Anyone use bark collars on their dogs??

Citronella?
Shock?

Any luck/experiences welcome.

My pit/lab mix is staying at a friends house, but she is a talker. When she is outside, she talks....a lot.
If she can't stay at my friends...she will probably end up at the pound, which I am not okay with and am trying to avoid!

got to be a reason why the dog is barking so start there before you waist your money.

One would think....

She has always been an inside dog. Now she is allowed to be in or out (doggy door) during the day, so she is outside.
She barks at the neighbors dogs....did it at my old place too when the dog was outside.
One of my friends neighbors is complaining...his young child gets woke up by the barking. I can respect that.
Trying to figure out a way to lock Zia up in a few rooms in the house for the 8 hours during the day no one is home.

I've used them. They work. You can adjust them too.

Some breeds are just barkers. Dachshunds fall into that category

And, no one likes a nuisance barker. Especially neighbors

So, I say give it a shot. You need to use it while training. Not just throw it on the dog and see what happens or for prolonged use.

However, some dogs just won't get it and continue to bark uncontrollably.

I'd hate for you to have to take her to the pound. If that seems as though it's your only solution... please at least run an ad first. Asking at least $25 so that people looking for animals to sell for animal testing don't get a hold of her.

I hope it works out for you.

She gets out of the crate.

And it wouldn't matter anyways...she can't be here.

It is funny...I don't hate her. Just sick of the bullshit.

Not making much coin....enough to slowly get caught up. Still plenty behind.
One more payment on each car though....

That's a shame. She's just enjoying her outside environment like any dog who's not used to it would.

I'm so sorry that you are put in this position.

Life just hasn't been fair to you lately

I hope you can find a solution that works out.

Life hasn't been too bad....just lost a lot in the last 3-4 months.
Trying to hang on to a few things....like Zia and the T/A.

If I had the room, I sure would!

She'd live like a queen.

Damn dogs are so freaking spoiled around here

Well, separation or divorce is never a walk in the park. But, it's usually the aftermath that is the hardest. Trying to figure out who gets what and what goes where...

Been there.
