He won't shut up. If I'm watching tv every time the commercials come on I have to find the tv control so I can mute it so he'll stop barking, and to be honest I'm sick of it. Are there any ways to get him to stop barking unless he needs to? Do those bark cholers with the spray work? I need help its driving me crazy.
Thank You,
Whitney

I had the same problem with Kendra. Many of my friends have said those collars are a waste of money. Try positive reinforcement. Does he calm down if you tell him sshhh!? If he does, make sure you tell him good boy and reward him if he listens to you. Give him treats every time then slowly stop. If that does not work, leave the room and close the door every time he barks. When he stops, go back to him. Repeat this as many times as it takes. Finally, if that does not work, try squirting him with a small squirt gun every time he barks. It is always best to leave punishment as the last option. Good luck!
