Attunga Country Park Retreat at Murwillumbah is fantastic! Especially the cottage down near the river. The hosts, Simone and Phil are great to deal with. And it is a stone's throw from Byron, Mt Warning, etc. Definitely worth checking out. www.attungapark.com.au

These ultrasonic devices can be successful on timid and responsive dogs. However, on more determined or driven breeds where there is more than 1 dog (1 dog barks, but ALL dogs get correction) where there is colourbond fencing where there is a large area (these units have a limited rang In these situations, these units usually aren't very successful. All that said, this is one of the only options to address the barking of neighbours dogs. We wrote this article about devices to address dog barking, here is an excerpt; Ultrasonic Collars/Devices: These collars emit an inaudible ultrasonic tone. It is piercing for dogs, though humans cannot hear it. When your collar detects your dogs bark (or another dog's bark...unfortunately) via a built in microphone, it goes into action! Unfortunately many dogs become used to the ultrasonic tone and continue barking after a short time of using the product. We only recommend them as an alternative for young small dogs with low drive or a timid temperament. Spray Anti Bark Collars: Collars that fire out a burst of Citronella spray after detecting your barking dog are referred to as Spray Collars. Citronella Collars are the most well known but may not be the most effective alternative. Citronella collars are microphone activated (that's right any loud noise can set them off) and the Innotek and PetSafe basic models on the market are classified as weatherproof (not waterproof!!). The PetSafe Big and Little Dog models are waterproof and activated by neck vibration and microphone, meaning no accidental corrections. Big and Little Dog spray collars also spray a more direct spray making them more effective in windy conditions. Spray collars are reasonably effective for many dogs (approx 70% effective). However we do not recommend them for stubborn or working dog breeds as they often get used to the spray and bark through the spray. They are also a little more expensive to run as spray refills are required. Static/Electric Collars: This variety of anti-bark collar is widely regarded as the most effective (98-99% effective). Static bark collars for dogs also come in a wide variety of models for small dogs to large stubborn dogs. There are also options for rechargeable or replaceable batteries. All Static models are activated by a vibration sensor that is in contact with the dog's neck and is activated by the dogs bark and in some cases combining with a microphone sensor for extra reassurance. Electric bark collars are far more advanced than in years gone by, with automatic cut out switches and variable settings to find the right operating mode for your dog. We recommend that when using any type of anti bark collars that they should NOT be worn all day (10-12hrs max). This is for your dogs welfare.

Hi JRT Lover, Firstly, don't introduce your dog to one of these until they are at least 6 months of age, this is really important in regards to your dogs development. There are a heap of fences on the market, my advice here is to look for a reputable brand with a good solid warranty that is handled here in Australia. Quality systems are a successful way of keeping your dog safely in your yard. The basic training associated with the dog fence systems, teaches your dog to respond to the sound of the collar beeping, and not the correction (that only comes into play when dogs challenge the fence). However, there are a number of things to consider to find the best fence for your Jack Russell (we jokingly refer to them as 'a big dog trapped in the body of a small dog'); The breed and temperament of your dog The age and weight of your dog The size of the area you want to keep them in This information will help find the best fence to suit your Jack Russell. I hope this information helps
