The Aboistop Anti-Bark Dog Training Collar - Aboistop Collar, the harmless way to stop Nuisance Barking
Barking is a natural form of behaviour for a dog. A dog that barks to give warning of an intruder or a danger, or to communicate his joy to his master, is simply expressing his emotional state. However, if your dog forms the habit of barking at the slightest external provocation, this behaviour becomes distressing. Not only to you, obviously, but also to your dog, which gets into a more or less constant state of excitement and becomes unable to concentrate on other activities. When barking becomes excessive, it is therefore necessary gently to re-train your dog.
We all have the right to live with a pet. However, we are responsible for making sure that our companion is not a nuisance to others. Imagine, for a moment, what our neighbours must feel when they are subjected to incessant noise from a dog: elderly people who have a rest during the day, students who need to concentrate to prepare for examinations. These problems can sometimes grow so serious that the owner has no option but to get rid of his dog. To prevent things from reaching this stage, and solve the problems as soon as they arise, 'Dynavet' have designed a unit that safely and painlessly encourages your dog not to bark, this is called the Aboistop Collar.
The Aboistop anti-bark collar kit is available in the Aboistop Compact and the Aboistop Standard, both these kits include a nylon webbing, adjustable collar with a unit mounted on it, a Aboistop battery and a Aboistop refill canister containing oil of citronella. The difference between the Aboistop Standard and Compact Collars is: Aboistop standard training collar weighs 125grammes and the Aboistop compact training collar weighs 80grammes. The Aboistop compact Collar is designed for the smaller dog but can be used by all sizes. The refill canisters for the Aboistop Dog Collars are available in Citronella, Mustard and Odourless. The replacement Aboistop Compact Battery is also available, for any of the above just click on this link - http://www.vetpharmacy.co.uk/
The Aboistop dog training collar Kit provides a humane and harmless way to help control nuisance barking. The Aboistop dog training collar uses an electronic sensing unit to release a brisk jet of citronella towards the dog's chin when he barks. The combination of smell and noise will distract the dog and stop barking. The Aboistop Kit is used to control problem barking. At each bark, the collar releases a spray of natural citronella oil that surprises the dog. He will stop the unwanted behaviour and try to locate the source of the strange smell. Gradually he will learn that when he smells the scent, he is forbidden to bark. Aboistop products are humane and harmless, this is NOT an electric shock collar. Aboistop is said to be highly effective and it comes with a two year manufacturer's guarantee. The Aboistop Anti bark Collar helps stop nuisance barking with electronic sensing unit, automatically releases spray of citronella, humane, harmless and highly effective.

Canon 450D, is it a good buy at $1299? ?
I'm looking at the Canon 450D. $1299 for the 18-55mm IS kit, comes with extra battery, 4gb SD card and bag. There's also free training for the product. Is worth it? Or can I find a better deal?
Thanks!

What dollars - USA, Canada, Australia, Kiwi, Singapore...
And what kind of training - a DVD, a proper course, ...?
In the USA, the 450D (sold as the Rebel XSi) with that lens costs $670. A decent 4GB memory card costs about $40, an official Canon spare battery costs $53, and a bag... let's say $30. Total for the gear: $793.

I'm afraid I can't help much then - I don't know any good websites to compare prices in Singapore.
1299 Singapore dollars = 720 US dollars, so it seems to be a good deal but I can't be sure.
If you're getting a cheap memory card and bag, a cheap spare battery (non-Canon), and if the training is a DVD (no value), the price in the USA drops to the same level. I don't know if camera prices in Singapore are generally higher or lower than in the USA. I visited Sim Lim Plaza for fun when I was there last year but the prices were terrible (or maybe just for tourists?) I didn't go to Peninsula Plaza which I heard is a better place to buy gear.
What I do know, is that the 450D is a very nice camera. If you're looking for something less expensive, you can consider the previous model, the 400D, or perhaps the Nikon D60 and D40 (the cheapest of the bunch). You can read in-depth reviews for all of those at www.dpreview.com
