Hi yes we had a recent complaint about our dogs barking when we were out. We already had a anti bark device where the dogs were. We felt quite unsettled about it so I understand how you feel. But we also tried to understand her feelings about it as hard as it was. So I bought 3 bark collars, they beep for the first bark then louder, then on the third bark it beeps and vibrates (make sure it’s quite tight around them) It has stopped them completely 🙂 I sometimes feel a bit mean putting it on them but as much as we love them dogs are stupid haha. It doesn’t hurt them and we feel so much more relaxed. Much love Jeff
