Dear Beth:
First, i might attempt to find out what's inflicting the dog to bark. it's going to be nothing quite nuisance barking. during which case, a bark collar would work best.
But i might 1st rule out all different factors, such as:
- A neighbor's child UN agency is also taunting your dog.
- Lack of exercise/stimulation.
- Throwing a toy outside of the pen then barking in an endeavor to "make it return back"
- Any range of different factors that would be eliminated before dropping $100 on a bark collar.
I don't recognize what sort of exercise program you have your dog on currently, however it in all probability would not hurt to shop for a bicycle and begin taking your dog for long runs. (It's smart for you, too!)
As that bark collars to use... those that I've had the foremost success with area unit the Tri-Tronics Bark electric circuit. I've tried a budget yellow ones they sell at the pet stores and have found them to be poorly built, systematically over or under-correcting your dog, and resetting themselves too quickly.
The citronella collars area unit for the most part a joke. The get clogged and jam oft. The citronella runs out. Plus, i am not crazy regarding spraying the things in your dog's eyes.
That's all for currently, folks!
