We tried a bark collar on a Lab several years ago. Only put it on her once. It didn't make her stop barking but caused her a lot of pain from what I could tell. Promptly took it off and threw it in the trash. Yes, I'd have to say it was inhumane. Never again! When the dogs start barking, it usually only lasts a minute or two. I just try to hush them as best I can and then they go on about their business. Now, when they go outside, that's a different story. If they get to barking I just bring them back in. |
