Was talking to a lady who adopted one of our dogs a few years ago. They were having a problem with him barking at the delivery men (they took him along to their business daily). They got a citronella collar. He learned to bark and empty the cannister, as my dog did.
Here's the twist. Her husband started just refilling it with compressed air from a can -- so upon barking the dog got a burst of air in the face (no citronella). She said he is to the point now, that all they have to do is put the collar on him, and he will not bark.
I had tried the citronella collar at one time, but had mixed feelings about it - due to reasons previously stated on this thread. I never thought of just putting compressed air in the chamber. If I ever had the need again, I would probably try this.
Unscented refill for citronella collars
