[QUOTE="spazzwarr, post: 2408933, member: 11361"] We got an electric collar for our Bassett Hound. He would bark for 4 hours straight when we would leave. I bought one at Wal-Mart for $30. It works great. It starts out with a "mild" shock at first and escalates in intensity if the dog continues to bark. He has learned to shut his bark down immediately when we put it on. There are a couple of issues that concern me. First, the mfr. says to not leave it on for long periods, and second, they caution you not put it on when its raining or it is going to rain later in the day. I guess the same applies for snow. This makes it fairly inconvenient if your going to be away for long periods. The collar was the most effective method I found in researching the issue. There are some that emit a very high shrill whistle, however, I saw a lot of comments that dogs would just push through the irritation and continue on. [/QUOTE]
