Barking Pup ??s

1) a collar on a 11 week old puppy? No way 2) A bark collar on a dog that you want to bark when she is bayed? No way. It is a pup. You put that bark collar on her and it may work but you may also have to cull her cause she wont bark again (and the later is prolly a better chance than the first). Pups are soaking up and learning everything. So if you put a collar on her you are teaching her that barking is wrong and not to bark and She aint gonna kno the difference in a pen and a hunt. When she gets older then yes a collar. she is just a puppy, let her be a puppy. Dont get me wrong shgock collars are great and i got one but I would never strap it to a 11 wk old puppy. she may be silent or she may be open. I dotn think her barking in the pen is a good judge of that. I think it could go either way with that cur/ redtick mix. Im not sure but maybe a mussle would be a good choice for a lil while.. Just a thought. --- JMO

Owe yes a water hose is great for that, I remember my dad using that for barking dogs when I was a kid.
