It is always a good thing to look first at reviews when you are considering buying a small dog barking collar. I think you may have a little more trouble finding a collar to fit a small dog, so keep looking, they are there online if they aren’t at your local pet store.
Look at what the reviewers are saying about the collars in relation to which type of dog. Consider if they are discussing a dog similar to yours.
Then you will need to decide which type of small dog barking collar you would feel happy using. Would you go for one which emitted an ultra-sonic sound that only your dog could hear? Would you rather have one which just vibrated when it sensed your dog was barking? Would you choose one which would give the dog a shock when they barked? Or would you consider one which released a small spray of citronella the best one to choose? You will find that the citronella collar might not be available in a small size and they need constant refills of citronella, especially if your dog barks a lot and the collar sprays a lot.
Citronella might help in another way, it would keep the mosquitoes at bay also!!
You need to consider the other implications of using an ultra sonic collar. You might not be able to hear it but your dog will and of course so will other pets in your home. You may find that the pets will get a little confused as to why they are hearing this sound. Even the animal wearing the collar may not connect the sound with his barking.
None of them could be construed as cruelty to dogs, they are merely either a smell they don’t like, a sound they don’t like or a feeling they don’t like. Nothing that would harm them in any way.
You have to consider others also when you have a dog which barks either incessantly or excessively. If you have to go out to work you wouldn’t feel too happy to know that your dog was causing annoyance to others, either the rest of your family or your neighbors.
Every day dogs are taken away from their neighbors if they are known to constantly cause a nuisance in this fashion. I am sure you would do anything to avoid that scenario.
Static discharge anti bark collars are really designed specifically with small and toy breeds in mind. The collars themselves are very light and small and the shock it delivers is so very mild no harm can come to your dog. It merely lets the dog know that this excessive and unnecessary barking is not acceptable and pretty soon the dog gets the message and stops the barking.
Of course the collars are weatherproof, they wouldn’t be much good if they weren’t. The power comes from batteries and this makes it easy to either change the batteries when necessary or re-charge them.
