Petsafe Bark Collar Is an Excellent Method on How to Teach Your Dog How to Control Their Bark

Dog Lover — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 09:52:48 +0000

If you’re having trouble with managing the barks of your dogs, then you have two great solutions available. You can buy either a birdhouse or a dog bark collar. Both are truly effective. Otherwise, they won’t be selling like hotcakes in the market today. However, they also have their own differences. Knowing where the dissimilarities lie will make it easier for you to decide which one is more ideal for your situation.
Why They Are Similar
The birdhouse and the bark collar, both from Petsafe, offer excellent methods on how to teach your dogs how to control their bark. These devices send off ultrasonic waves, which will be sufficient to surprise or annoy the dog for a while. Either way, your pet will stop barking to hopefully end the sound.
As the process continues, though, your pet will soon be able to connect the high-pitch sound to his or her bark. Thus, it won’t take long before he or she learns to bark only when necessary or at a more controlled decibel.
There’s no need to fret about the neighbors. Not one of the humans would be able to hear the sound because it’s too high for your hearing. However, since dogs have sensitive ears, they will be able to pick them up.
You can also adjust the correction levels of the devices. This is necessary to keep up with the learning capabilities of your pets. You really cannot expose your dogs to the same high pitch sound even if they already know how to manage their barks. If nothing has changed, it would be difficult for your pets to know what really causes the sound.
Where the Differences Lie
Though they share in methods and correction levels, there are still quite a number of differences between birdhouses and dog bark collars. Topping the list is their design.
Birdhouses are, well, shaped like small houses that you can display right into your garden or perhaps mount on a rock. You just need to keep in mind that their height is not more than five feet from the ground. They can detect barking sounds that are within their 50-meter range.
Simply put, any kind of dog would be able to hear the high pitch sound once he or she barks. It doesn’t matter if it’s your pet or your neighbors’. So if you’re irritated or bothered by the dog next door, you’re going to use this. You are also going to need this if your neighbors are already annoyed by your dogs.
The downside of birdhouses is that you can never bring them to your travel. They are also not ideal for indoors. Worse, since they can be set off by other dogs, even if your dogs are not barking, they would still be able to hear the sound.
If you want something more personal, you can get a dog bark collar instead. As its name suggests, this one just needs to be strapped into the neck of your dog with the use of its adjustable Quickfit system. Moreover, Petsafe dog bark collars can hear only the sound produced by your own dog.
Collars are also more portable, so you can bring them anywhere you and your pets go.

