We adopted our boxer mix in November 2017 She barks everyday almost all day but otherwise she is perfect. We’ve tried everything. I’m leery of a shock collar. Need a recommend something to help? Thanks

Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. If you are worried about a shock collar, you can try a citronella collar, which can be found online quite easily. If that does not work, I would recommend using a spray bottle filled with water and spritzing Belle in the face every time she barks. You can also use an empty can filled with coins and toss this near her every time she barks and the noise may deter her from barking. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
