Hi, I need some information on no bark collars for small dogs. My Emma is 3.5 lbs. I never would have even thought about such a collar (not sure I agree with them), but my living circumstances have changed.

I'm moving to an apt. building that doesn't allow dogs, however because I'm disabled, my doctor completed a form saying I needed Emma as a "reasonable accommodation." The managing company has "warned" that if there is any barking or disturbing neighbors, that I'd have to get rid of her. No way am I losing Emma. She does not bark when I'm with her and normally doesn't bark when I leave her alone where I live now (there are others around nearby and the cats are here). I'm worried that being in a new place (very quiet, no cats) that she may whine or yip if I leave her. I'd like to say I could take her everwyhere with me, but that is not realistic (with the wind chill today here in VT it is about 3 below zero) and I'd rather not take her out in such weather, also there may be things like dr. apts where I can't take her.

So, after all that explanation, does anyone use a no bark collar on their small Yorkie and if so, can you please give me information on it?

Thanks,
Sammer
