I know the smell of citronella, having used candles to keep the bugs away and it's not a pleasant smell. I did not want my dog smelling like that. To be sprayed in the face with this, to me,
is cruel when there are other options available. I know it does not hurt them but it just wasn;'t something I was interested in. The other way takes
being consistent and having patience on the owner's part. Perhaps some
don't have the time or the patience to be consistent. I know you can't be with them 24/7 but in the time it takes for them to realize the can/noise/bark
goes together you will have a barkless dog in a couple of days. He will not
bark when your not home once he's learned. Leave the can on the table
where he can see it. Once he's made the connection he dosen't know the
can can't shake itself. He just does not like the sound it's going to make
if he barks.
It worked wonder's for Buddy. A YT'er suggested it to me and I am very
thankful. Like anything else, it's a matter of preference I think. |
A co-worker has a rottie that barks and barks every time she brings him to work. She got a citronella collar for him and he's quiet now. he's learned that when the collar is on, he needs to be quiet. I can see why you don't prefer it because yes sometimes it will spray them in the face instead of in front of their face. It also smells alot like lemon pledge and i wouldn't want my dog to smell like that either. LOL thank god morgan never barks
