Bark collars

I have a 3 yr old female basset that barks all the time when she is outside. Even if I’m outside with her, she still barks at what I can see is nothing. Of course she can see and smell a whole lot better than me so she must find something interesting to get her attention.

I got a text from my neighbor this morning asking if I can do something about her barking because his daughter’s room is next to my fenced yard. I did say I will keep her in from 9:30 at night to 6 in the morning but there might be times that she needs to go out in the middle of the night. I’m going to keep her on a leash during those times so maybe she won’t be so annoying to them.

My question is how many here have used a bark collar to help quiet them down so much as not to disturb your neighbors? I’m considering getting on from Amazon and if I do, it will not be a zapper one but either a vibration or electronic beeping.

Any feedback will be appreciated, thanks!

Dumbo’s Medical Funds

https://gofund.me/234f6b4a2

Hello, this is Dumbo, my 4-year-old Basset Hound. On the 27th of September, Dumbo jumped off a bed and winced in pain. He was taken to the vet, where they performed blood work and X-rays, but they came back inconclusive. The vet recommended a neurologist, thinking it’s his disks pressing up against his spine. The MRI alone was estimated anywhere around 5k. If he does need the surgery, it would be anywhere around 12-15k. He has completely stopped using his back two legs and is dragging them. He still wags his tail, so I have hopes he’ll be able to pull through this. If you can spare some change to help my little guy, it would mean the world to me. I am reposting this because I noticed my last post with the link in the comments, even though was pinned, wasn’t getting much traction.

Dumbos Medical Expenses

I made a previous post about my little guy jumping off the bed and hurting himself. He cannot use his back legs and will most likely need surgery. I started a crowdfunding page and have gotten lots of help from all you kind folks. I’m asking now if you guys will like all my comments so my comment karma will go up. I’m trying to get his crowdfunding posted on r/Gofundme but have too little karma and it gets removed. I’ve messaged the mods to see if they can make an exception and their answer is “raise you comment karma” so please like my comments to raise my karma to get my little guy the help he needs.
