Pet Resolve Anti-Bark Training Collar
It is being polite to say that small dogs constantly barking is a pain in the neck.

The Pet Resolve Anti Bark Training Collar addresses the barrage of pointless barking from the moment its anti-bark system is engaged.

The TBI approach takes a little more time but is just as effective.
You control the power of the vibration and loudness of the sound. The collar has a bark detector that activates before a dog starts barking, nipping it in the bud. The collar is water-resistant and works best on dogs smaller than 10 pounds.
It will not work well with dogs determined to bark or on very large dogs.
Pros
No shock means no injuring the dog
Two motors allow high-speed vibration
Detects when a dog barks and when it is about to bark
Runs up to 15 days with no charging needs
Cons
No shock means it probably will not work on particular energetic barkers

The collar also has a unique feature that only activates the collar after 2 barks within 30 seconds.
The No Harm Bark Collar is waterproof. Its battery lasts about 12 days and takes 2 hours to recharge. Best of all, it is a safe, harmless way to reinforce to your dog that inappropriate barking is not acceptable.
Pros
Tiered response to barking, including a delayed activation based on number of barks
Will not trigger when other dogs bark
Two microprocessor functions that anticipate when a dog will bark and activate
Cons
The shock part of the collar malfunctions occasionally. We saw it not always seem to deliver the correction. Could be a long hair issue with a doodle coat?
Tips for Picking the Perfect Small Dog Anti-Bark Training Collar
Before making any anti-barking collar purchases, make sure what you choose covers what you need. Here is some advice to help you pick the best collar for your small dog.
Size
Not all anti-bark collars work with smaller dogs. Before buying, verify the collar you pick is rated to work with medium to small dogs or exclusively with small dogs.
Multiple Correction Levels
Succeeding levels of punishment for inappropriate barking prevents your pet from becoming used to one static level of punishment.
Beep Warning
You want the collar to warn your dog and allow them to self-correct. Once your dog is used to the system, it may require only the beep to stop any barking.
Rechargeable Battery
Depending on how often your dog needs correcting, the batteries in your shock collar can drain quickly. It is expensive to have to replace batteries all the time. That makes rechargeable batteries indispensable.
Night Light
When walking your dog at night, a light around their neck is helpful, even if the range of the light is limited.
Avoid Standby Mode
Standby requires “ramp up,” which can mean the collar is inoperable when the dog is barking and operable after they stop barking. You want correction while the activity is occurring for it to be the most effective.
Waterproof
Your dog runs through wet grass, puddles, streams if you live in the country and all of it adds up to their collar becoming drenched. None of that includes getting caught in a downpour while you are out walking your pet. An anti-bark collar that is not waterproof is asking for trouble.
Make sure your anti-bark collar is waterproof.
Remote Control
Remote control is vital, especially as you train your dog not to bark unnecessarily. It gives the pet a little space to roam but lets you control bad behavior. You also can override the punitive function when it is appropriate.
Final Thoughts
A small dog that barks excessively is highly annoying and disruptive. Anti-bark collars teach your pet to bark sparingly. You want a collar that will teach your dog without hurting them mentally, emotionally, or physically.
Additionally, a collar that does not break the bank is helpful.
Any bark collar for small dogs covered in this list will provide you with what you need. Every model is reliable, consistent corrective actions that help modify your dog’s behavior without going too far.
