What is the best bark collar for small dogs?

It is important to understand there are a range of anti bark collars for dogs and bark collars in Australia are regulated. One of the highest selling bark collars in Australia is the BT7 DogWatch brand available through Hidden Fence. Combined with online convenience and the option of either online dog training or professional dog training through Hidden Fence’s Australian network of distributors, the BT7 Dog Watch anti bark collar is arguably the most suitable and best bark collar for small dogs.

When it comes to reducing excessive barking in small dogs, the use of a bark collar is a common solution especially if owners are not at home all the time. However, not all bark collars are created equal, and finding the best one for your small dog can be a challenge. To ensure the most effective and safe option, the ideal bark collar for small dogs should include adjustable settings, progressive levels of stimulation, bark forgiveness (delay), a bark counter, long-lasting battery life with a low battery indicator, and be lightweight and waterproof. In addition, it should have an adjustable collar strap and fit snugly.

The BT7 DogWatch

The BT7 DogWatch brand, available through Hidden Fence,  offers all of the features mentioned above and is adjustable to suit a range of dog breeds and sizes. The collar strap is made from soft and flexible material that is comfortable for the dog to wear for extended periods of time. The collar also has a safety feature that ensures that the collar stops working after a certain amount of time to avoid causing harm or discomfort to the dog.

DogWatch’s BT7  anti bark collar has seven levels of correction that are progressive and automatically adjust to the dog’s barking behavior. The collar also has a bark forgiveness (delay) feature that prevents it from being triggered by other noises, such as the sound of other dogs barking or background noise and allows your dog to bark naturally for acceptable periods. The bark counter feature keeps track of the number of barks and helps to monitor the effectiveness of the collar over time.

The battery life of the BT7 DogWatch bark collar is long-lasting, with up to 6 months of use between charges. The collar also has a low battery indicator that alerts the owner when it’s time to charge the device. The collar is also waterproof, making it suitable for use in all weather conditions and for dogs that like to swim.

When it comes to fitting the collar, it’s important to ensure that it fits snugly on the smallest part of the dog’s neck, just below the dog’s ears. The collar strap is adjustable, allowing for a custom fit that is comfortable for the dog. The contact posts should be touching the area on the dog’s neck where the corrective/distracting vibration can be detected, and should not be too loose or too tight. 

Additional Feature

In addition to the high-quality features of the BT7 DogWatch bark collar, Hidden Fence also offers the option of online or professional dog training to ensure that the collar is used correctly and safely. This is especially important for small dogs, as they can be more sensitive to corrective measures.
Overall, the BT7 DogWatch bark collar is a highly effective and safe option for reducing excessive barking in small dogs. It can be used on dogs as small as 2kg, and its adjustable settings, progressive levels of stimulation, bark forgiveness (delay), bark counter, long-lasting battery life with a low battery indicator, lightweight and waterproof design, and adjustable collar strap make it a top choice for small dog owners. Combined with the option of online or professional dog training through Hidden Fence’s network of distributors, the BT7 DogWatch bark collar is the best bark collar for small dogs in Australia.
