the "yikes" de bark surgery I have learned never to say never, but I don't think I could ever debark a dog, although I have had a few that I was seriously considering. : )?But when I hear them it makes my throat hurt, I just can't take the raspy sound.? : ) -----Original Message----- From: Norma Ramey <gsdramey@xxxxxxx> To: Jessica MacMillan <spotted101@xxxxxxxxxxx>; stormy435@xxxxxxx; showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wed, 17 Sep 2008 2:11 pm Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Barking Thanks all of you great folks. It is the NO BARK device and I'd mentioned that in my first post. However, not sure of the manufacturer so it could be the Tritronics jess mentions. However, a sure fire way to stop the barking was something the wonderful late E. J. Murphy had to do for all her dogs because of her location -- the "yikes" de bark surgery. As time goes on there is a return of some sound but it isn't a deep or loud one.

There is the hand-held version which you can hit the button and it emmits a sound that only dogs can hear or you have the kind that you can hang on the wall and it goes off to any bark - also noiseless to the human ear. There are multiple manufacturers for this type of object. I believe TriTronics has one and there are a couple of other ones on the web. Stormy, if you figure out how to discourage barking, I know there are others that would appreciate it. My mom has a couple of barky dals and has resorted to everyone owning their own personal no-bark collar. All you have to do now is show it to the "suspect" barker (usually Coral) and they all shut up immediately! Jess M.
