Shock collar
I think the citronella spraying ones are better for barking. It has the dual effect of convincing the other dog to leave the barker alone. I have seen the shock collars work really well for increased pleasure during anal intercourse. Ho, you should try the K.Y.-misting cock rings. Every time you fart it sprays a light mist of lubricant on your anus and Ray's shaft. You'll love it!

Wes -
I bought one for my dog Henry about a year ago, cause every time I'd take him to a crag, he'd bark and bark the whole time I was on the rock. That, and if we have company over at the house who don't like dogs, he freaks out in his cage and makes quite a rackett (while our other dog sits there quietly).
I think its helped with him. Don't get me wrong, he hates it, and will fight sometimes when you try to put it on him, but he shuts right up now. It actually only has shocked him once or twice, and then he got the idea and doesn't bark with it on, so he doesn't get shocked.
I think it also depends on how smart your dog is. Unfortuanetly Henry has border collie in him, so he will bark like crazy, until you show it to him, and then he'll shut up. (Actually, I went out climbing with him last week, and showed him that I was putting it in my pack, and he was quiet the whole time - or at least relatively quiet).
But if your dog is dumb, it can be bad. My cousin's dog is a dumb little cockapoo or something, and she barked like crazy. So they put one on her, and then she thought that the couch, or the door, or the table, or the dog food bowl (whatever she was near when she was shocked) was what was doing it to her. So she ended up cowering in the corner, still barking the whole time, and never was bright enough to make the connection that it was the collar doing it.
So with her, it was a bad thing.
As far as the citronella collars, I've had several trainers tell me flat out that they don't work. The electric one I bought was like $75 - which was a little painful.
The shock it delivers is actually very mild though (I have tried it out on myself). It makes you jump a little, but its nothing serious. The one I got has 3 settings though, so maybe setting #3 is bad...Henry currently runs at #2 setting.
PM if you are planning on climbing sometime and want to try it out on your dog to see how he reacts.

Wes, I have used one on my dog and it does work well. I agree that you should get one that is adjustable and that has a tone. I have found the tone works fine without even needing to shock. The adjustable shock is good. I have mine on 5 out of 10 and that is just enough. It should not cause a fear or pain reaction. My friend actually shocked himself in the neck (yeah he's a little crazy) at the level I have shocked my dog at and he said it didn't hurt at all. I got mine at PetSmart for $100.

Maybe I can get one to teach Logan not to be a complete nutjob? You think? Actually, I tried the shock collar long ago and he just laughed at it. (At least that is what it looked like - I know he is a dog) Maybe I should start threatening to take away his privileges, like for example, one that other people think is great: beer. He might start behaving.
