is there a collar i can put on my 5 year old dog ho when not in my company has a non stop wine ,but not your ordinary wine This is very loud and can go into a howling noise
i was told there is a collar that gives off a high pitch noise ? i dont want  SHOCK COLLAR  most i can see on ebay are for barking and he doesnt do that its just a nonstop WINE

I don't think the collars would work for this, but you DEFINITELY don't want to use one anyway. If he is whining and howling when you are not there, he's unhappy and the underlying cause needs to be remedied -scaring him by putting a spray collar or similar on will only make him feel even more insecure.

>i was told there is a collar that gives off a high pitch noise


Which is pretty cruel to use on an already distressed dog.

Look at the cause, rather than the symptoms.

Other dogs rarely make any difference to a dog with separation anxiety - this year I've been working through a program with all of mine, about half had it.  Now I can leave 7 but Linc is still a problem, but the others relaxing makes no difference.

What does he have to do when he's not in the room with you?  Filled kongs, that sort of thing?

You need to train him to relax when you are not with him and this needs to be done gradually - get yourself a copy of 'Treating Separation Anxiety' by Marlena DeMartini-Price.  Excellent book by a behaviourist who only deals with SA cases, easy to follow steps.  Only about £6 in e-book format and you can get a Kindle app for the computer if you haven't got a suitable handheld device. 

Whatever you do, do not put any sort of punishing collar on him, it will NOT help - it WILL make things worse.  Also, any of these collars are designed for barking - constant noise such as whining may either not set them off, or will set them off all the time.  And noises from the other dogs or other sources can also set them off so he could get punished when he isn't making any noise.  All-round bad idea.
