After literally years of searching, have you ever found something that actually WORKS!

I can’t believe this…after four years of pulling our hair out, trying to find a way to get Dutchess, our Brittney spaniel to STOP FREAKING OUT AND BARKING INSANELY EVERY TIME A DOG OR A PERSON WALKED BY I think we’ve found it!! I even posted this question two years ago….

Well, some of you remember our neighbor’s dogs attacking us recently. Someone suggested Super Soaker water guns to fend them off the next time. They haven’t come back…but you know…Dutchess went crazy barking and screaming because a dog walked by, there was the Super Soaker…and I will be damned if it isn’t working freaking wonders. It’s just a thin stream of water, very little velocity behind it, but it’s done the trick. We only had to “shoot” her twice…and since then, just showing her the “gun” or even yelling “NO!!” has stopped her in her tracks. It works even when she’s out of range. She sees the gun and makes instant tracks to the house. We’ve barely heard a noise from her (except when she wants in or out, or is playing with Dakota) for four days. I want to fall down on my knees and cry!
