thinking about getting one to help "teach" my dog to stfu at stupid stuff.
Any recommendations on getting her to chill out when it comes to the vacuum cleaner, ironing board and other "big stuff"?
She goes crazy at these things..barking, running around the house like her head is on fire.

And doesnt it hurt them when you shock them? don't shock them, when they bark it does release a shock. I think it depends on the level of intensity it is set to. |

Sounds a bit evil if you ask me.

There is also a Citronella spray collar.
Is your dog scared or aggressive around the vacuum cleaner?

Why not just teach him "STOP!"

It won't help because your dog will not make the connection.
I suggest incrementally introducing the disturbing item little by little over time.
Act as if the vacuum in the middle of the room (not running) or the ironing board flat on the floor is no big deal.
As the dog gets used to the current circumstance add the next incremental step and continue to act like it's no big deal.
Eventually, it will be no big deal.
We used to raise Brittany Spaniels when I was a kid.
Every dog was house trained and even after being in the kennel for years they seemed to remember the training.
We used shock collars in the field to keep from losing the dogs if they started chasing a rabbit or deer.
It tended to change their focus almost immediately...LOL
