Just joined this site and saw you're dilema about barking.
I have a Sheltie and Boerboels who barked at any thing and everything. we live in the country with lots of squirrels and deer. Problem with citronella collars is they get used to the scent. My Boerboel was also a barker and the collar worked for a week and then nothing. I tried EVERTHING! Spent Hundreds and finally the only collar that works are the Yapper stopper from Cabellas. There is one for dogs with long hair because it has longer prongs. I know the thought of them getting "shocked" sounds barberic but how many of us have invisible fencing and have had to train our dogs to that and they had that initial "shock". Cabellas guarantees their collars. I tell you I was at whits end with my barkers and cant tell you what blessed quiet it is. I even spent the extra to have them send it two day express. Good luck
