paulus 26 Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 try one of the collars that spray citrus available on ebay Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bosun11 537 Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Very very difficult with an adult dog. Firstly, i'd excercise the fecking legs off it as often as possible & give it sommat to occupy it whilst its in there. I'll be honest I don't know much about those anti-bark collars but they can and do work i''m told and if all else fails, shoot it, thats sommat I do have expierience on. Best of luck. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ginga john 268 Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) Its called separation anxiety, seems to affect a lot of shepherds, he doesn't like being apart from his pack and that's you If it gets too bad you have two choices, either a lot of training a bit at a time or pts, some will come out of it, some just wont Edited December 15, 2011 by ginga john 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rainger 0 Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 I have two rescue Lurchers. One of them starts the other off and you can hear them along way off. I bought a citrus collar. Not a cheap one at £68 and he stopped instantly. Only trouble is other one can set it off. Poor sod, but this only happens occassionally. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mickey Finn 3,007 Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Bark collar (electric) is probably your best bet. I have a dog ( german wirehair) that is a dedicated barker. He's learned to bark just once. Pause, then bark once again. This prevents the collar from administering a shock. It's kind of funny, and tolerable. Good luck! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
heart of wales 19 Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Can You post a photo of Your kennels and set up,Can the dog be shut in when Your not there ? Does he bark at night when Your there ? is he on a chain or kenneled ? A barking German Shepherd in the right hands can be a good deterent for both You and Your nieghbors One thats constantly barking can be a pain in the arse How old is he ?
