Now, not only do I have to hear barking,
but beeping at the same time.

She's just decided to tune the noise out.
First ~
Take it back to PetsMart - they'll give you a
FULL Refund during the first 30 days!

Second -
Consider trying one of their Anti-Bark *SHOCK* Collars.

PetSafe Anti-Bark Collar - Sold by PetsMart

Before anyone gets too UppySet - I've "admitted" to using this on
Miz Cinder back when we were visiting my Mom at her
Retirement Village - and good ole Cinder just did NOT "get" the
Be QUIET! message when left alone at the car -
Under a Shady Grove of Pine Trees, WITH water, treats & toys,
and a 30 foot rope to get IN or OUT of the car with (HER choice) ...

All said & done - she's probably never received more than a Dozen
ZAPs! from the thing -
She DID catch on purdy QUICK that ya just Don't *BARK*
when Dad straps that lil box round yur neck!

She "caught on" Sooo quick - that she even tried to *Eliminate*
the Collar on the third or fourth Sunday we used it...
I had a Brane F@rt when I left Cinder & Smokey at
the car while I took Mom to Vespers - I took the Collar *OFF* and
tossed it on the seat...
Came back an hour later to find
One *Severly CHEWED* and no-longer-functioning Bark Collar!
Called up Mr. PetSafe - they *laughed* and said send the
"big pieces" back - for about $15 they Replaced the whole unit & collar -
they said mine wasn't the First One to suffer that fate!

And (don't tell Cinder) - but she wore the Collar occasionally for almost
a whole year with a totally *dead* battery!

From what I've been told, and based upon Cinder's "Learning Curve" -
it only takes a few ZAPs! from the Collar to really
*TEACH* the dog not to bark when they're wearing it.
