You want to enforce some rules whether your dog is in the house or out with you on the park. You don’t want your dog barking all night, to the point your neighbors complain about you and your dog; neither do you want your dog chasing anything that moves when in a park.
This is why you need to consider buying a no-bark collar.
Be warned, though, that a collar is not an instant fix - it needs some time to work its effects on your dog’s behavior.
There is one particularly recommended unit available - dog shock collar.

Some Info for Shoppers

Now, there are thee main types of bark collars. There’s the static correction type, the sonic type, and the spray type. The shock collar, known also to many as the static correction collar, makes use of a low volt electric shock to startle the dog. The sonic type uses a high-pitched tone that is annoying to dogs - a sound only dogs can hear, since it’s beyond the range of normal human hearing. The spray type releases a harmless, scented chemical that annoys dogs, which have a sophisticated sense of smell. The shock or static correction collar remains, by far, the most popular.

The no-bark collar type, the three types of which have been covered above, activate once the dog barks, and hence are automatic. In this way, the dog shock collar sends out the static stimulus only when your dog barks.

As for whether static correction collars are inhumane, assuredly there are. The static shock one can get from carpets, one needs to keep in mind, is of the same intensity as that of the shock in static collars. There’s a reason why static collars enjoy good reviews from dog owners - they bring good results in less time.

It is this ability to consistently interrupt dog’s behavior - barking - that they serve as a good deterrent for the said behaviour. Many dog owners report a noticeably toning down of their dog’s loud and incessant barking in just a few days.

One may have to keep in mind, also, that no bark collars are designed only to correct one type of behavior, and that is barking. For a more general obedience training, one that is applied to working dogs and hunting dogs, training collars are needed. In this category, remote collars are subsumed. There are also remote shock collars. The difference is that the static correction is activated via a remote control manually activated by the owner, as opposed to an automatic sensor on the bark collar.
