Anniekins:
Does anyone have any experience with bark collars for a pyr?

Do you mean with ear plugs? LOL
Nothing can make Pyrs not to bark. They were bred to bark and they have been doing so for a VERY long time. Me, I actually love the sound of their deep comforting barks ;D
You can try adding a little bit of lemon in a spray bottle to teach them when to stop but it's not a real problem solver :-\

When I had my pyr which was about 20 years ago. She loved to bark. I got her when she was about 4 months old. The people I got her from named her Barkley, which should have been a clue ::) I had no luck all through her long life of getting her to stop barking. I never tried a bark collar as I did not know about them back then. One of my Male neighbors eveen accused her of hampering his performance in bed :o ??? ::) I told him, don't blame my dog for that!!!
I have a bark collar for my Bluetick Coonhound, which works pretty well, although he has broken about 4 of them. I use the one made by petsafe. You can adjust the intensity of the shock. I got shocked by it and it's not terrible, it just gets their attention. The only reason I use it is because of my crabby neighbors. With a pyr you would probably have to shave a spot otherwise it would not penetrate the fur.

I have a remote collar that has 15 levels of shock, and a sound warning button. I prefer it to a bark collar because I can allow Gage to give a warning bark, but can correct him for over barking. Also because I have 3 dogs I needed something the other dogs could not set off. I also like the fact that I can use it for other training as well, it works well for off leash training as well.

I feel the spray bark collars work far better then the shock ones, but maybe thats just been on the dogs I have tried one on.
Good luck, to me telling a Pyr not to bark is like telling a Beagle not to sniff.
