Why MaxBarks is Better Than a Bark Collar for Small Dogs Under 10 Lbs.
Welcome to the quiet side of pet ownership!
If you're the loving parent of a pint-sized dog under 10 lbs. who has a full-sized bark, you’ve likely wondered how to keep the peace without causing distress to your furry friend.
Bark collars are a common choice for small and large dog owners. However, many people don’t realize that there’s an even better option for small dogs that is designed specifically for them (12 lbs and under). That means whether you have a chihuahua, yorkie, maltese, miniature poodle, or another small breed, there’s an anti-bark solution that is completely safe, comfortable, and effective for them.
This blog post will dive into why the MaxBarks vest is the superior choice over a traditional bark collar for small dogs under 10 lbs. Keep reading to learn why.
Barking up the right tree: designed for small dogs’ comfort
Picture this: your little canine companion, weighing less than a gallon of milk, strapped with a bark collar around their throat that’s anything but petite. Traditional bark collars can be bulky, and for dogs under the tender threshold of 10 lbs, that’s more than just a slight inconvenience – it's a huge discomfort.
This also means your pup is unlikely to be able to wear its bulky bark collar for extended periods, which is problematic if you plan to use it while you’re at work or away from the home for several hours.
Enter MaxBarks: engineered with the mini mutt in mind. MaxBarks isn’t a bulky bark collar, it’s a lightweight vest that fits snugly and comfortably over your pooch’s body and delivers vibrations when triggered by barking. These harmless vibrations startle your dog out of their heightened state so they stop the unwanted behavior.
Since MaxBarks is is designed as a vest instead of a collar, it distributes its minimal weight evenly across your dog’s torso, ensuring that they can strut their stuff comfortably, whether they’re a 3-lb teacup terrier or a 9-lb miniature dachshund dynamo. This ensures a much greater level of comfort than a large heavy bark collar box around their throat.
Note that we’re not just talking about comfort and kindness here; we’re also talking about cutting-edge design. MaxBarks has hidden not one, not two, but four small motors within its sleek vest. This isn’t some clunky anti-bark gear; it's the James Bond of the dog world – sleek, sophisticated, and smart. No bulky boxes, no awkward protrusions – just a chic vest that looks as good as it works.
A gentler nudge: vibration over shock
We all prefer a nudge over a shock when we need to change our behavior, and guess what? So do dogs. While a traditional bark collar for small dogs under 10 lbs might rely on static shock, the MaxBarks vest uses a humane approach – vibration.
Why vibration? Because it’s gentle yet effective.
Research has shown that positive reinforcement techniques lead to better long-term behavior changes in dogs. Shock collars can be frightening for small pups and lead to negative long-term outcomes such as fear, anxiety, urination, and potential worsening of the behavior. In addition, causing pain through shocks can be cruel, which is why the ASPCA does not encourage the use of shock collars.
MaxBarks relies on vibrations to startle the dog out of their heightened state. While not painful, the vibrations are unpleasant and effectively discourage continued barking. MaxBarks acts as a nudge for the dog to change their behavior rather than as a startling or painful correction, making it a kinder choice for your dog’s training.
Walking on Sunshine (and Silence) with leash-friendly MaxBarks
To the dog owners who love their walks but not the barking at every squirrel, mailbox, and leaf along the way – we hear you. The MaxBarks vest is compatible with your dog's leash, which means no more juggling extra gadgets. Just clip on the leash and enjoy your peaceful promenade.
While some bark collars are leash compatible, not all are designed to be used with a leash. This is fine if you only plan to use the collar at home, but for outdoor adventures, you’ll have to rely on two collars, one for walking and one for barking – not an ideal scenario.
Plus, with MarxBarks’ long-lasting battery, you and your pooch are set for those extended explorations or even just lounging in the backyard without a single unwanted bark. Who knew silence could be this easy and this mobile?
