Two commercially available antibarking collars (i.e., a citronella spray collar and an electronic shock collar) were evaluated for efficacy and user satisfaction as reported by owners after a two-week trial period for each collar. While both collars were effective in decreasing barking (88.9% for the citronella spray collar and 44.4% for the electronic shock collar), most owners expressed a preference for the citronella spray collar. Owners perceived it as being more humane and indicated that they willingly would use it on a long-term basis to decrease their dogs' nuisance barking. While the citronella spray collar has some drawbacks, it is another tool for managing excessive barking.
对两款市售的止吠项圈（即香茅喷雾项圈和电击项圈）进行了功效评估，并在每款项圈经过两周的试验期后，由狗主人报告了他们对产品的满意度。两款项圈在减少犬吠方面均有效果（香茅喷雾项圈为88.9%，电击项圈为44.4%），但大多数狗主人表示更喜欢香茅喷雾项圈。主人认为它更人道，并表示愿意长期使用它来减少狗狗令人讨厌的吠叫。虽然香茅喷雾项圈有一些缺点，但它是控制过度吠叫的另一种工具。
