I REALLY want to get this too!! Was just hoping I'd hear a positive (or negative) review and know what to do....

Post #8 has a negative review.

When I feed him, he waits until I have the fresh water and the food down. He looks at me and he does not go for his bowl until he has looked at me for a bit, like he is asking permission. I tell him, "Eat" and then he eats.

LOL...now he has started barking as I am typing this...LOL

omg abby does this too. wen she seees me gettin hrer food ready, she will stay like maybe 5-7 feet away and watch me do it. I put the bowl down n then she does that head tilting thing i love. i have to walk away and tell her "ok Abby eat ur food" n then she looks and waits till im not lookin at her so she can eat. wat do u think that means?

They know if they bark then they are going to get sprayed. That to me is an easy and cheap fix. But I also believe you have to find out what works for your dog. I have seen the pennies in the soda can and to tell you the truth some it works for and others it doesn't.

GREAT idea!!! Especially since the dogs both HATE water already!!!

1. EXERCISE. My Cavalier gets super annoying and will stand facing his human family, barking at us. He also used to bark any time anyone was within proximity of our apartment, indoors or out, so basically ALL the time. I started waking up an hour earlier and jogging with him (OK more of a really fast walk) for 45 min to an hour each morning and same thing at night. If you can't do this, hire a dog walker or neighborhood kid to do it. Tired dogs don't bark! Its actually funny, because he'll let out little barks and half growls now, but he is all stretched out sleeping so he is too tired to give it the full volume concert he used to do.

2. Busy Buddy - Twist n Treat Dog Toy - Medium | Treat Dispensers | Toys | Dog - ThatPetPlace.com
Specifically for seperation anxiety barking - I fill this toy with treats before I leave and the dogs 'work' to get the treats out. I just use some of their regular 'kibble' portion of food so we don't get overweight.

Good luck!

Lexie and Beau walk with me for about 1.5 hours a day!!! They are TERRIBLE on the walk (even after both have been in obedience; they heel but bark madly while doing it...)

They don't bark from separation anxiety; they are both in kennels when alone. They just bark because they like too...and we live next to a park so there are a LOT of noises to bark at...

So I'm trying to find a HUMANE way to stop her barking. I will NOT try shock collars, for personal reasons, so please don't even suggest it! Now my question:

1. Does anyone have this? Dog Bark Control: PetSafe Ultrasonic Bark Control System No-Bark Collars

Does it work??

2. What do you all have that DOES work?


Thanks!

I bought this a few months ago from Dr. Foster & Smith and i would like to tell you not to waste your money. It works but you have to press the button so if im leaving the house i have to take it with me so that i can press it or while he's barking press it slam the door. Make sure i dont mash my hand trying to escape quickly.

I even tried it while in the house and he just barks over it. He jolts a little so i am not sure what kind of effect that will have on his hearing.

I will be more than glad to send to anyone that wants it all you have to do is pay for shipping i even have the box it came in.

Thanks,
Eli
