Hey, where's the barking problem section of the list??? I'm not seeing anything. Do all you live miles away from each other so it's not a problem <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> ??

Anyway, any suggestions for the average homeowner that has a high energy dog(s) in a small back yard and works two jobs? The daytime barking complaints are coming in. Do any of you have experience with some of the newer bark inhibitor collars out now? What about for multipile dogs, but only one is a barker? I would like to give some guidance if some of these collars work well (for times when no one is home).

Yes, they work well. Ed sells the model that I use.

Bark Collar

There are also some nice letters and some remarks from Ed about this collar.

I use the tritronics bark collars.. nice and quiet here...

My first and only experience with a bark collar was about thirty years ago. I had an big yellow mutt with a real junkyard attitude and was always fighting through the fence with the neighbors dobe. I saw this add about this "Great new way to control barking dogs". Bought the collar, put it on tramp, and in two days I had a punch drunk dog. It not only went off when tramp barked, it went off when the neighbor dog barked, when fire trucks went off, when I starded my motorcycle, I think it went off when birds flew over and farted to close to the dog. Naturally I took it off and brought it in the house. Now this next part is going to get me classified as a crazy old story teller, but I sware on that old dogs grave it's true. My wife wanted to know how it worked and she put her thumbs on the contacts and barked into it. Now , to this day she has never been able to explain why she never let go after the first shock. She started howling and jumping, howling and jumping. Picture in your mind, a barefoot kid trying to cross a fourth of July hot blacktop road and you have some idea of what I was watching. I was laughing so hard my head hurt. When the hamster wheel in her head finally got her light lit, she broke loose and fired it at me . I was a lot quicker back then so she missed me and put it right through the (closed) kitchen window. Needless to say, the collar went in the trash and she made me promise to never tell this story so don't tell anyone else.

Dam is that ever funny! Great story OldDog....

If anyone ever tells this story in the St Louis area I'm roadkill <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I asked this same question from Ed. He told me to buy the Tri Tronic bark inhibitor collar and the problem is solved on day one.
