Re: [PyrNet-L] Barking

    Not to start the controversy on the issue again; but from what I've read 
here, and from talking to a friend of mine at work; I'm told these 
anti-barking shock collars work.   I had purchased a similar collar at 
Walmart that only emits a high pitched sound whenever the dog barks for more 
than 3  seconds.  We have a small mixed shetland, and a pyr, my problem at 
the time was with the shetland so I tried this on her.  At first it did have 
an effect although it never totally stopped the barking, but after about 2  
weeks she just became used to it, and it had no effect. I had my first 
complaint from a neighbor last week, I've done some research and I'm 
seriously considering trying the shock collar myself.   If the barking 
becomes a problem with your neighbors, you may want to consider this as well. 
I simply consider this a personal decision, not a moral one.
