I've about had it with my wife's dog. 25 lb Yorkshire / Bichon mix. This dog barks at EVERY sound it hears. We live in a townhouse and have a 2.5 year old daughter and this is really creating problems. Someone closes a car door, BARK BARK. Someone walks upstairs too loudly next door, BARK BARK. WE come in our front door, BARK BARK BARK, and she doesn't stop when she sees it's us, she keeps going and growling for a couple minutes. It's worse at night.
We also have a chocolate lab who doesn't make a sound unless she's outside playing. We had both dogs boarded with a friend for two months and demon spawn didn't make a peep. She's a trainer and has 4 dogs. We've been trying an e-collar and it isn't doing damn thing. Aside from a bullet to the brain, what else can we try?? What the hell is going on with this dog? Been awake for 22 hours now and was really looking forward to some sleep, instead here I sit watching cartoons thanks to the dog waking up our daughter. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Look into BARK CONTROL COLLARS
They deliver a sharp shock when a dog barks. Be sure to put it on the dog. Putting it on yourself, or daughter, won't work well. |

I've seen dogs react very poorly to the collars. The collars are not supposed to stay on the dog long term or when no one is home. Take a look at ultrasonic bark suppressors. http://www.google.com/search?q=ultrasonic+bark+suppressor&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-Address&ie=&oe=#q=ultrasonic+bark+suppressor&hl=en&tbo=u&rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-Address&source=univ&tbm=shop&sa=X&ei=aBbwUPSfMoiB0QHGnoF4&ved=0CFwQsxg&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&bvm=bv.1357700187,d.dmQ&fp=76602e3aef88d9c3&biw=1280&bih=861
They worked on the two dogs who had problems with the collars. |

Thanks. We have a bark control collar on her now and she's too stupid to figure out bark leads to shock. I like the possibility of the ultrasonic bark suppressors. I'll look more into those.
