anti-bark colars

My old Dane was profoundly deaf and used to bark for the joy of it - she was the only one who didn't hear it! I rented a citronella collar for a week to see if it made a difference. Nope. However the house smelt lovely and lemoney for a few days! :rotfl:

How would you like lemon sprayed into your face? Personally I do not find that very funny.

Anti bark collars generally can cause more behavioural problems than they solve. You need to adress the reasons behind the barking.

What Not to Do
The use of citronella collars, spray bottles, shouting or shaking cans of marbles near delicate ear structures have undesirable side-effects. Punishment may incite yourdog to aggress, become fearful, damage your relationship, and nurture a negative association/relationship with whatever or whoever your dog is barking at. .

Find a good behaviourist and consult with them.
