From www.petsafe.net – An overview of the PetSafe collarless ultrasonic remote dog trainer. When the system emits its ultrasonic sound, your furry friend will understand that you want him to stop whatever he is doing. The system also has a positive tone to reward good behaviors as well as a negative tone to counter undesirable ones.
Our neighbor’s dog barks incessantly all morning. I wanna know if I’ll be getting ripped off if I buy one of these.
I am about to go crazy from my rude neighbors barking dog. Every morning at 5:00 a.m. she puts it out and it barks non-stop for a half an hour or more. I will buy one of these if they work. I can’t find any independent tests online.
Rescue member, thanks but no thanks. You don’t seem to have a clue. I have called the Sherriff and they say to call Animal Control who says they only come out during business hours 9-5. I have tried to speak to the rude old lady and she cussed me out. I guess her dogs need to bark is more important than my need for rest and peace of mind.
Our neighbor’s dog barks constantly when put on their patio that shares a 7 foot solid wooden fence with our patio. The dog barks because it wants back inside where all the food and the air conditioning are located, and the barking occurs just 8 yards from our living space. But it does this for hours each day and the elderly neighbor has threatened to sue us for harrassment if we even so much speak or write to her about this or any neighbor issues. We’ve called the police once and they spoke to her about it. This did no good. We are now in the process of reporting her again and again until she gets the message because this level of disturbance is against city ordinances.
We are looking at other alternatives to try to address this issue since friendly communication is out of the question from her point of view. So in looking at ultrasonic dog silencers that one can place in proximity to the offending dog, my question is, "Do these devices really work to deter barking?"
My girlfriend has a year old Jack Russell – Australian Shepherd mix. VERY hyper dog. She comes to visit every weekend or every other and brings the dog. She has a cage, but doesn’t like to leave her in there. I love the dog and can deal with her, but I can’t deal with the barking or the constant need of attention.
When I walk her, she pulls constantly. I shorten the leash and keep the dog behind or beside me, and try to keep her head up. I try not to allow her to jump up on counters or the kitchen table. And I definitely don’t like her on my bed.
However, if we don’t feed it constant attention- she will start to whine, growl and bark at us. If we are trying to have a quiet night- the dog is always getting in the way. Also, if she hears ANY noise outside the door, she’ll bark like crazy. So much so that I’m considering a shock collar or ultrasonic device without telling my girlfriend.
Since I’m not the dog’s primary owner, how can I teach the dog to respect me in my apartment?
I’ve read up a little, and know we just need to ignore her when she starts to growl or bark- but so far she’s just kept going until my girlfriend gives in. When my parents got our dog (16 years ago) we put her in the basement when she was bad, or bonked her on the nose- and treats to enforce good behavior.
Thanks in advance!
I’ve been having a difficult time training my new dog to go potty outdoors and she’s already made some boo boos on my carpet. I don’t want her to find them again and keep peeing in those spots
The reason is the dog barks at other dogs while inside our fence. I know that our dog had little socialization when it was young and did not get Her until She was about 3-4 months old. I take Her to the Dog Park, and everyone and every dog likes Her. She even receives complements about How well She behaves with other dogs. But if those same dogs walk by our fence, it is all bets off. One Dog in particular is a Shnoser who drives Her wild. The other night, She pulled away from my Wife on the leash and the two got into a fight. Ended up taking other dog to vet for stitches. So I know She needs training, but do we use someone that trains hunting dogs that uses shock collars.
HI I have a big Black lab 1 year and 5 months years old. And I want a collar that can help me train her she is a good dog but I need help and don’t have money for a trainer. She is a quick learner and I heard a bark collar is the best investment. I want a zap collar that there is a remote so she doesn’t get zapped everytime. thats harsh. So could you help me find a good one?
I supose its a weird question, but I want to have small items that I can put on a keychain and make a "dog" keychain for portable use in my purse.
I already have a tick twister, small flashlight, dog deterrent spray.
Do they make other interesting products that are small and keychain friendly for dogs?
Just added a whistle and a clicker! Thank you!
Ohh, a poo bag is a good idea too
I have 2 Mastiffs, and they love to chew and chew a lot.
Myself and others play with them frequently and they have about 5 acres that they run on all the time.
They are normally very good, but every once in a while, they chew the porch furniture, the fence to the pool, and the porch itself.
I would also like to keep them from the plants out front. They don’t chew on them, but they are so big, they just smash everything.
They also pull logs out of a woodpile to chew on, and they do this all the time.
I only add all of this so i don’t get people telling me they are bored or have nothing to chew on.
So, what are some homemade recipes?
Just some extra stuff. I play with my dogs almost daily. We also live next to a community property where there are literally dozens of people that come and play with them and run them around.
They also behave excellent. When I am around, they will do anything I tell them too immediately.
Chew toys also don’t work. They are close to 200 lbs each and can snap anything into pieces within minutes.
I’m getting my female dog spayed in 10 days and I have about 10-15 stray male dogs in my yard basically living here like they own the place. At first I tried to chase them off but that didn’t work so well. Some of them are aggressive and mean and have charged at me once or twice but haven’t bitten me (yet). I’ve called the local animal control but I haven’t gotten a hold of anyone yet. Now I’m looking for sprays and ultrasonic sound devices but I’m not comfortable enough to buy them just in case they don’t work or they hurt the dogs. When my dog gets spayed, will that make the strays go away?
Also, how do I get rid of my dogs female smell from her first heat cycle after she gets spayed? I’ve heard that I can use pine-sol on my deck, but also that the rain will wash it away? Is this true?
do i have to use my dogs head collar for life? i really dont want to use it for life.
We have aquired 2 sled dogs, from a deceased family member friend, we love dogs and were wondering if we could leash train these two sled dogs and not ruin their pulling(we think dog sledding would be fun) we will probably use a prong collar just for training.
So, i’m getting a dog. I am 17, I will be taking this dog to college. (im going to community college-ive researched pet friendly apartments) But my dad said I can get a dog at the latest Christmas, he will consider it sooner if I bring my grades up.
I know you should carry pepper spray/knife/cell for protection. But I would like a guard dog…more that looks the part though if you know what I mean? I will not train it to attack, it would end up put to sleep or something you should never train your family dogs to attack, I know its the dog itself not the breed-our family Labrador is very protective but labs are supposed to be friendly. I just want a dog that will be a deterrent/looks at least slightly intimidating. I also want an affectionate, loyal dog with short fur. I do really want a Beagle, but they arent exactly intimidating. Any breed ideas? I love Catahoula Leopard Dogs but my dad thinks they are ugly. Should I go with a Beagle even though they wont be good for protection?
haha no in alaska you can carry concealed weapons
im not in college now i do online homeschooling i have time for a puppy
ahh i want a mutt bad but its hard to get one where i live. its about 0 which is less than a purebred but they have to do a homecheck, interview, blah blah.
i plan on walking the dog twice a day and just letting it out to run and go on a hike on weekends. or a long trail.
