obi2 239 Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 (edited) Can anyone recommend a good shock collar that gets results. This pup is going to have to police at the door soon with constant barking. Iv tried everything and bought wee cheap shock collars but they were crap. I feel this is my last resort. It's not lonely as all the dogs can see each other in the kennels it's just constantly barking at them. I don't want to put it in with a terrier coz when out its always hassling them so if would be worse in a kennel and the terrier might turn. If anyone has any other advice or different method that would be appreciated, thanks Edited March 25, 2014 by obi2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

obi2 239 Posted March 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 I tried with the hose mate ran out everytime then sat the hose facing the kennel so the she would see it but didnt work either. She would wait till I was back upstairs, in the bed then kick off again the wee shite lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bosun11 537 Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 I've never used a shock collar, sometimes think if a dog is so bad to merit one then maybe that dog should be PTS? First off Obi, re-think your exercise plan and get the fecker out as much as. Also, you could re-do your kennels so it can't see the other dogs and deffo you, maybe that might help. Use temporary boards to prevent them seeing each other and you. Try soft music, classical FM, with a bit of talk too, works well. If you want to be more direct and use water, then do it when the dog can't see you. Place a bucket on a string above where the dog stands and barks, pull when it starts! Or try a super soaker but do it in stealth mode. See dogs, when a bit neurotic or fearful, will take all sorts of stick and punishment, just to see you. So those that go out and clobber them will only find them whining again after you go in. The poor bugger, will take the pain just to have your attention... And IMO thats a horrible cycle, wrong on every level... Best of luck mate... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

obi2 239 Posted March 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Thanks for the replies guys. I will try boarding the kennels so they can't see each other as iv a feeling she is barking at them and not for no reason. I was thinking about doing this anyway because if I decide to take the terriers and leave her one day she will prob howl the place down. Failing that il look into these collars. No way will it get pts tho. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smiles40 24 Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 I feel you have to judge the dog as I think they can make a timid dog a wreck and nervous,study the dog and see. If you can make it more at home,comfortable, 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

littlefish 574 Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 What age is it? Have you got a calm, sensible companion it can go in with? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Huan72 687 Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 This type of thing can not be taken in isolation and everything needs considering, how old is the pup, has the pup ever lived in doors, what age did the pup leave her mum, how much time do you spend with the pup on a daily basis. Just like people, all dogs are different, some dogs are more sensitive or needy than others, some might be happy with a stroll out and then into the kennels for the day, but some may not. Sometimes having a "honeymoon" period with a new dog can cause long term problems, that's where for the first week or so you have a certain regieme to help the pup settle and then suddenly change into the normal routine. The pup then expects a certain way of living and its suddenly changed, confusing the pup. I don't like shock collars personally, you can do a lot of damage to a dogs behaviour and temperament if the timing isn't perfect and by that I mean totally spot on. Also I feel that they are a dangerous short cut, unwanted behaviour in dogs arises due to an unbalanced relationship with its owner and by using a collar you are loosing an opportunity to create a stronger bond with your dog. Dogs above everything desire companionship and leadership, a well balanced dog trusts its owner to provide everything he needs, security, companionship, leadership, food, the lot and if they are secure in this the dog is balanced. Aggressive dogs, nervous dogs, noisy dogs, obviously genetics plays a role but the single biggest factor in all of these problems will boil down to the relationship the dog has with his owner. Carefully think about everything that you have done since you have had the pup and be honest about the time and the quality of the time that you spend with the pup and take it from there. I definitely would not even consider using a shock collar on a dog that may be feeling insecure about its relationship with you, find a cure to the problem, don't just mask the symptoms 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
