Hi I'm new to the list but my thoughts are sing a coller that emits a sound that all the dogs can hear doesn't work ecause you are also affecting the dogs that aren't barking. Since they ren't doing it they will learn to ignore it. I have used in the past a pray bottle with vinegar and water and hit them with a blast when they tart barking at nothing. I hit them in the face but NOT the eyes. My lder GSD would go outside and bark at 2 am while I was still up. the only ay I stopped her was to put my goldens E collar on tell her it was ok to go ut. when she was outside andstarted barking I just zapped her. she came n running with a look of shock on her like WHAT HAPPENED. i just looked at er and said calmly "Whats wrong did something happen? go on you can go utside." She started again and I zapped her again. does not go out arking for no reason anymore. I had it set on the lowest setting. It orked. ichele KC Ch Star AKC pointed CKC pointed On Tue, Oct 26, 2010 at 11:35 AM, <cheradongsd@xxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi all, I have a 10 month old puppy that is a barker--and it is driving me crazy. And it gets all the other dogs going too. For the first time in over 30 years, I am stumped. I just bought an electronic bark breaker-supposedly when they bark it admits a 2 second untrasonic sound that we cant hear--but they can--except that she dosent pay ANY attention to it at all. In fact, no one seems to even notice it. Any ideas??? I dont know that I want to try the bark collar-has to be a pain putting it on and off all the time-and I wouldnt want to leave it on her all the time--dont know what to do. I am at my whits end.
