Absolutely agree.
Don't forget too, you want your dog to bark at certain occasions. Most importantly, when there are intruders trying to get into your house, or people you want to scare off (noisy gang that won't move on etc). As well as that, stopping a dog barking is taking its natural instinct away, and although I've never heard of these bark collars (but I now hate them) it soudns like they would do dangerous psychological damage to the dog. What does your vet say?
Remember, your dog(s) deserve(s) to be treated fairly too; he/she/they are not just something you push the mute button on when they get too loud. Part of the joy of having a dog is the happy bark; you don't want to take that away. Learn how to control them properly. Ever watch The Dog Whisperer?
