| Citronella Bark Collar Has anyone ever used a citronella bark collar? Two out of my 4 dogs have a terrible barking problem. It gets so embarrassing when someone comes over and I'm yelling at the dogs instead of greeting our guests~ Kara |

| We have one. It doesn't work 100% of the time because the hair gets in the way and blocks the sensor but it's better than nothing. The batteries are really hard to find and it does make me feel a little guilty. Having said that, we haven't used it in about 6 months and the barking has gotten out of control so I guess its time to go on a battery hunt. |

| I looked at them at the Fosters and Smith catalog and it says they can only be used on dogs 8 llbs or more. My Chachis 10 so it would work for him but my Jewels is 6 so I would not try it for her. Chachi is my bad barker though so I may get one for him.

| I used it for Edie. She is 6 lbs. Worked fine. Smith and Foster says to use it only for dogs under 8 lbs but as I recall, the manufacturer says it is OK for smaller dogs. |

| I'm alittle worried about putting a collar on them. They have never worn collars~ I would obviously not put one on Chelsie with her collapsed trachea. (she can no longer bark anyway from surgery) But Tessa is a big 10 pounder, and a LOUD barker! Lydia (7 months) has started to chime in with her now and she has that high pitched "little dog" bark. She is under 4 pounds though~ Maybe it's not to late to train her with another method if I can get Tessa under control. Kara |
