As Tonya said, the one Sarah had went off from jumping off the couch. With random shocks like that, many behavior problems can arise.
Yes, Aly...that finding is a very big deal to me. It made me think. Because the noise collar, I can hear when it goes off. But the shock, I don't necessarily know. So it made me wonder "Did Dusty and Rosco's collar do that?"

I'm trying not to worry that much about Sarah. She is only six months old. I remember Teddy going through a barking stage at about this age. He's a year and a half now and he almost never barks. It just might be a phase. And also, maybe since she will have more control of being inside or out at the new house, she'll bark less. Right now, I put her out three times a day for one hour. At lunch, breakfast, and dinner. Those are the times she barks wildly.
