Citronella anti Bark Collar- GPS tracking Collar

X 100 on plain ole water bottle.

Small hand held water bottle with PLAIN WATER in it works the best. I aim for their feet or butt, not their face. Water spray bottle is great for when in a CG to keep them quiet.

I would NEVER use citronella on a dog.
They may be claiming it's safe but spray some in your own eyes and nose and get back to us how it feels.

I've used the citronella collar with varied success. Used one on a dachshund we had years ago --- she learned not to bark when the collar was on.

However, a number of years later, I had a cocker who was a problem barker = he had severe seizures occasionally, and I really think there was brain damage involved.

He learned that if he barked enough, he could empty the cannister on the collar and then he could bark to his heart's delight.

With the vast majority of my dogs, I've had just as much success with a spray bottle filled with water, set to emit a stream of water (not mist)... so you can get them from across the room.

The problem child who learned to empty the citronella collar, would come up to me when I spritzed him, squeeze his eyes shut and bark... as if to say, "go ahead, take your best shot." I had to laugh at him with his face all scrunched up.

Bottom line, with the "normal" dogs, I had better luck with the spray bottles. I kept them sitting all over the house, so one was always within reach. It got to the point I didn't even need the bottle. I'd point my finger at them and make a shh shh noise, and they would shut up.

We occasionally use the citronella collars for our pups and they work great. We only use them when someone new is coming to visit or workmen are around the house. That sort of thing sets them barking and keeps them upset. The collars seem to tell them that we have approved the visitors and they don't need to alert us - haha. We have three small dogs but do not use the collar on one since she has some breathing problems anyway and we don't want to aggrevate those. They really do not like the smell of the citronella.
