 Collars
I was in the same boat as you. My dogs would get in the bay window and pull the blinds down with their nose and bark so loudly I could hear them all the way in the parking lot as if they were behind me. And yes, they do get put up when I am not here, but this would be if I was walking to the car for something and someone was in here. I know if I could hear them at the car, everyone else could around us. The people that lived underneath us moved out, and I have a feeling that my two barking yorkies that bark when someone walks up the stairs or a leaf blows by the wondow plus their new crying baby just didn't work out. So, I really didn't have a choice. We are working on no bark, and it is starting to work, but there had to be an instant solution before anyone else moved in---or out. Even when I left, I could still hear them bark loudly when they put up outside the door- barely, but I could still hear them. It got to the point they were just barking over each other. So, I am totally against shock collars!! However, a friend told me of a family member that had to put one on her yorkie when they went into crowded places. I was so torn, but decided I had to have something that worked, but I didn't want to hurt my babies! So I did buy shock collars. They were nothing like what I thought. They were not too bad at all. I had a horrible picture in mind of my poor dogs crying. They are for small dogs and give a light shock. They only barked once with them on, and that was it. They haven't barked the rest of the day. It has been a lot better. It beeps when it starts to shock them, and I say no bark. I took them off, and no bark is working a lot better, even after just a day. I just wanted to share!!! Good luck! |
