Is there a method or a product that actually WORKS to get a dog to stop barking?

Our dogs are 5 & 8 years old now. At our old house they stayed in the garage at night & the back yard during the day. They did bark a bit, but I was at home all the time so I could keep them down…

Now, we just bought a house & there is no garage & the fence needs repairs. So, they’re outside in a decent size pen 24/7. One dog barks way more than the other so we got him one of those ZAP collars, it doesn’t work.

I got a letter from my city yesterday that my dog barking is creating a disturbance in the neighbourhood… We need to fix this fast, or find a new home for the dogs – we don’t want to give them up!!

Anything work for you? I can’t keep wasting $100 to keep trying different products… Thanks =)

If you are using an electric collar that must be manually activated, you cannot make accurate corrections, and the dogs will not learn to stop barking.

If you have a collar that activates when the dog barks, the dog still needs to learn what the correction means, it may take a while. A bark collar will work only if used properly. It must be VERY snug, high on the dogs neck, as close to the jaw as possible without strangling the dog.

You should experiment with the correction level to make sure that the correction is high enough to discourage the dog from barking.

I use a tri-tronics model, and it is very effective. My dogs know when it is on, and they do not bark.

There are other alternatives:

1) There are devices that you can put up that emits an ultrasonic sound (that only dogs can hear) when the dogs bark. The sound is supposed to distract them and change the behavior. Check out Bill Boatman’s in Ohio.

2) You could put them in crates in your basement during the day while your are gone. They may still bark, but they won’t be as easily heard, and eventually they will calm down in their crates, and feel more secure. Part of their barking is insecurity, plus, it is also nice to have your pets in the house.

Best of luck. I hope you find an effective method so that you can keep your dogs.
