Re: Anti Bark Collar

["Peggy & Kurt" <catboat3@attbi.com>]

Hi Leigh,
They make an anti bark collar that squirts citronella when the dog barks.
Evidently not harmful but unpleasant enough to stop the barking.  The woman
I know that was using one is a dog trainer who is from the "positive"
training philosophy.  She said it worked great on her 6 mo old puppy, but
would probably have to be used again periodically as a reminder.
