"No-Shock" Anti-Barking Collar
The "Aboistop" collar is fitted with a battery-powered bark-sensing unit that sprays the dog's snout with citronella if it barks too loud and long. Dogs don't like the orangish smell of citronella but it's not offensive at low doses to humans.
The spray is 100 percent safe for all dogs and people.
The manufacturer says Aboistop eliminates up to 88 percent of nuisance barking. How-ever, most dogs will ignore the collar in emergency situations and bark anyway.
