ultrasonic dog trainer

I live in a small community and I have neighbors to the north of me who have I think 5 dogs. Our city code for animals is that you can only have 3 dogs, unless you have a shelter license. I have a shelter/rescue license, but I only have my 2 dogs. I don’t know if my neighbors have one or not. The difficult part about them is that they let their dogs come and go out of their house and they bark constantly when I am out in my backyard, so much that I HATE going in my backyard because that’s all they do. Its a see through fence, bout 4 feet high. I think i’m a good neighbor. I don’t let my dogs bark constantly. I yell at them to be quiet because I don’t want that to happen to me. But my neighbors never yell at their dogs to be quiet. So I’ve tried spraying them with water to get them to stop. Doesn’t work. My other neighbors even went to the point of putting up a 6 foot privacy fence because the dogs would bark at them as well. I went and bought a Dazer 2. Its a ultrasonic repelling dog Deterrent Trainer. Produces a discomforting but not harmful high powered sound, audible to dogs but not to humans. It helps stop the approach of unwanted dogs at up to 20 feet. Also a useful aid in training dogs. I’ve used it on my dogs to train them, it works. I used it on the neighbor dogs and the neighbor saw me use it. I tried to explain to him it doesn’t hurt them, but he didn’t care. I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to call the cops on them for being a nuisance. I’d really like to put up a privacy fence, but I don’t know if my landlords would go for that, plus it costs money. Any suggestions or advice would be great. I’m open to everything. Thanks!

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

I can’t decide between a PetSafe Small Dog Confort Fit Shock Training Collar and the Innotek Smart Dog Microsized Lap Dog Trainer, Someone who have tried those??? Which one is the best???? Any advice!!!!
Don’t misunderstand me, I have a year old Beagle and she have received obedience training, she sits, lays down and stay properly… but she also jump on my guests, jumps on my sofa, digs and destroy all living and non-living object near her. I love her and my intention is not to punish her but to correct misbehaviors. Believe me I have read a lot about canine behavior and training, I have tried many methods to correct these misbehaviors but nothing seems to get through her, that is why I think about getting a shock collar, I don’t intent to electrocute her, I just want to find a channel for her to focus and understand a command

Hi. I was thinking about buying the Lentek Ultrasonic trainer which uses noise to control and train bad behavior. Anyways, she’s part hound so whenever she smells something she takes off and just follows her nose. I can’t let her off at the beach or our local lake because of my fear of roads, cars, and losing her.

Anyways, I’m totally opposed to shock collars so I was wondering if this would work?

Should I correct her when I call come and she doesn’t listen? Thanks, any and all help is greatly appreciated!!

Check out this cute and annoying video then go to barkoff.me If you have more than one dog, you will relate to this video. They are using the “Bark Off” command. We are using the BarkOff Ultrasonic Trainer. We were going nuts trying to get our dogs to shut up. All we did was add to the noise level. The BarkOff works, and it’s quiet!

Anyone have experience with prong/pinch collars? I’ve done my research on training tools and have talked about them with my trainer. After weeks of regular intense obedience work (leave it, watch me, come, heel, re-visiting everything, leash corrections, treats, exposing her to things that excite her, regular work with other dogs, etc.) she still reacts to birds, squirrels, people, and other dogs on walks. She tends to lunge, and as of yet we can’t figure out how to get her attention to "snap" her out of it or correct.

What we’ve tried alongside of intense training and exposing:

- ultrasonic devices : work for minor things but she ignores it if she gets really excited.
- chicken and other treats : she spits them out to keep barking and scent doesn’t distract her
- slip collar : ignores corrections
- Halti/Gentle Leader : helped with pulling but not lunging and tends to frustrate her more than anything

Our next step is prong collar or e-collars. I would rather try the less expensive
I know these are just tools and i won’t give up on obedience training – i just need something that can get her attention and correct her from the behavior so i can get her attention BACK on me.

Her attention is on me the rest of the walk, and she listens well. She just has trouble with animals and people and it’s like her ears fill with cotton and she won’t even listen for chicken.

Would rather use a training collar than e-collar as they sound to be easier to use and not as easy to "mess up" or correct at the wrong time.

I also heard that the collar needs to be high up on the neck – well, my girl’s neck is TINY and sort of long. I have trouble keeping the slip collar high up so how would i keep a prong collar high up?
We discussed it with the trainer, who is going to keep an eye out for a small enough collar (the store we frequent was out of the tiny ones.) She will show me how to use it, i’m just curious about how others use them and how to fit it on a dog with a thin longish neck in case i find one up closer to my place.

Any other suggestions for training help would be welcome as well. ^_^
She’s a schnauzer poodle mix, about 15-20 lbs (closer to 20 now.) One year old. She heels the entire walk with minimal pulling until she sees a bird or dog or person (then she lunges and barks.) She’s never spun around or twisted to get out of a collar.

I know tools can’t replace training but she IS trained, she’s just very reactive to things coming at her or in a yard (though she’ll ignore a dog in a fenced yard with a sharp "leave it" form me.)

We are working on the training part (me and trainer) and she’s going into advanced class – once she’s around the dogs for a while she is perfectly fine and is the perfect little listener.

I guess the collar would be used to help stop the lunging during walks more than anything.
dogsbestfriend – i don’t "like" Cesar MIllan i just refuse to judge anyone based on a TV show. I use some of his methods, yes, but none that are "dangerous" and none that make my dog "fear me." From what i see on his shows he doesn’t make a dog "fear him" he makes them respect him.

Some methods are outdated, yes, but that doesn’t mean they don’t work. For example (one i use often) my aunt’s dog is dog aggressive. The first two trainers they had used positive reward methods that you and some others talk about – and it made him worse because sure he didn’t lunge at the dogs, but he still growled and showed aggression signs. A third trainer used SIMILAR methods to Cesar (no rolling, no grabs, but leash corrections and energy focus) and it helped the dog a great bit.

He also says "training" and "psychology" are two separate things – he doesn’t train, he works with the basics like energy and dominance vs submission.

I will check out your advice.
Nancy – First, she’s been through two eight week courses and is going into a third eight week course. She does well in the courses after she’s been around the dogs, and she does well the rest of the time at home – no pulling, she listens to commands when i say them, and we rarely have any trouble with her (stealing items, running away, etc) anymore since my parents started training her as well.

How do you suggest i get her attention during her "outbreaks" then? That’s the only time she reacts – birds, dogs, people, squirrels – and she can go from a good solid "watch me" to an all out barking fit. Sometimes she’ll even sit/stay and continue to go nuts!

Like i said we "talked" about using tools. I know that tools don’t replace training. She may not be the best trainer but she’s one that has classes and private classes during times i can actually DO and she’s one i can actually AFFORD. Everything else in my area is too expensive for me to afford at present and are at inconvenient times.
