The collar works!!!
I was a bit skeptical about the Citronella anti-barking collar when we bought it. If J hadn't said his sister bought 1 and it was effective on her Jack Russell Terrier I would have probably balked at spending the $79.But after a few weeks of having the collar and using it. I must admit the thing does work. It's been quite effective at reducing the number of times HRH barks. AND it reduces the duration of his barking.
The first few days he wore the collar all the time. But since then he's gotten the hint. "If he barks, he gets sprayed in the face". Anymore all we need to say is "HRH Quiet" or "Good boy quiet" and he stops barking. If he does persist, we put the citronella collar on him. That's usually enough to shut him up. If he doesn't shut up, he gets sprayed in the face with Citronella and that puts an end to his barking.
The first time I saw him get sprayed I almost peed laughing at him and his antics.
Bark, spray in the face, shake head vigorously, run to the sliding glass door, bark, spray in the face, shake head vigorously. Slowly edge back to the first window and tentatively look out.
A little while later: Bark, spray in the face, shake head vigorously, run away from window. Slowly edge back to the window and tentatively look out.

Oh I have to see this! I'm glad it's working and you and HC are getting some peace and quiet!
It's a hoot to see HRH with the collar on. He knows what it does and he's pretty quiet now when he has it on.
Every now and again, instinct will get the better of him and Pfftt. He's Lemony fresh scented....
