I was at my wits end. I love my little two year old pug but the barking was getting insane. My dog Woodstock barks at everything. Today was no exception. He barked at the kids getting off the school bus, the mailman, my neighbors jogging, you name it he was barking at them like the end of the world was coming.
I had been checking out several pet blogs to see what I could do and found about about an anti barking collar that I could place around to motivate him to stop barking. I was unsure as to whether it would actually work but I gave it a try anyway.
Sure enough it did.
The first couple days were unpleasant for my dog. He did not like the collar at all. At first he was happy every morning to put it on. He thought that he was going for a walk. But it was not long before he learned that his incessant barking days are over. I understand that dogs bark. I have no problem with that. I do however have a problem with dogs barking at every little thing or person and so out of control you cannot think.
Overall I am very pleased with the device. It was a $100 well spent. I consistently put the collar on my dog for two weeks and now he does not bark at people. I did not by a guard dog. If I wanted a dog to protect me I would have gotten German Shepard. I have something in my house, actually several, and its called a gun. I do not require my dog to bark at everything that comes within 50 feet from my house. I highly recommend these collars.
