My neighbor has a little chiahahua that barks pretty well non stop...well maybe not non stop but for say a good 4 to 7 hours per day...or the whole time their out.
They want to get an antibark collar and Im wondering if any APS members have used one for their yappy pooch? If you did how did it go? Thoughts?
I was thinking the high pitch noise ones would be good.
The only negative I can see is that it goes off every time they bark. I feel a dog needs to vocalise occasionally with a good woof..or yap......which these collars dont allow...unless Im looking at the wrong ones. Enlighten me.
I also suggested a safe zone for the dog...which at the moment is the far back corner of their wardrobe... So a very small kennel with roof, sides, etc should assist the dog. I think its all fear based barking, so a hide should help and second call is the anti bark device. Their dicipline rating is about 2.5 out of 10..so thats where most of the problem lies.
