I wanted to stop my dog from barking, but I didn't want to make my dog any more uncomfortable than necessary
I knew that I had to get a stop barking collar, but I wasn't sure of what sort to get. At the same time, I didn't want to use a weak or ineffective dog training collar that wouldn't work very quickly. Nonetheless, I decided to try out citronella before I used an electric shock collar. I figured that citronella would be a more humane way to stop a dog from barking than the shock collar, and would still probably work. Always is good to try it new things.

I know that for some dogs citronella works well, but it wasn't adequate to stop my dog from barking

The effect was pretty sudden and pretty funny. My dog would bark a few times, then get a dose of citronella right in the nose. She would get this confused look on her face and wander around, snorting for a few minutes. It definitely cut down the noise, but it didn't seem to be enough. I had an unusually stubborn dog, and she was willing to put up with frequent blasts of citronella and still keep making a racket. Granted, she barked much less because the citronella smell would confuse her, but she was still making more sound than the neighbours would tolerate.

That's way i decided that I needed an electric shock collar to stop my dog from barking. I decided that the adjustable one would be very good . I  wanted to use the smallest possible shock to stop my dog from barking and avoid having to subject her to higher powered, more painful jolts. She absolutely hated it, but it did the trick. She would bark once, yelp, and then shut up i was so happy. Soon, she just wouldn't bark anymore. After only a week or two, I was able to completely remove the collar and never use it again. 

I had managed to successfully stop my dog from barking for good by using the shock collar
