[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 215260, member: 1991"] There's an anti-bark collar I've seen advertised in those brochures that turn up uninvited in letter boxes - the collar is sound-activated and loaded with citronella oil. When the dog barks the collar emits a small puff of citronella (which apparently dogs don't like). I'm told it works very well. We were going to get one for the dog next door but because it isn't OUR dog, we were going to put the collar right where the dog likes to stand when it barks at us for making the slightest sound. It always stands in the same place on their side of the fence, and it's an open slat fence, the previous owners used to feed biscuits to the dog through the gaps in the fence. We figured, we put the anti-bark collar on OUR side of the fence but right on the open space, then when the dog shoves its snout right into the gap to snarl and bark at us, it would get the citronella puff in its face. If the dog wanted to go bark somewhere else in its backyard we wouldn't mind, and the collar wouldn't matter then. Then the owner moved and we no longer have the dog problem. I was almost sorry. It couldn't have happened to a more deserving dog. Marg [/QUOTE]
