today i bought a bark collar!....ive been considering it for a while, ive been trying to stop freds barking in the garden, and its proved to be an almost impossible task, i cant always be out there with him,the dogs are shut outside every morning while i clean up, so i dont always get there in time to stop the barking!...

he has had the collar on this afternoon, and it has been bliss in the garden.... he tried barking a few times, but he soon got the message when the collar sprayed him lol....

when my dad was on his was back to my house earlier i put the collar on fred ready for his arrival, fred was behind the stairgate when my dad arrived, fred tried to bark once and didnt bother again, he just sat down in defeat lol... it was great, and then my dad was able to stroke him without all the fuss!

i wish i had got one before now

I once got a collar for summer cos she does love the sound of her
own voice,it was the kind that gives off a high pitched noise but
it didnt bother her in the slightest,it just bugged the hell out of
everybody else

lol, the one ive got sprays a citronella substance in his face ....

ive also had a bark stop machine too, you place it in the house or garden,and when the dog barks it emits a high pithed noise that only the dog can hear.... that was a waste of time lol....he just barked louder and longer

Ooh i might give the spray one a go,sounds better than the other one :thinking:

word of advice hun *not trying teach you how to suck eggs lol* leave the collar on him at other times tho too as he will relise only wen he has that collar on does he get sprayed

my drugs dogs whinged and barked in the police vans so we got the one that spays a puff of air at her face *magic* lol and i left it on her all day only took it off wen doing my searches or wen i thought it may cause a accident

glad its worked hun :love:

Never had one of the before... They sound good.

yea thats fine hun but wat i ment was also put it on him wen hes less likely to bark so pottering round house as he will learn wen its on he will get sprayed so may start doing it at unusual times instead too if that makes sence.... cos dont to me pmsl xxx

awww right i get ya now hun.... i never thought of that....i will put it on him for most of the day then ...xx

lol so i made a lil sence then i would only have it o wen your around so you know he wont get hurt ec i dunno wat yours looks like better safe then sorry xx

Bought Misty one, she just ignores it and still barked at everything :2431:

dont tell me that sange lol.... im hoping it continues to work with fred...

freds is only a small one faz...its like a black slim collar and a small box on it that sprays....so he doesnt really notice it, until it sprays lol

lol awww yea should be fine but nothings a sure thing lol

very true hun... i know most trainers dont like these gadgets,but when all else fails for us mere mortal owners, we need all the help we can get :2431:

hey hun use wat works i say with in reason

altho i ment him getting the collar caught :2445:
