My dog used to keep me up all night.我的狗,用来维持我了一整夜. Initially, I had though that it would be a good idea to get a dog which was active enough to make a good watchdog, making sure that any intruders were alerted to the fact that this was not the place that they should be breaking into.起初,我虽然认为这是一个好主意,得到一只狗,这是积极的,足够让良好的看门狗,确保任何入侵者都忐忑不安的是,这是不适合,他们应破门. But my yippy little beagle, unfortunately, did the job just a little tiny bit too well.但我yippylittlebeagle,不幸的是,没有工作,只是一个小点点深有体会. He barks not only at mail men, visitors, kids walking by down the street, and cars which drive by, but at squirrels, butterflies, and apparently at the wind going through the grass.树皮中,他不仅在邮件的男性访客,孩子步行到下街,以及汽车驾驶,但在小松鼠,蝴蝶,似乎在风经过草. Anything that makes the slightest bit of movement at all will attract his attention and cause him to bark and bark.任何使丝毫运动都吸引他的注意,并造成他树皮树皮. I tried locking him out for the night, but that only made the matter worse.我试图锁定他出去了一夜,但这只能使事情更糟. Now he would not only disturb me, but also all of the neighbors as well with his constant and insistent noises.现在,他不仅会干扰我,而且所有的邻居,也与他始终如一地坚持杂音.

I had been against anti bark collars for awhile, but eventually I decided that enough was enough.我一直反对反树皮衣领一阵,但我最终决定,够是够. I tried looking for one in a nearby department store.我试图寻找一个在附近的百货公司. The thing about anti bark collars that bothered me most was that they were so inhumane.干了约杀伤树皮衣领,吸到我讶异的是,他们是如此的不人道. If you do not like dog habits, be they panting, drooling, barking, or sniffing at your bottom, I reasoned, you should not get a dog.如果你不喜欢狗的习惯,可他们喘气,流涎,汪汪,或嗅闻你底,我理智你不应该得到一只狗. Getting an anti bark collar which would shock him every single time he barked just seemed like a cruel fix for your own oversight in getting an animal which you were not prepared to adequately take care of in the first place.getting反树皮衣领将冲击他的每一次,他barked就好像是一个残酷fix你自己的疏忽而获得一种动物你是不是准备充分的照顾,在首位. But still, the temptation of anti bark collars was getting pretty compelling after, one single night, he awoke me no less than six times, and almost got the cops called. 但是,这一诱惑力抗树皮衣领越来越漂亮compelling后,一夜间,他醒来,我不小于6倍,而且几乎got捉调用.

I did some research on anti bark collars and found out that they do not all just use electricity.我做了一些研究反树皮衣领,发觉他们并不全都是用电量. There are anti bark collars that, instead of using an electric shock, emit a high pitched noise which bothers a dog's sensitive hearing, and stops it from barking by the unpleasant sensation.有抗树皮衣领,而非利用触电放出一个高pitched杂音,不论狗的灵敏听觉,而站,从门口的不愉快的感觉. Unfortunately, these forms of anti bark collars also seemed pretty cruel, and I felt like I just had to find another solution to the problem.不幸的是,这些形式杀伤树皮衣领也似乎很残酷,而我觉得自己好像刚刚找到另一个解决问题的办法. I discovered citronella anti barking collars, which seemed just perfect.我发现香茅防汪汪衣领,这似乎是非常理想的. Rather than shocking a dog or hurting its ears, these anti bark collars just emit a burst of citronella, which is overwhelmingly powerful and strange for a dog.而非震撼狗或伤害的耳垂,这些反树皮衣领刚刚喷出一股香茅,这是压倒强大而奇怪的狗. It confuses him, and makes him temporarily stop his barking它混淆了他,使他暂时停止他的汪汪
