Frankie just loves being his little Coon Hound self and joyfully vocalizes EVERYTHING..shrill, loudly and non stop! That's what Coon Hounds do. That's who they are. I understand and respect that. I love that about him. Sometimes Inlove it a little less than others!
When talkingnwith Michelle one night, Frankie was howling at who knows what. We basically had to end the conversation because we couldn't hear each other. But before hanging up she suggested the "Pet Corrector"! OOOOMMMMDDDDD! It works perfectly to interupt his little singing pawty!. THANKS MICHELLE!
This little "sample" of how well it works is NOT an instance of how I would normaly use it. He's singing because he wants to go chexk a few things out a d he wa ts to talk to me about it. But I couldn't help giving him jist a tinynlittle redirection so you can see how wellnit works! All I've ever done is given just a tiny, brief, soft spray of pressurized air and it makes a swoosh sound. And then I praise him when he's wuiet. Virtually after one use I just show him the can and that works!
Regulating some howling:
Merry Myrtle stares at me and drools when she sees me eating. I tell her "back" and she could care less. It doesn't work as well when trying to interrupt Myrtle's focus on food
Merry Myrtle could care less...: http://youtu.be....._k9e3wqgi8
Speaking of Frankie, the extraordinary Cooh Hound...well....apparently someone forgot to tell my Racoon friends how extraordinary he is! This one (I call her Emmy Lou) could care less!! Frankie is in his yard but still only about 25' away.

I can't get passed the raccoon......named Emmy Lou..........hanging out, and eating with your cats. It's like the cat pact has welcomed her in. I think I love this raccoon.

Jerry, I checked Amazon. They have it there. We may have to get some to convince Ollie that stopping to talk with someone while we are on a walk is NOT an invitation for him to join the conversation.
Kathi and the Turbotail April Angel...and the Labradork
Murphy is a five year old Lab/Chessie cross. He was hit by a car on 10/29/12 and became a Tripawd on 11/24/12. On 2/5/13, he had a total hip replacement on his remaining back leg. He has absolutely no idea that he has only three legs!
UPDATE: Murphy lived his life to the fullest, right up until an aggressive bone lesion took him across the Rainbow Bridge on April 9, 2015 and he gained his membership in the April Angels. Run free, my love. You deserve it!

Yeah, that's where I got it ...Amazon. They have some with "scents" from other dealers. I just want the quick swish of the sound and not any kind of "fragrance" floating arpund.
Hopefully Tripawds.com can work out a little "deal" with the Pet Corrector people
At least we can order thru Amazon Smile.
Elizabeth, it's funny how the Opossums and Racoons all eat side by side with the cats and with each other. They only raise a fuss if a member of their own species wants to join them at the dinner table. I'll try and snap a picture of "Macaroni" the Possum on his next visit. And if you like Emmy Lou, you are going to.love her mom Matilda and dad Chester!
Jerry and Kathi...we have to have "before and after" video!
