This question about a westie training problem concerning barking was posted on our busy Westie forum:

I have tried, a shake can, sight deprivation of the TV, putting him in his crate, teaching him to bark, spraying him with water, and even a bike horn. I finally did the unthinkable for me and went and bought a citronella anti-bark collar. And that is not even working.
