collar to stop dog barking
 

Has anyone had any success with any of these. I have a Doberman and a miniature pinscher and the min pin has developed a barking problem. I wouldn't care too much, but we have two kids, 18 months and 1 month old who are light sleepers.

If you had any success do you remeber the collar type?

Thanks, MrX

Don't use these things. Train him right so that he's not a barker to begin with.

he is an 8 yr old dog that never had a problem til we had kids 18 months ago and no traditional methods work now. I don't want to get rid of him, but my kids and wife need quiet sometimes and they don't get it now.

this provides a nice segway to my follow-up question, can you use these on babies to make them stop crying?

Some of them shock the dog. If you want to get one that shocks the dog, just give the dog away instead.

I used one, with marginal success. It didn't hurt him either. I know this because I tested it on myself first. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Eh, lots depends on breed. I had one that sent out a high-pitched noise only heard by dogs for my Pomeranian, but it didn;t seem to work out so well.
