[Jamie & Odin]

The only problem I have with barking is done by my yippy little malt. Doesn't stop, ever, leaf could fall off a tree outside and he'd start in.

The problem (other than ringing ear drums) is that he psyches up the rott, and I don't want him psyched up. The rott seems to assume that there's a good reason the malt is throwing a fit, of course, he wouldn't be able to hear it if there was. Getting two dogs to stop barking is much harder than one.

Enter....

...the anti bark collar! Marvel of modern man, savior of little yippy dogs, bastion of a quiet household, protector of hubby's sanity, and keeper of the peace!

The collar I got for the little guy emites a high pitched tone (no shock) when he barks. One day is all it took. After countless serious efforts to teach "quiet" didn't work. He doesn't wear it anymore, as he has learned not to bark up a storm. If he forgets, it goes back on for a day. Of course he was rewarded every time he didn't bark when he wanted to, recieved the collar correction when he did and it worked like a charm:D
