ultrasonic dog

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?

Okay sooo I live in a town house and I have the luxury of living next to a lady who’s house is over ran with roaches! (shutters) She has no desire of getting rid of them either. So now I am seeing them in my house. I saw two babies in the kitchen which I killed and than tonight I seen one crawling on my bedroom wall! I tried to get it with a napkin but it got away! Now two hours later I am sitting in the middle of my room with the light on… The air conditioner on full blast and I have my cat on one side of me and my dog who loves to eat bugs on the other… I am afraid of going to sleep with this thing in my room. So my question is…. What ultrasonic pest Chaser works best? I’m talking about the ones that you plug into the wall! If not that what can I use that is safe around my pets and children? Also we have an exterminator that comes once a month but we are still seeing them. Ewww… Please help!

I’m always looking for kinder ways to correct my dog’s various…quirks. Various types of training, she’s better than she was when I first got her. Would freak out at even the sound of a human’s voice or the jingle of dig tags. I fashioned a remote release air collar for her, if she gets too into whatever it blasts a half a second of compressed air. Doesn’t hurt at all. I thought I had created something but it seems there is already something of this.

Is there such a thing as "air training"? My friends joked I should sell the collars as they’re completely humane, free of chemical, shock, ultrasonic noise and pinchers/prongs but it works well. I don’t want to be stealing someone’s idea/product though. …?

Heard of any of this?

I just started summer break and I want to sleep in a little because I’m going to start summer in college in a week. But it’s impossible to sleep in because every morning from 9-10, the f*cking neighbors dog barks nonstop. I don’t even know why but it’s so annoying. I don’t want to cause any trouble to my neighbors. I was thinking about using the ultrasonic sound thing and shutting that f*cking dog up, but I have a 9 year old german shepherd myself and I don’t want her to get punished for doing nothing. The neighbors dog barks ALL morning and at us if we are near the fence which is where the tool shed and stuff is. And yet, my dog stays silent. She never barks back or anything. How do I shut this damn dog up?!

Alright, I just received a call from a past client. She has a kennel run for both her dogs, but one has started to guard the housing unit of the kennel, and the other dog won’t stop barking and whining because he can’t get inside, and her neighbor is complaining.
Another issue is that the kennel is about 100 yards from their house on the back side of their property so getting to the dogs in enough time to correct the behavior when it is happening is impossible for her, and I do NOT make 3 am. house visits to clients. She put an ultrasonic bark deterrent in the kennel run portion, and that has worked to cease the dog’s barking, HOWEVER, the dog with the guarding issues needs to be corrected, and the issue resolved. We’ve already removed one source of contention between the two from the kennel, but the fact still remains that there are 2 dogs in 1 kennel that is too small for the both of them.
I suggested the dogs be crated within the housing unit of the kennel so as to avoid the guarding issue, and that worked for a few weeks before the client explained that she had relented, and let the dog out because she could hear the dog whining and barking over the baby monitor she’d set up in the housing unit.
We’ve tried crating one, and leaving the other free, but that is still an issue. Because the one dog has issues being separated.
I recommended crating the dogs inside the house, but she is completely against that idea due to the inconvenience of having to fold away the crates every morning.
My most recent recommendation was to give the dog’s a freedom trial run. The dogs have a dog door that leads into the house’s attached garage, and I recommended leaving the kennel door open at night so the dogs could go in there, or into the garage. Our only concern with this is that the dogs may bark out near where the neighbor lives and cause her to complain again. (dogs are contained by an invisible fence.)
The fact the dogs are soo far removed from the house, and the client is borderline unwilling to adhere to my suggestions in regard to this issue is a bit of a challenge here, and I’m starting to run out of ideas that don’t include bark collars (I hate them, but the husband is thinking about using them)
I’m beginning to think that it would be best to use an e-collar on the dog guarding the kennel when he’s guarding it because the e-collar would offer the correction from a distance, but at the right time. Now, I would only instruct my client to use the pager setting, and the shock button would be taped off so there wouldn’t be any mistakes there, but I don’t really like this idea, and it’s a last resort sor of thing.
If any of you have any recommendations as to how to handle this I’d be grateful. I’m trying to offer them a cost effective solution, but I’m thinking their best bet would be to put in a second dog door on the housing unit of the kennel, and divide the kennel run with a fence so the dogs have their own housing unit and kennel run.
It is extremely irritating to try and help someone whose dogs are so decidedly removed from the family, and all the dog’s want is to be near said family. The dogs do well in the house, but the owners insist on having them outside at night. This is something I have told them repeatedly I’m not a fan of, but hey, that’s how they want it.
If it matters at all, the dogs are both 9 mo. old adolescent, altered males. One is a Catahoula mix (the one with guarding issues), and the other is a hound/lab mix.
They’ve done well with all the other training, but this one issue has just recently reared it’s ugly head, and I’m at a loss.
Hate to say it DOG, but you really should read the entire thing because if you had…you would know I’ve already, REPEATEDLY told them to do so, and they won’t.
I’m pet sitting for them on Saturday, and we’re going to schedule another session to "talk". I’m basically going to kindly put the hammer down on them, and let them know what needs to be done. After the initial training the way they’ve got the dog’s living is basically undoing all the work we’ve done.
Ironically, I’ve told them they need to walk the dogs, but they argue that the dogs get enough exercise running their three acre yard. I host pack walks around town, and have even invited them to join…offering to assist if need be.
It is becoming clear that they feel I haven’t done anything for them…in this area. Well, frankly, as you all know, I can’t do anything if they won’t listen to reason. SOOOOOO, the hammer will be brought!

