So we have a citronella bark collar it comes with citronella that you can load into the collar it is fairly simple, anyone could do it, you can just load the collar up here like this. This spray comes out of this part right here, you want to make sure when you put it on you actually have it turned on to the one position and that is on the correct position on your dog. So this collar would be fit around with this curve part on the neck of the dog and this spray part up so when the dog barks you would actually get a spray of citronella coming out. So when the dog barks he is irreversibly condition to barking because it a little bit obnoxious he is not painful, it is not going to traumatize the dog but is in a little bit obnoxious it is something that they don't like having the citronella spray in front of them and the important thing is that you are right there when they bark, give them the quiet command, they get sprayed reinforced and praised for barking. So this could be a tool and you got multiple dogs and you got a lot of barking this could be something that you can use on one or all of the dogs to try to control the barking. Typically if you use this correctly it is a training tool and not as a patch or a band aid you can actually teach the dog not to nescient bark or when they bark to be quiet after barking using this citronella bark collar.
