RC: Re: Possums

[Bette Lamore <woa@stormnet.com>]

Hi there
How did we ever get from possums to Pyrenees (and I've had both (and
still have the Pyr))? Has anyone ever figured out how to stop them from
barking all night. I believe that there is a vigilante committee forming
amongst my neighbors now and either they will get Charlie or my husband
will. We've tried the "Be kind" bark collar---5 barks then a mild shock
then a little more..... All it has done is forced her to get out 5 big
loud ones and then little high pitched murfs for the next 10 until she
figures that she can start over. Honestly, they are too smart for their
own good sometimes. Anyone have any luck with the barking? I know this
is a little off the endurance riding subject matter (but then what
hasn't been lately) and it could save my marriage.
