I'm going to move Thunder to his run outside in a week or two. The only expierience I've had with no bark collars was 30+ years ago. It was a disaster! The collar would go off if my other dogs barked, my motorcycle started up, a fire truck went down the street. Hell, I think it went off if a bird flew over and farted. I wound up with a punch drunk dog with a bad attitude. The only time he'll have it on is in the kennel run. My terriers will still be running in the yard and he raises hell when he can't run with them. Tell me they aren't as sensative anymore.

They are different.
I have two of the older Tri-Tronics collars that I bought from Ed. They work very well on all but one dog, Chili, and she is an EXTREME knucklehead. I had to order the yellow and green prongs for her. Once we got to the yellow, she was a lot more quiet. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I am saving the green for a rainy day. lol... She CAN still whine, but she only does it occasionally, and if she wines too loud it is usually followed by a yip! then silence...
All of the other dogs can use it at a much lower level. I like having them for traveling and keeping them from barking their fool heads off at trials and what not.

Today's bark collars work off the vibration from the barking. They aren't set off by other dog's barking or other noises. Everything else has come a long way in 30 years, so have bark collars. Stick with either Dogtra or TriTronics and you'll be happy.

Thanks everyone! Nancy, Thunder has his yip, yip, yip down pretty good already. Hope I'm not in trouble before I start.
Deanna, Thunder is such a sweet boy <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I don't think I'll need the yellow and green ones.
Lou, that's what I need to hear. I still duck on reflex when I think about my wife holding her thumbs on the old one and barking into it just to see how it worked. When I started laughing, I had to duck quick, in order to keep from catching it in my head.  <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Dogtra and TriTronics were the two I was looking at.

My old Keeshond had apparently worn a barking collar at one time. He had learned bark..Pause..bark..pause. It was almost more annoying than continuous barking.

We used the bark collars with success on all but one dobie and on terv (both bitches, and very dominant ones at that...hmmm...).
The terv is a tough little poot, and she will take the shock because it gives her that space for "free" barking after it. She's the one that also has the terrible "aliens landing in the garden!! Red alert!!" thing going.
The dobie bitch learned not to bark, but she also learned to make this sound that doesn't set off the collar(s) -- several were tried. It's sort of like a circular saw going through sheet metal. The most gawd awful sound, and not quiet. I wish I'd never given her the chance to learn it. Ugh.
The other dogs learned quickly and well. So did the african grey parrot, who will "bark bark bark YIPE", followed by "Gotcha!".

Just be careful of teaching him it's bad to bark... I'm sure you've thought of that too.
How's he doing with the little dogs. Ate any yet?

Lynn, my JRT has him completely buffaloed. I only will use the collar during the day. At night, in my "hood" he can bark all night if he wants. He has a fantastic alert right now. He LOVES to make noise. :rolleyes: <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Tyler is Tyler I guess.
Thunder will pass him up in another week probably.
I think that he may be learning impared.
Joe helped me work on some run aways tonight. We're going to have to plan better.
He did ok, but at home he's just to distracted by his buddies, and the rabbits
