Those antibark collars aren't that bad. I wore one myself before putting it on my dogs. lol. It doesn't hurt, it just startles them enough to stop the barking. But I think they're a waste of money. They never did work on Dusty. He'd just stop and sniff his butt wondering where in the heck that shock came from. Then he'd go right back to barking. MY RB Rosco, on the other hand, he wore it for two days and quit barking. I was able to take it off of him just about as soon as I bought it.

Anyways what I've done with Dusty is I hold his mouth shut and firmly and calmly tell him no. He *pretty much* knows now not to bark at nothing.
