Barking at a perceived intruder is normal, barking obsessively can be a learned behaviour.
Why are you against collars but ok with a device on a wall that works based on the exact same principal as a bark collar except that it is on a wall where it is actually less effective?

I am against it because sadly Theo has seizures and I do not want anything around his neck. I was really referring to the collars that spray citronella into their faces. Before I purchase any device, I will certainly do my research. I do like the idea of teaching them to go to their "place" when someone comes to the door as I said I don't mind some barking, it is what dogs, its the excessive barking I need help with.
