WTF?!

Bark Collars

How early can you put one on a dog?

We have a very barky puppy (part beagle, so it was to be expected) who is 2.5 months old... Is it too soon to get a collar for her?

Why not just debark them at birth?

Twenty bucks says it's a Puggle.

UGH, I don't understand- if you don't want a dog that barks a lot, don't get a fucking beagle! In fact, if you can't handle a dog barking you probably shouldn't have a dog.

First thing I said when my new neighbors moved in: Oh, shit, they have a Bagel.

And I work from home.

They don't.

The thing bays for four, five hours straight.

lol Bagel ;-) I could go for one right about now. With olive cream cheese.

Oh, baying.

My mom owns a bar and one of her patrons is a guy who really needs to get his life together. (He's not so much a patron as a guy who wanders in occasionally to spout off about things and not order anything.) Anyways, he had a beagle puppy living in the saddle bag of his motorcycle. My mom convinced him to leave it with her so I could take it to the shelter (seriously - 4 month old beagle puppy? People *fight* over such cute dogs! And our shelter screens homes really well.)

I had it in my apartment for *one* night and in that night, I confirmed that I never ever want a beagle. Especially not a baby one.

My ex coworker has four of them.
I remember the headache week everyone at work had when she decided to board the four beagles together in the dog room...

I have one who's been screaming all day... not for any particular reason. HEADACHE. I'll never get another baying breed.....

Oh but wait, the beagle taught the chihuahua how to "Owowowowoooooooo"

Can I get a two for one deal on debarking? *snickersnort* Don't tell my dogs I said that, they'd never talk to me again.

Our duplex neighbors have a beagle. Really, we've gotten used to it. I barely really "hear" him anymore. He bays and it's just background noise at this point, like living next to railroad tracks. I'm still wondering whether that was the dog that the anonymous note we got on our door about our "incessantly barking dogs" was meant for.

I have a baying breed too. Not quite like a beagle, but about 8 times as loud, so there's definately quality overy quantity happening there. We've done a lot of work to ensure that whenever we leave he is in a place and in a situation in which he is both safe and endlessly entertained so he doesn't bay. Creative problem solving, folks. Dog owners' best friend. Your hound can't bay if he's got his snout up a puzzle toy trying to get that last morsel of food out.