My neighbor has an annoying little dog that won’t shut up. Unfortunately she is also local councilwoman. We have spoken directly to them (before anyone called the police) in the friendliest manner possible and they simply replied that it doesn’t bother them so we should just deal. As she is one the council (and sets the police departments budget) the cops refuse to act. We (and our neighbors) have called the police multiple times but to no avail. Also my roommates have cats so they won’t let me get anything ultrasonic.
While I like the idea of going to the news I live in a small town right next to a large city so all our local stations are the city stations and there’s more than enough other stuff for them not to care. I’m not gonna lie I’ve thought about hitting it with a paintball gun or something but I couldn’t bring myself to abuse an animal.

Bell & Howell have some out that claim to repel ants, roaches, rats, mice, by just plugging them into an electrical outlet, also Good Life and Black & Decker puts them out. They ‘say’ not to use them if you have hamsters, gerbils, etc, but that they are safe for dogs & cats. I wish they’d make something like this for fleas, However, they are not all that inexpensive but if they work, they’d be worth their weight in gold, not to have an exterminator come every month for at least . We live in South Florida so here, it is a necessity to have pest control, and Florida is just one big ant hill as it is. If you have used these, please tell me.

Hi there, i hope you do not mind my attack of questions.
My dog has a habit of barking and growling at other dogs when she is on the lead and even though she is harmless and just wishes to play most people are afraid to let their dogs near her so it makes socialising difficult.
She is six years old and for the past year i have not managed to find a suitable "working" way of training her out of it.
I have tried a muzzle to stop the fears of others, I have tried a canny collar, i have tried a pinch collar, neither work to stop the pulling and the barking i can usually only stop by making her sit and ocassionally having her lie down whilst i hold my arm over her neck, it sounds harsh but i do not harm her (usually the owners panic if she throws a tantrum so i have to get her out of the way to make her calm down) after a few minutes of seeing a dog she usually behaves pretty well but people never stick around that long. She is a stubborn dog and with the canny collar she always pulls out of it, with the pinch collar she learnt after a few days that she could in fact pull and it would not hurt her, i am considering getting an ultrasonic collar in hopes that it will help teach her not to bark, i am hoping this will also stop people being afraid of letting their dogs near her as if she is not barking she wont be as "scary" is this a good idea or does anyone else have a better suggestion? Again, i do not harm my dog and i never would, i do not force her to lay and pin her down, i just convince her to stay down or she is not allowed to see the dog in question.

And yes she is friendly, i know for a pure fact, i let her near the dogs and she only ever wishes to play, she has never harmed a dog and many a dog trainer will tell you the same, she is only telling me that she wants to go over to the dog, but i can not socialize her when she behaves this way. She is a German shepherd cross, on the small size, but people fear her so much it worries me.
I am curious to know what is "NOT TRUE"
I know this is not aggression, i know it is fear related, and i also know she is not aggressive.
Dorothy i thank you for your advice, but i have to say it has been tried and tested, she has her moments when she wont bark or she stops instantly…But people are not very social here and then she misbehaves more when she doesn’t get to go towards the dog in question after "behaving"
No i will not hit her because hitting a dog teaches it nothing but more fear.

I ignore her if she barks or pulls, sure she is pretty strong and if she tried hard enough i’d be on my ass but i ignore her nonetheless, i’ve been doing this for so long, she has learnt that i’m doing it to make her "stop barking and pulling" but if i then go near dog, say the dog comes around the corner, off the lead, without an owner (as most do) BOOM! she’s off with the attitude, i have noticed she only snaps at any dog if it growls at her first when she causes a scene and if they run sh

Has anyone used this item in particular?

There are several dogs in the neighborhood that get out there and have bark-athons. And their barking excites my dogs so then they bark! I really just want to prevent my dogs from being a nuisance. I’ve tried the Bark-Off (the one that they show on tv) but it didn’t work at all!

Thanks!!
