| Has anyone used this to control barking? I'll probably catch heck for this, but I'm at my wits' end with Rocco's barking. He is perfect in every way, but he is getting downright obsessive and is now even barking at pick up trucks driving by!!! I've tried everything else I can think of. I saw this product and wondered if it's safe and humane and effective: PetSafe Area Bark Control - Electronic Containment & Training Any thoughts?

| I bought that 6 years ago when Baby was a puppy bc I lived in an apartment that didn't allow dogs. Let's just say I had to press the button constantly. Sold it on eBay. Does that answer your question? Lol

| We had similar results. It didn't seem to slow down Ruby's barking a bit . . . .but the constant high frequency being emitted (because of her barking) was punishing Leroy who was being a really good boy.

| ummm... Well another Yorkie mommy helped me with this one.. we're not allowed to have pets in our building but I have tried everything to keep Brandy from barking..she told me take a lemon and squeez the juice into a small spray bottle and every times she bad barks tell her BAD BARK and spray the lemon juice in her mouth.. it sounds bad but it only took two small sprays to stop the barking... and we also keep the empty bottle close to the door so she could see it when we say BAD BARK and she stops and moves away..no collar work just lemon juice and water.. the bitterness she hated but made her breath smell good. Good luck

| I use a water bottle and put it on stream! My yorkies know as soon as I pull it out to stop barking at the cats outside or the knock on the door! LOL Carla |

| Callie dose not bark but I have used the water bottle for other things with just water in it and it works great but I really would worry about anything mixed with the water because puppies and dogs move so fast they could end up getting it in the eye and lemon juice hurts like crazy when it gets in your eye.

| This person wasn't suggesting a shock collar. Lemon is pretty strong how do you know it wouldn't still hurt? Maybe any one on wanting to do this should squirt in there eye first to see if its safe and doesn't burn because I bet it does. The dog can not say if it burns or even do anything about it if it does but suffer.

| I'm not looking for a fight but I totally understand where you're coming from.. But I would think like most furbaby mommies before you do anything you look it up and ask your vet like I did, I actually asked two vets a male and female. The male said let the pup lick the lemon the female said little drops and a lot of water.. I know no one mentioned shock collars but if you read what I did before I did the lemon spay you would be suprise what people do.. and the smaller dogs have the hardest time.. I really don't mind if Brandy barks I love it.. but my neighbors not so much.. When I do move to our house I will let her what she wants.. but it is bad behavior if the pup doesn't listen. I know from one mom to another that before you suggest something you should alway advise someone what you did and explain it and to ask their vet before they try anything.. Trust me I have done every thing to get Brandy well, I would not want to do anything to make she sick or put her at risk of any dangers..
