It works with the movement of the neck and vocal cords I think. It's supposed to stop them from barking... might be an option if you really need it. My dogs are "alert" dogs... They let us know when something weird is going on but wouldn't really attack an intruder (more likely to lick them to death) and now that I have 2, if one decides to bark at something, the other one has to chime in, so it's double the fun :). Glad to hear Yoshi does well when left on his own in the house. Ours were doing well, until last weekend when I went out of town and Archie (our newest dog) decided to express his unhappiness by peeing on the corner of the couch and rug so now they're back to being crated anytime we're not home. Too bad the dog can't make the money to pay to have the couch and rug steamcleaned :).
