An article published in The West Australian newspaper on May 26, 2009 stated that the owners of nuisance dogs can be fined up to $4000.

Colin Seal from The Dog Line has found that dogs being left at home alone commonly feature in enquiries received for bark control collars. "Peoples' focus is usually on ensuring that their dog can still bark when it needs, but not to the point that it is causing a nuisance" Colin explained.

There are many bark control collars on the market which are designed with different features to assist with most barking situations. Seeking advice on what would best suit a particular dog and the environment it lives in is essential to help retrain the dog.
