font-family:Arial'>Well, I too was having a barking frenzie every now and then
to the point of driving every other creature in sane. Gus and Leroy feed off
of each other’s bark…one barks the other barks louder and it just
gets out of hand. As much as I didn’t want to go to a bark collar I
did. Mike is working third shift and 13-14 hour days right now and he needs
his sleep. I found a collar that gives gradual pulses. The first is slight,
and gradual the “tickle” gets more severe with each time it is
needed. The collare works on vibrations so if Gus barks once it gets a tickle….then
if he continues on the tickle gets stronger….I watched very careful and
suspect Gus has had one of these before we got him as he barks once….maybe
twice and then just stops…no crying or yowling like it hurt but, he just
seems to understand. I have not put the collar on Leroy as he seems to feed
off of Gus more than actually barking on his own. I don’t put it on all
the time but, if Mike is sleeping and I’m at the barn and the pups can’t
be outside I’ll put it on….or if the folks across the road are
working in their front yard with their JRT I’ll put it on….(you can’t
tell me that the JRT doesn’t know that mine are in a fence as he prances
around in circles and stars at them…like naa naa a boo boo….lookie
where I am) . All I can say it works and as much as I hated doing it….it
does keep things down to a dull tolerable roart.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
