I’ve been using one of those citronella collars to stop the “incessant” barking that’s got one of our new neighbors whining his head off (have owned our home here for 20 years, have dozens of neighbors nearby and NONE has ever complained — until this new renter came along).

When our girl barks, the collar releases a puff of citrus spray out in front of her face... She sees it, hears it, smells it, probably tastes it and feels it tickle the whiskers on her chin. Stops her cold in her tracks.

We’ve thought about going with the adjustable shock collars (which can be adjusted to give anything from a barely perceptible tingle to quite a sharp shock), but for now the citrus collar is working perfectly and seems the more humane option.

I really hate libs; they think they are the only ones who are qualified to feel compassion for my dog. I’d like to show them the compassion my steel-toed boots could heap upon their tiny, shriveled up testicles.

I caught my Cocker Spaniel up and about to go over our wall. Estimates were over $2500 to make the wall taller. I got a shock collar for $139 and put up contractor flags as a border for that half of the yard. One shock and a few buzzes and problem solved. Now she won't go anywhere near that wall.
I had previously, several years back, lost a Beagle that went over that same wall, into traffic.
Problem solved and saves the new puppies life. I think thats pretty humanitarian.
