Ok so here’s the situation. I have 3 dogs and 1 cat. 1 of my dogs (little chihuahua), barks for everything! I have tried everything from the spray collar, to the ultrasonic/vibrating collars, training with positive reinforcemnt, to putting her on medication! I have always been completley against using a shock collar but it has gotten to the point where I have no choice. I am having a baby soon and I know that the first few months will be stressful trying to get her under control. I refuse to find her a knew home. I love my animals and I am absolutley commited to them. They are ALSO my children and I would do anything for them. I dont want to hear any negative comments please, I would just like to know what the safest collar would be to use for her. She is 7lbs. I also do not intend to use this long term, its only for the first couple months until she gets the idea. Again, PLEASE DO NOT TELL ME HOW THIS IS CRUEL, I KNOW IT IS AND I HAVE NO CHOICE. I just need a simple answer. Thank you so much.
i walk almost every evening when my husband arrives home from work. i have to wait for this time so he can watch the 3 little kids while i walk. we have no dogs of our own just cats. i do like dogs and i am not afraid of them unless they are being aggressive. we live in a very populated shore area of NJ. there are leash laws here but people dont care. 2 times this week i have had a large dog run up to me barking. yesterday it was a pit bull i think and it was big. it came running from the owners front porch and ran up to me while i was walking in the road. i tried my best to ignore it and listen to my music and not run. it actually snapped at my hand but i pulled away. then for whatever reason it went home. i had my ipod on so maybe the owners saw it. i dont know. i was very scared and my heart was racing. i know this is no fault of the dogs but of the stupid owners! i never walk the same route and i always stay in the road. there are no sidewalks and i never walk on peoples lawns or properties because i know that could make an unseen animal feel threatened and i find it rude to walk on someone elses lawn. i can not carry a gun or knife with me its illegal. also a walking stick or umbrella is way to big because i walk fast. i have no pockets. usually my small ipod is clipped to my shirt and i have my phone in one hand and a bottle of poland spring water in the other. i need something small and effective to ward off these dogs. are any of these effective or do you personally know something that is??
can air horn? ultrasonic dog chaser?
pepper spray?
citronella spray?
i also want something effective that will not cause the dog to be more aggressive. i want to avoid being attacked!
thanks. serious answers only please
I have two dogs in the house, one does not bark at all and one barks all the time! We live in a small place and want to know if anyone has tried the bark off and could tell me if the distance of the ultrasonic wave thing that keeps the dogs from barking is adjustable or not because we wouldn’t want to effect the other dog with this for no reason if you know what I mean. Please let me know any feedback is helpful and appriciated. Thank you!
I am looking for a good no bark collar (from any company in any brand you know of) for my little mini dachshund/chihuahua mix who weighs about 5 to 6 pounds full grown (very important is his size).
What would you suggest?
We are trying to stick to either spray, vibration, and/or shock (or any combination of those) and not sound because our other dog has very sensitive ears and the ultrasonic stuff hurts her ears.
Also whatever collar we get needs to be automatic and not be one of the ones where you have to use a remote with it and also be fairly light since he is a rather small dog.
We have a found a few different ones we are interested in online but all seem to be split 50/50 on whether they are good or not so we are unsure which would be best to buy so we wanted to get regular peoples suggestions on it first and see what people say.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you and have a nice day.
To all of those who added their own opinions on my question rather than actual answers…My dog is trained, and for the most part very well trained not to ever bark. The only thing he has a problem with barking at is when someone is at the door or someone shuts their car door outside. Normally this would not be and issue except for it is hurting our other small dog when he does bark due to the condition with her ears and hearing. Any loud noises hurt her, including him barking even for a small bit. The vet was even the one who told us we need to get to not bark as much as possible (preferably never) for the sake of the other dog and suggested we look into the collars. We even have to watch our tv very low and be as quiet as possible for her.
So please, if you’re not going to give a real answer or real suggestions and are only going to write comments such as "why not train your dog" please don’t even waste my time posting on here.
both the neighbor’s next to my house have dogs, and they can’t control the damn dogs to stop making noise, they absolutely don’t care, im going crazy, and so does my GF who lives with me, she often fights me because of it, a little noise happens and one dog begin bark, and all dogs begin bark, i even thought about poisoning the dogs but there are too many of them, five in total
i saw a add about ultrasonic bark control, its suppose to make a annoying noise that can only be heard by the dog every time the dog bark and it keeps them quiet

My son and Daughter-In-Law bought a bark deterrent for Willy. You hang it up (isn’t it cute??) turn it on and it is supposed to make a high pitch sound that dogs hate and people can’t hear. In the video, when I’m close to the hole in the birdhouse, my camera picks up the sound I think.
I’m going to start keeping a little video log of my neighbor’s dog. She is a nice person, but I don’t think she is aware the torment she puts her dog through when she goes to work and leaves it outdoors and alone for 10+ hours a day. I’m afraid the dog will be poorly socialized and maladjusted. Not to mention badly behaved ie constant nuisance barking. None of it is the dog’s fault…this video is after I put up one of the ultrasonic barking dog stoppers…supposed to make dogs up to 50 feet away not want to bark.
