Anti-bark collars
SpokaneSlayer:
That is exactly what I was referring to. Thanks!

I have both shock collars and anti bark collars. I advocate using them. My dog doesnt bark until I put him in the kennel when I am off to work. Since I started the anti bark collar I have not had one complaint from the neighbors about his barking. Get the type that has adjustable voltage. Don't go cheap. You don't have to have the voltage very high to be effective. My dog loves it when I put on his shock collar as he knows we are going into the outdoors. It was the best investment I ever made with respect to my dog. Some people say it's inhumane and I suppose so if used incorrectly. But I can't afford to have my dog go chasing after a bear or deer and come back wounded on not come back at all. So buy the anti bark collar you will be happy you did. :twocents:

I have a no-bark collar and it works great. I don't have it on the dog all the time but it's nice when you want some quiet or when company is coming over. Also, if you want to leave your dog at a friend or family members house and the dog barks constantly, it will stop that. Like the others said, they will test it once or twice and then they will not bark at all after that. Mine knows how much wimper she can get away with and will still make sounds but not barks.
I also have the regular hunting/shock collar with silent beeps. I use the silent beeps for most everything. I rarely have to ever shock. Maybe once a year when she gets testy and tries to be slow at the commands or ignores me. Dogs have a high pain threshold. My dog practically ripper her ear off and kept hunting for birds. If I ripped my ear off I'd go cry to mommy. So testing it on yourself means little. That being said, they do hurt and are fun to play with if you have buddies that aren't real smart. Usually, alcohol is involved. My dog does not like a 2 out of 5... Keep in mind if they are wet from swimming, the electricity conducts better and lower the setting to a 1 or .5 shock.

I bought a no-bark collar at walmart for like $37.00 it worked great, only takes them a few times and they figure it out
