Q: about ultrasonic bark collar
My little Bichon is a lovely doggy, but his barking is off the chain. He was horribly abused before we rescued him 18 months ago and he has improved immensely except in one area: barking at strangers,...

We bought and small devise, called the Egg, at PetSmart. When you dog barks you just say no and press the button. It makes some sound, which can not be heard by people. This has worked really good for us and doesn't hurt the babies, they just don't like the sound. Good luck to you in whatever option you choose and enjoy your life:)
This sounds promising. DH went and bought a sonic collar today and it seems to be working. Tiki isn't barking at DS now but he seems sad. I'm wondering if the collar may be reacting to ambient sounds and giving him too much stimulus. He usually will sit or dance for a treat, but he doesn't even do that. He hasn't eaten today but he is drinking water. We take the collar off when he goes outside so he can run around some. We'll also take it off during the night. If this continues I will have to ditch this collar. I'm not going to have him miserable, even though it has stopped the excess barking.
I bought an ultrasonic device to stop my dogs from barking for attention from customers while at work. The unit I bought had an audible setting, so I could hear what triggered it and yes, you are correct. A loud laugh, dropped item, loud TV commercial, etc can trigger the device. I would recommend buying a handheld device that you can control the correction. I bought one called the Dog Dazer II for about $25 from Amazon, and my dogs now shut up when they simply see it. No corrections needed.
