I only pick on spammers. In your sentence above, it should be
"dog's" (singular) or "dogs'" (plural).

Just in case you're legitmate (and not misdirected), a question:
Why didn't you mention training in your post? Isn't that how
any training collar is best used - application with training?

I'm surprised he didn't say you're dog's Bark Collar's.

He also said: "We have a large selection of barking collars." I wonder if
he also has yapping leashes and whining harnesses?

Have you heard about the Amish Bark Collar?

You can get it made of Hickory Bark, Birch Bark, ...

And you can control it with your Blackberry (or your Strawberry, if they
are in season).

Yes training is very important and should actually be the first point
of call in any remedial behavior training that a dog or any animal may
have. I have had a Swedish Vallhund for the past 16 years and
initially spend a lot of money having him training. This type of dog
is a cattle dog, highly active and very intelligent. (more intelligent
than some people I know actually, but then again many dog are) Some
things worked well and others didn't and that is because they are like
humans and all are individuals. His mother for example had to be
debarked because of her excessive barking and I always wonder if the
barking collars were available then would it have helped her. I
actually think having a dog debarked is more cruel than using a bark
collar on a dog. So to answer your question yes training first and
foremost, then look at other alternatives.

What type of bark collar? Dog or handler activated? E-collar
or citronella? And why do you wonder - haven't you looked
into it?

I
actually think having a dog debarked is more cruel than
using a bark collar on a dog.

I generally share that opinion, but individual circumstances
vary widely, so I dislike bandying the word "cruel".

I wouldn't get a dog debarked for a number of reasons, the
main being that I don't want to own a breed known for a
propensity to bark. For example, I like Shelties, but will
never own one. Also a consideration, I like to avoid any sort
of surgery.

On the other hand, better that a dog be debarked than put
down. If you'd like, I can posit such situations.

But you're the one selling bark collars. As such, you should
be addressing all aspects of various training collars. It
appears from your posting that you don't understand the
products you represent.

================================================== =================

I appreciate the fact that you are willing to respond and actually discuss
this, rather than just using this newsgroup for spam (although listing one
specific site probably qualifies it as such). I am fortunate that my dog
never barked very much, and in fact it took several days of him getting
comfortable with me before he even barked at all. Now, sometimes, I may
think he is barking for no good reason and it becomes annoying, but usually
I find that he has heard something that I did not, or he has gotten into a
situation with his tether where he needs assistance. This morning, a friend
came by early and started doing some work in the yard, as quietly as
possible, and when Muttley heard him, he alerted me with a sort of muffled
"rruff". I assured him it was OK, and he settled down, but when there were
louder noises, he barked again. So I had to let him go out and observe the
work being done to make sure there was no threat.

Perhaps some dogs really do bark for no good reason, but I think usually
there is something that the dog finds alarming, and becomes fearful. If he
does not have a strong bond with his owner, and/or if the owner does not
assure the dog that he is aware of the disturbance and that it is OK, then
the dog may bark for his own sense of protection. If a bark collar or other
deterent is used, it does not address the core issue, and may make the dog
even more fearful and frustrated. So an anti-bark collar should be used
only when all other issues have been dealt with, in which case, possibly,
the barking is self-rewarding and an aversive measure is indicated.
