Electric Or Spray Collar

[dig4glory 109]

Well don't like dogs barking myself yet alone letting my street put up with it did not say that the collars sends a high pitched noise that seems to aggrevate the dogs and stops them barking I know its last resort as it was for me its not funny getting up at all hours and if this means me keeping my dogs then it has been worth it

hi mate ive used bark collars they seemed to work for me theres loads to choose from just look on net they range from around 10 quid to 60 quid I got a 50 quid one but I also got a 20 quid one both seem to do same job with the same results atb d4g

cheers mate it really a last resort for me the neighbours say its alright its just his breed but another few weeks down the line when the dogs waking there ben up all the time im sure they wont say it ok to be honest i hate the feckers next door but i wouldnt like my kids being woke up

Congratulations on having such a responsible attitude mate. People down the road from me have 6 or 7 dogs barking and howling from 6am every day. Wish they could be as responsible as you obviously are. Well done !!!

cheers mate

Problem is if the dog is barking whilst playing with his pal, or generally running about and letting off steam with another dog there, a shock collar could well turn him nasty against the other dog. Shock collars should only be used in kennels if the dog is kennelled alone. Try the spray collar instead, but make sure to condition the dog with it when he is alone first, not running around with the other dog. You don't want him to associate playing with the other dog with anything nasty.

Put him on his own first yes.

if he keeps on use a canni calm collar.

I treat all my dogs the same, but I've a saluki Lurcher that howls, like a lot of highly strung saluki lurchers I've had.

 

If got a noise abatement notice over it, and to be honest I wouldn't have liked living next door to it, so bought 3 for all the saluki Lurchers I had at the time, didn't know I had them after that.

There sneaky poxy lurchers for howling salukis.

you can take them out for exercise even for work for ages and they howl with in 1/2 hour of being back, you can run down the garden to them, they'll stop, get back in house they'll start.

 

I don't go much on all the modern dog behaviour experts personally.

my exerience deerhound xs no problem, bull Wheaton xs no problem even yappie Maltese I can keep quiet, but saluki xs night mares I've found.

I think it's in the dogs more than how you treat them, if all else fails and last resort a good shock defently will stop them.

I agree with the fact if dog is barking as hes playing in garden then a shock collar would not be a sensible thing to do. has I think the dog will get the wrong sort of message, I only use mine in kennel have u tried limiting his exersize or is he running the garden all day maybe kennel him till you are able to keep eye on things and maybe you could do the correcting all else fails then use a collar atb d4g

My eldest dog is becoming a pain in the arse for whining, he used to do it mainly when he knows his tea is coming but now its getting very regular and neighbours are starting to mention it. It's not a howl just a whine but its driving me mental. Is there a spray or shock collar which would be triggered off a whine rather than a bark? It's got to stop asap or he's gone.

Cheers penny its not when hes palying with the lurcher hes quiet then mabey a little growl of whatever but its the little things like birds in the trees or any sudden noise the dog lives in the house and we used to be able to leave him out pretty much of the day but now we cant ive read about the spray collar and thats the way i want to go ive read its best to leave the collar on for at least a week so the dog doesnt associate the collar with whats happens i just thought i would ask on here and see what everyone else uses cheers

hi mate there are other collars you can get that you can activate yourself maybe try that soon as he whines give him a little shock its more of a pulse than a shock mate it sounds worse than it is got to be worth a try first rather than getting rid that is really the last resort atb d4g

[gnipper 6,651]

I've got a canicom collar mate, the prongs don't agree with his neck when left on though and its when I'm not there I worry about the noise

[dig4glory 109]

What u mean mate do the prings dig in his neck if so stupid thing to say but losen it slightly atb anyway d4g

[gnipper 6,651]

Aye they dig in, if its loose it doesn't seem to affect them either.

[dig4glory 109]

I know mate had same prob just loosen it enough so that its not digging in but yet not to loosejusy enough tension to hold collar in place first time i used mine put it on to tight it burried into dogs neck but soon sorted tension
