Consumer Reports Tests Mosquito and Tick repellents
Every silver lining has a cloud and in summer it's mosquitoes and ticks. Not only are they annoying, but they can be hazardous to human and pet health. They definitely can interfere with the fun of playing with our pets outdoors and taking them for walks.

The effective products include two types of "Off" and two deet-free:
Another possibility is the battery-powered Off! Clip On Mosquito Protection
with the claim of "head to toe protection up to 12 hours" on the package. Disappointingly, the folks at Consumer Reports abandoned testing their beleaguered subjects after two hours because of bites.

JetCare Anti-Bark Water Spray Collar
If you would like to improve your pet's behavior without using shock or citronella spray collars, this new (to the US and Canada) cold air spray anti-bark training collar should cause no pain or distress.
When your dog misbehaves, the cold air spray in the anti-bark spray collar is directed towards the neck, to surprise your dog. The goal is to interrupt the behavior, so you can then re-direct your dog's attention to another appropriate activity.
As recommended on the site WagandBark, optimally you can train your dog without fear and pain. Try to follow up with positive reinforcement and rewards such as playtime and/or small treats such as bits of kibble.