Can You Control Who the Alpha Dog Is When You Own Two Dogs

Dog Lover — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 16:08:20 +0000

A dog owner named Beth writes:
Dear Mr. Katz,
I have two cocker spaniels that are one year apart. The red and white female (Cassie)is almost two and spayed. The buff male (Peanut) is just one 1 years old and neutered. Peanut was rescued from a cocker shelter in October of 1999. He is incredibly devoted, a very good listener and quick learner. He is the ideal dog as he is very eager to please. Cassie on the other hand is the most independent and stubborn dog I have ever encountered (you’ve probably seen worse). She used to only listen to commands when she wanted but I have put a stop to that. I have had numerous problems with her dominant tendencies but have come a long way. She now views me as the alpha and only displays aggression when she is in pain – specifically when I brush her. She has been diagnosed with allergies, is on allergy shots and has bad skin. This is not my problem though as I think I can work through this one with the use of the training collar.
ADAM INTERJECTS: It’s very difficult to correct pain-response aggression. It’s more of a reaction than anything else. Use the muzzle and restrain the dog when you need to give her shots. Other times (just so that she doesn’t build a negative association to the muzzle) put it on, take it off, and then give her a cookie. Do this at random times.
BETH CONTINUES: Cassie displays a lot of dominance aggression toward Peanut. She growls when he tries to pick up a bone near her and when they play (or fight) she will “hump” him. I always feed her first, give her treats first, pet her first but Peanut just doesn’t seem to get it. He will walk through the door before Cassie but after me. He is always one head length ahead of her when we walk outside. Further, I think he is trying to challenge her because the playing time more recently has turned into fighting. It’s more barking than anything — to date there has been no blood. However, Cassie usually is on top of him, pinning him to the ground, and he lets out this barking/yelping noise when she releases, he goes right after her again until I break it up.
She also displays the same aggression toward the cat. If the cat comes into her “area” when she is comfortable in front of the fire or if the cat even walks by one of her bones she goes crazy. She’ll chase the cat away with growling and quickly running after her.
ADAM INTERJECTS AGAIN: You can correct this behavior. She will learn not to chase the cat in the house.
BETH CONTINUES: So here’s the big question. What do I do? Do I continue to treat Cassie as the next in the pack? Do I let them fight it out? Do I continue to scold her for chasing the cat? HELP!
Any advice you can offer will be much appreciated. Your book is great by the way. . . .
Regards,
Beth
Dear Beth:
Thanks for the question.
There is ONE big point you’re not conceptualizing: You can only affect your relationship with each dog. You can be dominant to both dogs. Or you can be dominant to only one dog. Or you can be viewed as the Omega dog (the most submissive one) by both dogs.
However, you cannot control how your dogs view each other. This is a topic I’ve written about in past issues of my e-zine. I’m going to reprint it for your benefit:
A subscriber wrote: “Thanks, Adam. I think I found the answer. ‘We determine who will be the alpha dog. ‘ Correct? ”
My reply:
“No, no no! You cannot do this! It’s impossible!!!
The dogs’ temperaments are inherent. Only you can determine if you’re dominant to the other dogs, by being MORE DOMINANT. But you cannot work it out for them.
You can control the dogs’ behaviors and not allow any scuffles if you:
- are the alpha dog in the pack.
and
- you have voice control.
But as soon as you leave the dogs together– unsupervised– and go out for dinner. . . all bets are off. The dominant one will still be the dominant one.
Think of taking a group of four kids.
Kid#1 will grow up to be a Navy Seal, and then an Admiral.
Kid#2 will grow up to be a fierce criminal defense attorney.
Kid#3 will grow up to be a middle management executive for a large firm.
Kid#4: will grow up to be a peace activist and a socialist.
Now, when you leave the house every day for work, you may say, “Kid#4. . . you’re in charge. ” And as long as you’re around, Kid#4 may get the privileges of being the “so-called” top dog.
But as soon as you leave. . .
It’s going to be a given that kid#3 and kid#4 are going to be the bottom dogs, and kid #1 and kid#2 will scrap-it-out to see who is REALLY the “top dog. ” Their genetics (and to some extent, upbringing– depending upon their age) determines this. But it is the toughest kid who will become the group leader.
Even though kid #2 may be fairly tough in his own right, he will test kid#1. . . but will ultimately lose. . . as kid#1 is too tough.
Now, if kid#1 gets sick and has to stay in bed, then kid#2 becomes the new kid#1.
In other words, the “Alpha dog. ”
Until you get home. Then you’re the alpha dog, and he becomes the beta dog.
Get it?
Beth, as far as you’ve described your dogs’ interactions. . . it doesn’t sound to me like you’ve got a problem. It sounds just like play, or perhaps some dominance scuffles. However, without seeing the dogs in person it’s impossible to tell for sure.
That’s all for now, folks!
Adam

