I've seen those citronella collars but I can't stand the smell and the dog would smell like that anytime you use the collar.

I was reading an article on barking problems and they said that some of these products work well and others don't because of the personality of the dog. If the dog is extremely persistant (stubborn ) and more of the independent type, things like the ultra sonic things won't work. My Tinka is one like that... resistant to most everything - she just wants ME to be home with her.

I have to figure something out, I can't face another loss now.

Anyone have any other ideas?
