Barking problem

[reynardhunter 3]

I have two pups which are nearly six months old one is a patterdale and the other is lakeland border beagle, the patterdale bitch is showing a lot more promise than the other pup as in she has bolted rabbits from cover and actually caught and killed one which was in the early stages of myxy, The problem is she barks a hell of a lot especially at night, and as i live in a housing estate it could present a problem, I dont want to get rid of her as i,m sure she,ll make a good worker, Has anyone had this problem if so, how do i solve it?

In all my life I've Never encountered this problem with a Dog kept Indoors, mate ..... Kennelled?

I cant keep her indoors or i would probably end up sleeping in her ****ing kennel, I have never had this with a dog before, What do i do ditchshitter? {and dont say get rid of me bird!}

you could try turning on a hose pipe on it evey time it barks but timing is croushall put hose on

as soon as it starts hope that helps

My Brittany used to be a bitch for that, the lightest noise would get her yapping. I used an anti-bark spray collar. Got one off fleabay, worked a treat.

I will try that wild dog but what about during the night? I have throw several items at her from the window and roared at her to stop which she does untill i,m falling back to sleep and the **nt starts again

In all probability, mate? Read people suggesting hose pipes. Buckets of water. Cittronella Collars. Shock Collars. Radio's etc. etc. etc.

 

Try all that.

 

Have a near nervouse breakdown.

Send the Dog on it's way.

 

 

I'm sorry, but I really don't have any other answers on this one

Thanks ferret, but i thought if i used one of those it might ruin her sounding when she goes to ground?

They soon learn that it's the collar that produces the unpleasantness. If she's not wearing it, she barks. As soon as she's got it on, she doesn't. This then generalises to the point where she rarely barks in the garden, as this is where she used to wear the collar. This doesn't stop her barking elsewhere though. I'm sure that with the excitement of the hunt and dig, yours will be baying when you need it. I would certainly recommend one as it worked for me.

The words of an honest man.

 

As the summers days are long, Rey. And old enough and experianced enough of things to be a cynical b*stard too. But 'All Knowing' ? Light years from it. Please don't take mine as the last word here! Try what ever other suggestions these people have to offer. You owe the Dog that. More to it; Ye owe it to Yeself.

 

Listen. Here's how it goes: 1. Get a Dog. 2. Dog 'doesn't work out'. 3? Test of Manhood. Ye gonna break ye own balls sorting that Dog / Your Own inadaquecies around that (Dogs) particular 'problem'? Or ye gonna shoot her down the tubes?

 

Let the Dog go and that cheapens Dogs on ye own subconcious level. It makes them a disposable commodity. First hint of a problem? F*ck the thing off and pick up a new one. " Aah, That one? Piece of shit! Didn't do what I expected it to! ". That's one piece of shit frame of mind for a man to let himself get into. Right? That's why so many Dogs are killed by the Death Camps of the Arsepca. People give up without a fight.

 

Fight for your Dog, Rey. What do ye expect it to do for you, down that hole?

 

 

Listen to The Ferret there. He Tried. He Fought for his Dog and won. So try those collars. Try the radio. Hot water bottle. Company. Toys. What ever! Contact ye local Dog Warden and explain the situation. Say ye Know this Dog'll likely be driving the neighbourhood mad. Ask His advice. Read through Google till ye eyes bleed. Talk to Everybody and try Everything. Stop at Nothing!

 

Because I'll tell ye what? The moment you say, " F*ck it. I give up. " You're f*cked. That would be defeatism. A cop out ye wouldn't accept in ye own small Dog. And how many more Dogs after this one? Think about that.

 

Oh, and talk to that girl of yours too, man. Just what is her problem with the Dogs? I'm not about to get into the 'Shoori vasta' here. But I can't help thinking that there's just One opponent. How many potential opponents are ye ready to face when the nasty, scrawled notes start popping onto ye mat? Maybe think about that too?

 

I've seen 'em come. I've seen them fade away, Rey. You're in the spot light now. Take a stand, man. Show 'em! Please don't buckle and slink away on this one ~ like the others.

 

It's Your Make or Break, Rey. What's it to be, man?

Bucket of water everytime for me they soon get fed up with getting soaked works 8x out of ten and cheap as well but as DS says stick with it

Agree with Ferret: had the same problem with a 8 month old lurcher: it took him all of 5 minutes to associate the collar with the shock: now he's quiet in the kennel with the collar on: if you leave it off he starts up again. An almost magical cure in my opinion: but would it work on a terrier: you know the way they think (do they actually THINK?): something causes it pain and it goes beserk trying to kill it: that is terrier mentality: you can use these collars at different settings though, so just a tickle of a shock at first(there is a warning beep first; if no further sound is made then the zap doesn't happen.) then just enough to make it think a bit. Quite often, I have been told by a friend of mine who used to be a dog warden, once the dog is used to the collar, yu don't actually need it any more: just use a dummy collar: replacing it every once in a while with the real one if the dog kicks off again. Good luck.

had this problem with a russell bitch once,did everything ditch has said except send the dog on it's way,fought constantly with the wife,busted two nieghbours,stayed up three nights soaking it,brought the dog in the house:SORTED!!

ive had that with a terrier water best trick i know soon shuts them up dont go to them when they bark to shut them up mine were doing it to get to me cold water is a shock to them it worked for me good luck

Invest £60 in a bark inhibitor, and not the poxy citronella ones. Hosepipes and buckets of water are fine until its 3 in the morning and you have to wake up and go outside to the kennel, also a bucket of water on a dog kenneled in this weather is not to good.......a bark collar will stop the problem without you having to mess about................
