Electric bark collars, often referred to as shock collars, look similar to regular dog collars, but they come equipped with a device designed to deliver electrical currents. When a dog barks excessively, the collar emits a mild electric shock to correct the behaviour. The advantage of these collars lies in their adjustable settings, allowing the owner to control the intensity of the shock. Generally, the lowest setting provides a tickling sensation, while the highest can be painful. The primary purpose of these collars is to aid in training dogs, helping to improve their behaviour.
