Biscy, the amazing Dorkie Poo mutt, has stopped barking. No yapping, no middle of the night yelps, no ferocious spazzing whenever a neighbor walks by. For this, I thank the magic citronella bark collar.
Per my vet’s recommendation, I strapped the collar on the Bisc yesterday. I leave it on him only for a few hours–at the times he’s most likely to be barky (evening, mostly). The results are fricking incredible. When he barks, the collar sprays a tiny bit of citronella toward his snout. He stops barking immediately. Just now a guy walked by the house with his dog. Biscy watched him from the front screen door, growled a bit, then meandered over to me from some positive reinforcement (i.e., biscuits).
At first I was concerned that he was a bit depressed by not barking, particularly because the neighbors’ dogs, three of whom are within about 20 feet of us, are still making a regular ruckus. But damn, it’s nice not to jump three feet when our small dog suddenly erupts into full-throated hound dog mode in the house.
Worth every penny!
