barking problems resolved Bark Repeller

[maritoma]

I had the citronella bark collar and it did not work for my guy. He would get sprayed with it stop for a brief second and continue again. I think the smell was affecting us more than him. I still continue to have a barking problem and not sure how to stop him.

My Rocco is a barker and I was told not to yell "stop it" because he would think I'm joining his barking party. What has helped is shaking a can with pennies. He stops and looks at me then I whisper "enough" and keep eye contact till he turns his stare away from me. Its been working so far.

I think I need to order one of these and work on our "quiet" command, Elvis barks like a nut outside. I'd love to get a handle on it.

This thing works, but I'm so worried it hurts my yorkie. She doesnt whine or anything when I press the button. She just seems startled.

Sounds like a good sign. If it hurts your baby will yelp or something. All you want to do is startle her to stop the barking.

Would this work for two puppies that play too rough sometimes? I dont know any other way to train them not to play rough?

Are they two puppies the same size or breed? Unless one is really a lot bigger, I'd let them work it out. The bark repeller works better, if you don't use it that much. like most adversive punishments, the animal gets use to it in time, and it no longer produces the desired effect.
