Has anyone successfully stopped unnecessary barking? Citronella collar? Shock collar? Ideas?
I have a crazy St. Bernard with anxiety/fear aggression issues. I used a remote shock collar a couple of years ago to control the barking. I used it for 2-3 months. It helped quite a bit and he is MUCH better than he used to be. I stopped using the collar because of his issues, I didn't want to make the fear aggression worse. He still barks anytime he sees anyone outside ( as far as he can see) or whenever hears any strange noise. I don't want him to never bark, but a neighbor complained and I don't want him to be the neighborhood nuisance either. He's always in the house except for a potty break or if I'm outside with him.