Is Your Dog a Whiner? How to Control Dog Whining and Give Your Ears a Rest

Dog Lover — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 16:08:06 +0000

So maybe your dog is the cutest, most adorable thing on four legs, but if he’s a whiner, cuteness can only get him (or her) so far. Before your patience runs out (and that of your neighbors’), you should learn how to control dog whining. But first, learn a few things about him. Why does my dog whine? Before you could control dog whining behavior, you should know the reason why your dog whines. Whining and similar sounds like barking and howling are just some of the ways your dog knows to communicate how he feels. This often happens when he is left on his own. You’ll notice this behavior in puppies that get separated from their mothers or litter-mates. It’s a distress call meant to tell his pack members that he is scared, in pain, upset or needs something. In your dog’s case, whining may be a way to communicate that he wants food, attention or affection. Whining may also be his way of saying that he doesn’t feel good, in which case you might want to check him right away. Whining is a good thing and if you love your dog, it’s your cue to make sure his needs are met and he’s happy and healthy to control dog whining. Unfortunately, whining can also be a way for your dog to get what he wants when he wants it. In this case, it becomes an unconscious habit – a bad habit. It can be heartbreaking or annoying, depending on the situation and you might want to control dog whining immediately to prevent a bad habit from forming. Here’s how: Read his ‘whining. ‘ If you just came back from work and he whines, that’s probably because your dog misses you and is glad to see you again. After a short while, he’ll stop whining since he knows you’re already home. If he’s whining and aiming for the door, it can mean he wants to be let out to relieve himself. If this is the case, to stop or control dog whining, make sure to let him out. If your dog is whining and seems upset, something might not be right, either with him or with your environment. He could be sick, in which case you’ll have to check him or bring him to the vet. He might also be worried about other things within his vicinity. To control dog whining, make sure you check the house because something might be up. When your dog wants your food. Your dog might be whining because he loves the smell of the juicy steak you’re eating and wants a piece. Stop this behavior from becoming a habit and train your dog to have his own place to eat, totally separate from your dinner table. If your dog is still a puppy, don’t feed him table scraps, especially when you’re eating at the table. He will associate your eating a meal with something good coming his way. Don’t encourage this. When your dog whines for your attention. Most dogs like attention from you but there are times when you just can’t oblige. In moments when you can, playing with your dog for a while might put a stop or control dog whining. If it doesn’t, learn to ignore his bid for attention and withdraw from him. Usually, ignoring your dog will do the trick. If he continues, however, tell him quietly but firmly to stop. Don’t touch or pet him when you’re reprimanding him and avoid massaging his neck or back. Giving him a massage means he’s doing a good job and will send mixed messages. If the whining continues, stand directly in his view and in a loud voice, firmly say, ‘No!’ You can also stop dog whining by firmly tapping his muzzle with your hand. Dogs are wonderful creatures whose companionship is valuable. Don’t punish your dog to control dog whining, unless you know he’s misbehaving. Punishment will not solve his problem and will only aggravate the negative feelings he has. Learn to ‘read’ your dog’s behavior to control dog whining and impose discipline only when it’s appropriate.

Dogs Must Communicate – But You Can Control Their Bark

Dog Lover — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 22:31:48 +0000

Dogs communicate with barks, and if your dog is barking, there is usually a reason for it. Dogs may hear something that we can’t, or they may just bark out of boredom, he may bark just to stay busy!
If you give your dog lots of exercise, toys, attention and have made your yard very interesting teaching him not to bark should be fairly simple.
Start his training with his collar and leash. If he barks, pull on the leash with a sharp jerk, and a firm ‘no’ will show him that his barking is wrong.
Graduate to the more advanced methods of training if it is necessary. Gradually a firm ‘no’ will be the only correction that is needed, and your neighbors will be lots happier!
If he barks only when you are not home, try leaving your radio on a chat station, this may convince him that you are there and keep him quiet.
If this fails, tape a normal family discussion one evening, (you will need a continuous play record to use this method). Every once in a while, throw in the word ‘no’.
When you leave, play the recording, it will remind him that there is always someone around, and that he isn’t supposed to bark.
If all else fails, pretend you are leaving the house for the time. Be very precise with your actions, even jingling the keys to make him think you have locked the door.
You will need to be a really good actor as dogs are very perceptive, and will pick up on it if you aren’t.
Have a cut lemon handy, when he begins to bark, open the door and say a sharp ‘no’, then put a drop of lemon or some other bitter liquid on his tongue. This will have to be done numerous times to get the point across to him. It takes time, but is well worth the effort.
A barking dog is a superb protection and an outstanding burglar alarm, but you need the ability to control the barking.
If you do not train your dog to bark only at the appropriate times (fire alarms, noise from the window and when approached by strangers), your neighbors are likely to resent your best friend, and you because you fail to control your dog.
If you are training your dog to be protection for you, teach him the guard command rather than speak. An intruder or someone who is threatening you will not know exactly how much your dog knows about protection and it is an excellent deterrent.
This skill does not mean that your dog will actually attack someone, but the barking can be an effective prevention for your safety both inside and outside your home.
To teach your dog to guard or speak, tie his lead to a fence or some other immovable item. Stand about 3 feet away and tease him with a toy or food, when he begins to bark, give him the reward.
Now put the food and toy away and change the treat to verbal praise when he begins to bark. The command guard or speak should be given as soon as the dog barks, the timing is essential here. By watching his body language, you can tell when he is ready to bark.
Once he becomes aware of the guard command, give the quiet command when he is barking; give the reward as soon as he is stops barking. If the barking continues, give the no command.
When he has successfully learned the command, move further away and continue the training, he needs to know and respond to these commands from any distance.
Once this training is successful, untie him from the fence and train him the commands guard and quiet.
You and your neighbors will appreciate this training when they have a peaceful night, and they will learn that if he is barking, there is something wrong.

Will a Bark Control Collar Stop My Dog From Barking if Someone Tries to Break In?
