We have a bark genie (got it for Anna) and it's great when we are here. It's not automatic so unless I'm here to use it, no effect. My husband found some great treats today and we tried one out on Barney. I was able to walk right out of the condo and he paid no attention whatsoever. So this evening, we're going to give it a try. I got to swim for a while this morning and my husband enjoys fishing in the evenings. So it is working out ok to take turns. Eating dinner at the condo is kind of nice too. We'll see. This is a very small condo. 4 units on top level and 4 on bottom. We have met our neighbors on each side and they are so nice.

On the upside, the view is amazing and there are very few people on the beach. I counted 7 total this morning. Anna, who normally is a bear around people, has been perfect.
