I will admit that I did use a Citronella collar on my Westie - I think it was much preferable to debarking.
It didn't take but about one time for him to figure the entire thing out. Now, we just put it on him in the early, early morning or late at night. The collar ran out of citronella about a year ago - but, again, he's no dummy.
