hi my mum has got a complaint regarding her dogs,they live in a large dog run.the neighbour says they bark constantly during the day when she is out. i have seen in the pet shop some device like a coller that emits a sound or could be a electric shock when they bark, has anyone here used one and does it work.cheers

My mate has one for there dog, works a treat. He barks really quiet now, more of a wimper. Cost about 70 quid I think.

Personally I think those collars are quite sadistic, I know barking dogs can be annoying, but fitting them with something that shocks them when they bark!?!?

they are really in-humane and are very painful (take it from me, it bloody hurts!!) theres a more humane one which emits a citrus blast and its a very strong smell for a dog, works just as efficiently as well. they are a lot cheaper too iirc.

Totally agree, you need a Citronella collar which is a noise activated collar which squirts a blast of citrus at the dog as it barks.

You can hire them from good pet shops but they are pretty cheap anyway

thanks for replies,will be looking at the citrus spray,will see if pet at home has one 2mrw,wasnt too keen on the shock one but i thought a sound emitting wouldnt be harmful.cheers

Glad you aint gonna get a shock emitting one

Talking of barking dogs, my new ex farm collie never barks unless a cat or a crow is in her garden. It's quite strange having a dog who very rarely barks.

as mentioned the citrus spraying ones or the audible one (they arent loud but it startles the dog),

My dog has now decided it is cool to bark all the time... there is a dog somewhere I think is left out all the time, you can only just hear it barking in the distance but if course super ears can hear it when shes in doors !!
