davis8008 65 Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 looks like a good excuse to tell the mrs you need another dog to keep her company 1 Quote Link to post
Cannyboy 34 Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Vibrating collar from pets 4 home.. Completly harmless just makes buzzing sound and vibrates when dog barks.. Worked fine for my lurcher Quote Link to post
will.f11 24 Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 eBay mate 20 quid will buy you an electric collar the only difference with the prices are that the expensive ones have a really long range, I have used them on all of mine stops barking and whining stops dogs from running on and self hunting and young dogs chase and miss and look to run on for a run round the field works a treat as they don't blame you and they come to you for reassurance vibration on it too you only have to shock a few times then just vibrate.. Handy things a few people have said that the old boys never used them but it must be so much quicker and easier! 1 Quote Link to post
Mickey Finn 3,014 Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Try more exercise, and training. Tired dogs are easier to keep the jumpy anxious ones. Or you could just get a anti-bark collar. Good luck! 1 Quote Link to post
