He was labeled an Australian Cattle Dog mix...However, we are pretty sure he has some Pit in him, due to his coloring and his body frame. Not being too familiar with personality traits of pits...I would say he leans more toward cattle dog. He is a herder. We adopted him when he was about 3 years old, from the story we heard some neighbors found him and we're taking turns "caring" for him, but when the weather got colder they took him to the shelter.

I'm not sure that getting a crate is practical (or maybe it's just not something I want to do)...due to the fact that our other dog isn't really a barker, but the little dog can set him off. I also don't see the need to crate both of them...but I don't think it would be right to crate one of them.

Yeah as Yanti said, dogs like crates, it is not a punishment.

So you can do something the dog would like and allow you to sleep or you can shock the dog. No brainer to me. 

rnner66 - 2013-05-05 2:21 AM We were looking at the citronella collar last week but were balking about the cost of the thing. The sales woman at Petco showed us a can of compressed air ($10) that has worked like a charm. It's like the compressed air you buy for your computer, but more of a blast. When they bark, you spray it, not at them, just near them. It startles (distracts) them and they quit. In less than 2 days, all I had to do was bring it with me. If they saw that I had it, they were ANGELS. Less than a week later, the barking has nearly ceased and I dont even have to carry it anymore. It's fabulous! Way better than spending $100 if you don't have to.
