Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | neutered | 6 years and 3 months old
Hi. I have a 6 year old Labrador who constantly barks for no apparent reason. As soon as I let him into the garden he barks constantly to the point my neighbours complained. I’ve tried a spray collar but he just gets use to it. Any advice would be good. Thanks

You may have to try a shocking bark collar, an ultrasonic bark deterrent, or training to get Mylo to stop barking if a citronella collar isn't working well enough. A trainer can help you get Mylo's attention during these episodes and redirect his attention to something else to avoid barking. You may also need to get Mylo more exercise to help him burn off extra energy. He shouldn't be left outside alone as that could undo any training progress you have made. I have heard good things about this bark deterrent:
