Everyone has different opinions on this topic, but I don't believe citronella collars are cruel in any way. It doesn't actually spray them..It sprays out of the collar, and it is not toxic in any way. Mostly, it's done to startle them. The sound of the spray and the distinct smell of citronella deters them from barking. If a person is not there to correct the behavior, I believe this collar is a good one.
It just startles them, the same way that pennies in a can do, or the same way that using a water spray bottled does.
