Our young excitable and much loved terrier barks all the time when in the garden. She barks at neighbours through the hedge, the wind blowing, people walking past, even at the rain if it is dripping loudly. As we've got elderly neighbours on one side and young children on the other I am paranoid about keeping her quiet but am failing completely. She gets 2 walks a day and lots of fun and games.She is not barking from fear or boredom - she just likes barking.
Has anyone tried those collars that squirt spray when the dog barks? What's the verdict? I don't like the idea of the electric shocky ones but am getting desperate enough to consider. I'm fairly sure a 'sonic bleep' collar would not really ruffle her feathers enough to make any difference at all. Heeeeeelp
