Hi, rather than put any kind of collar on a dog when a person isn't there with them due to so many accidents that could happen, I've always recommended something that is really neat and helps without needing anything at all on the dog --- It works with a sound that you can adjust, if YOU want to heare it or NOT. It's neat and works even if the neighbor want feels the need to keep the neighborhood quiet -- Ha! It's called BARK FREE and you can check out their website at www.lentek.com I was very pleased and only put it on if I knew I needed it at the boarding kennel if I had some loud mouth character there. Once they get the message, they'll just be quiet, not knowing if it's on or off. LOL I liked the fact that it didn't do any harm and if I had it that people couldn't hear it, OK! Hope this helps.

I know there are ones that are Ultrasonic and others that spray. Has anyone used them, and what one would you recommend?
