>Baretta 92F with 250 grain hollow points. Actually, that sums it up quite nice as the 'only' true way to stop a barking dog (however, the dog's owner may get a bit peeved ;-) But a more humane approach may work as well. I used to live next door to a guy that had a Lab that had a chronic barking problem. Short of using the 'Baretta' approach, I came up with a sweet solution that worked. I took a high frequency tweeter and built a oscillator/amp for it that would sweep between 18Khz to 25Khz at 120db and aimed it at the guys back yard with a remote on-off switch. The dog would start barking and I would hit the switch then watch with glee as the mutt would roll around in the grass and rub his butt on the concrete. Found out it was good for cats as well. One problem though, my wife said she could hear it and it was like someone running thier finger nails down a black board to her, so she made me quit using it :-( But it was fun while it lasted..... -=-= Wes =-=-
