annoying. I put the collar on her, she barked and got sprayed four times, then stopped. Now, when she starts barking, I put the collar on her and she stops. I don't even have to turn it on (and I usually don't, since those batteries cost $15!). The only problems I've had is that sometimes if she is wearing the collar in a noisy area, it will spray her even if she doesn't bark in response to the noise around her. I feel bad about that, so I usually keep it off in areas with lots of ambient noise (traffic, other dogs barking, kids playing, etc). Also, another friend told me that her vet cautioned against this product because the spray causes brain damage. I can't find information about that online. Anybody heard this? Please clarify.
