OK our lab/heeler? cross is now 3 1/2 and has been a barker for as long as we've had her. It toned down, with the use of one of those cheap zap collars but now it just doesn't seem to be doing the job anymore. I'm beginning to see why the previous owners gave her away.
She just won't stop barking.
My wife would like to shoot her some days, and today was a particularly bad day. Barking all day long, so she gets shut up in the garage, which then makes her whine/bark all day. She chews like a lab, but fortunately, turning scrap wood into mulch seems to be the worst of it. She has the other 'endearing' mannerisms of a lab, but those we could live with if she just stopped barking all the time. She's fine when in the house, but a real pain when kept out, such as while my wife is teaching piano.
Lots of collars out there. Any experiences/suggestions? We don't want to have to give up on her, but it may be necessary to retain household sanity, keep peace with the neighbors, etc. I've had a number of dogs over the yrs, but have never had any real issues with any of them. This one seems to be the payback for all those easy dogs.
