If it works this well, is it really working

So another post about the dogs. As i may have mentioned before we had a visit from Animal control about our dogs barking. The thing i bought to deter barking, not only deters barking, but they no longer want to be outside.

Here's an example of how it used to be BTB (before the barking): the dogs would run outside excited. bark at the squirrels that dared enter our yard. they trotted to the fence. popped up on the fence and looked to make sure no squirrels were there. trotted to the other fence, looked to see if any golfers were around and barked at them to come over and pet them. trotted over to the other fence to see if the neighbors dog was out, if so barked at him to come over and play. chasing each other around, if one didn't want to play they would bark at each other to start fighting and frolicking in the yard. when tired of being outside they'd come to the door and scratch to be let in.

Here's how it us ATB: the dogs slowly amble out the door. sit in front of the door until someone lets them in.

how sad is that?? stupid neighbors.
