I want to get a valve that is opened and closed instantly by an electric current. It will be put on a pressurized garden hose. When I hit a button, the valve will open instantly, and water will spray out the hose. When I let off the button, the valve will close, and the water will shut off.
I'm trying to make a simple system to help break my dog of barking.
What is the name of this valve/actuator/device? And where might I find one?

Hi, solenoid water valve? Like used on washing machines?(hot and cold water inlet)
anti-bark collar search at:
If you do get a solenoid valve, make sure to get one that operates on 12 volts, but in the real world, the anti bark collar would work better
Yeah, what you will do is teach him that when he is hot or thirsty all he has to do is bark...
Go to the lawn irrigation section of Home Depot or Lowes. They sell a series of electrically operated solenoid valves that can be adapted to garden hose use (normally attached to rigid PVC pipe)
Or scrounge one from a discarded washing machine or dishwasher.

A bark collar will be cheaper and much more effective. I use electronic training collars for my dogs, It doesn't take long for them to figure things out. I just got a new Yellow this week and already he knows the yard boundaries. Searcher
I dunno, but you're gonna teach your dark to bark when he's thirsty.
A "Sprinkler Valve" and some PVC pipe fittings. You can run it off a 12V transformer or a car battery.

Worked for me when I was little.
Antifreeze in his water bowl will stop the barking. Sponges soaked in bacon grease will also help.
Good luck.
