Our younger dog is a two-and-a half year old poodle/sheltie cross. She is very loveable and we are crazy about her, but she barks excessively, to the point at which we think twice before inviting people to our home. She starts barking wildly as soon as she becomes aware that someone is approaching the front door, and continues until she either recognizes the person or is removed from the scene. When service people come in, her barking makes it difficult for us to communicate with them, and causes us acute embarrassment. I'm considering investing in a citronella collar for her to curb her barking, and would like to hear from people who have tried them, either successfully or unsuccessfully.
