any opinions of this device? i picked it up at petsmart today because my 2 terriers are just so f'ing annoying when anyone comes near, and go berserk when a dog goes by. this is really feeding into the bully's dog aggression.
i have worked with them a lot in the last 2 summers. they have gotten a whole lot better, but they still are quite a problem.
i have to say that it works. they shut right up. they do not like it. there is an automatic one, which i have more doubts about. i think they should be rewarded right away for not barking. but i think that it can really solve an incredibly annoying problem.
it would be great for these dogs to be really good dogs, because they are very sweet kids.

do you think extractive industries are rooting for climate change?

do the oil companies have a drawer full of plans for how climate change is going to benefit them? like drilling in the artic? do the koch brothers have a room full of engineers working on mining the tundra?
is that the real prize in this stupid and dangerous game they are playing?
