Anti bark collars...which one..??

I just use a cheapy one, does the job. The type with multiple volumes can be good for multidog households, e.g. teach one to respond to the quiet noise and one to the loud noise, and perhap might suit the dog that barks at noises better incase its a bit of anxiety about noises. But you can even improvise with household items - a biro that clicks up/down, with a push-top jar lid, even clucking your tongue or just using a 'bridge word' (e.g. yes, good, bingo - words you won't use for anything else), though words aren't the preferred option generally as your tone of voice can vary so much and confuse a dog.

I'd avoid the second one, I had one like that and it made such a loud metallic "click" it ended up scaring one of my dogs. It was a very harsh sound.

I've used one similar to the first one and found that to have a nicer tone to the click. These are the ones I now buy when I need a new one.

I've not used one like the third link so can't comment on how good it is

I used the first one and it did the job.

Doesn't stand up well to chewing though!

Thanx again...I have now ordered my 'clicker'... I dare not use a pen because my dogs would just be getting used to it and someone would 'borrow' it and I wouldn't see it again...
I will update my progress its the least I can do after all your ideas ;-))

If you shout when the little one indoors starts off he will think you are joining in and that there is really something worrying to bark at, so do keep calm and try to distract him with a favourite toy.
