When out there looking for the best chihuahua barking collar, the specifications you should be actively looking for aren’t exactly similar to those of barking collars designed to meet the needs of other dog breeds.
The following list mentions some of the most important features that any Chihuahua bark collar should have so that you’ll be able to use it on them as safely and as effectively as possible.
Variety Of Levels: The last thing you’ll ever want to have your Chihuahua wear around their neck is a shock collar that only offers you a limited number of shock levels to work with.
The level of shock one dog may be able to withstand may very well kill another dog that’s significantly smaller in size and physical power, which is the case with Chihuahuas.
The type of shock collar you’ll want your Chihuahua to wear is one that allows you to work with a wide range of shock levels, starting all the way from very weak shock levels, because you really shouldn’t need to go higher than that with a dog as small as a Chihuahua.
Beep Before Shock: An important issue you should know about is that not all bark collars for dogs, bark collars for Chihuahuas included, are reliant on electric shock.
One of the most important features that make using a shock collar on your Chihuahua as safe as can be is a “beep” sound or vibration you can make use of as a warning signal to your Chi.
By using the remote controller that comes with the collar, you can issue a beep sound that your Chihuahua hears or a vibration that they’re subjected to and feel around their neck area instead of a shock.
Many Chihuahua owners find that they managed to get their Chihuahuas to associate this beep sound or vibration with “bad behavior”, and that they were able to stop their Chihuahua’s barking just by using the beep sound or vibration on a consistent basis.
So, for all of you reading this who are afraid of subjecting their Chihuahuas to shocks because of negative repercussions associated with such an act, look for these 2 features (or one of them, at least) in any Chihuahua barking collar and give it a try that way.
Other barking collars you can get to use for your Chihuahua’s barking are citronella barking collars, for example, which also offer you a very practical methodology if you’re looking to stay away from subjecting your Chihuahua to any sort of electric shock.
Lightweight: Seeing that Chihuahuas tend to weigh only 1.5 kg to 3 kg in general, this means that any bark collar you have them wear around their neck should be super lightweight.
Trying to have them wear a bark collar around their neck that weighs a third of their weight is just asking for trouble, so always make sure that any shock collar your have your Chihuahua wear is only a fraction of their body weight.
