I met a lady at the Vets with a little breed that is known for barking - and mentioned to her that she probably has a little barker on her hands. She said she didn't because she had a good trainer and her dog almost never barked.

Well OF COURSE -- I asked her what her trainer did.

She said he had her get some Binaca breath spray and spray the little dog's mouth (only the mouth) whenever it started on a barking spree (not every time it barked). She said we use Binaca ourselves and know what it is like. It is totally harmless (especially the small amount you have to use with a puppy) but a little strong, and definitely something that puppies do not like the taste of.

Anyway she said she sprayed her pup whenever it decided to go on a barking spree and it quickly stopped the pup from doing that.

In fact, before the dog starts barking now, she said it looks around to see if she and the binaca are in sight. And, if it sees her watching, it stays as quiet as a little mouse.

Just wondered what you thought!

PS -- The vet heard this and thought it was a "clever idea" ---especially since it seems to work.
