Cinder Here ~
I can *speak* frum experience !
I wuz a 'problem barker' after SmokeMutt came along an got dopted by me an Dad. We'd go visit GranMom at her Village an Dad would take us inside to play Therapy Dawg - but wun atta time. Smokey would jest curl up an wait while I wuz inside...
ME? I'd *BARK* like crazie soon as Dad walked off wiff the SmokeMan - raise heck the whole time they wuz gone. Did that two weeks inna row.
The next week we all went to PetsMart wun afternoon...
*I* gotz to try on a lil red collar wiffa phunnie lil *box* on it. Dad paid almost ninety buckz for it. I thunk it wuz neat - till we got back to our Shop and Dad hooked me up...
Then he walked over next door while I wuz tied onna porch. I alluz tell him NOT to leave me like that; so's I start my normal *shout barkin*...
Eeeee-Yipes!
My neat-o lil red collar gimmie a Zap! ebry time I *barked*! I dun sum *yelpin* (got Zapped! fur that, too), and some fancie side-steppin - then figgered out iffin I jest *shut-up* nuffin happened.
Long storrie short - I don't shout-bark NO More when I'z wearin my lil red collar! Dad packs it inna trakter kar glovey-box. Iffin I'z gonna get left alone; he'll try leavin me... Wun bark as he's walkin away an he comes back an straps on my collar. I shutz up real quick.
Wun time we wuz at GranMom's and Smokey an me hadda stay together inna kar fur a while. Dad took my collar off and furgotz ta pun it inna glovey-box. I had that sukker all chomped up when he came back! Chewed the battery door rite off and had a hole buncha toofy marks all ober the lil box thingie... Dad wus *smokin* mad!
He called up the PetSafe Kumpanie an tell'd em what happened to the collar... They laffed an said that happens "a lot". Said gather up what's left an send it in wiffa check for onlee 20 bucks - and they sent a whole new Zapper! box an collar. Dad don't leave the collar layin out any more!
I hardly ever have to wear it - jest on GranMom visits an oh, yeah; last week we wus Host Dawggies atta Fire Station fur the rabies shot clinic...
I alluz get 'cited when all the udder Dawggies an Katz show up - started *whinin* and *yappin* tryin to say hello... Dad got the Zapper! out an showed it to me an I gotz purdy quiet till a big Labbie come'd in an I hollered *Hi*!
Ooopsie! Wore the Zap! Collar the resta the day. White Coat Gurl, Doc Lisa, that wuz shootin the *Ouwie Shotz* wuz amazed how quiet I gotz!
PetSafe made my collar - here's their page:

Oh yeah; Dad sez iffin you get wun at PetsMart - they'll even refund yer munnie iffin ya don't like it or yer Dawg duzint get the message quite rite. Dad thunk that wuz a purdy good guarantee! *I* wish we'd all stayed home that day!
