Circumstances have forced me to sell up, (divorce settlement) and so I can keep the dogs with me,and not getting rid of them as more than one person suggested, I have bought a tiny semi-detached house in a relatively built up area, the thing is, one of the dogs is a barker, he barks loud enough to make the floors vibrate and I am fully aware how irritating this is, and I want to be as considerate as possible to the new neighbours, therefore I am pondering on a bark limiter collar so he gets the point, but what I would like to know is, would a conventional e collar with me giving the pulse be preferable to him 'getting it' at the point of activation, i.e. without me being part of the equation, or should it be clear to him it's my correction and that's that? all I know is his barking is a major pain and I would like to knock this problem on the head, he is still a 'pup' at 1 year, but his litter sister and his half brother never reach the fever pitch he does, it is mostly brought on by us or visitors fussing the other dogs, it feels like jealous attention seeking, or dominance, when I know people are coming I put the prong on, make him sit quietly and don't allow anyone to fuss him, and he will sit quietly and wait, that I am working on, what I would like advice about is to make the point clearly, should he self correct, or should I be enforcing the point by me activating the collar so that he associates my displeasure with the action of administering the 'correction? I need to state that this excited barking is non aggresive, but to visitors and the outside world, I can see how it is irritating, non-sensical, and threatening, I work 8 hours a day, while I am at work my daughter is on study leave so I want both of us involved in this.
Thanks
Regards
Tracey

Hi
Yes when we are at home we jump on it straight away, but because when I move they will be kennelled out side when we are out, I really want to start off on the right foot with the neighbours, and of course when he starts barking it sets the rest off and three barking Boerboels equals a lot of racket, if he is too young for a bark collar, can you recommend anything else?
