| Do Bark Collars Actually Work? | | My dog barks a lot. And she barks loud. I just moved into my mom's house which is connected to another house I am afraid that the neighbors will get fed up with all of her barking. If anybody has tried the bark collar please let me know if it worked for you or not. Or what your thoughts on this is. | |
| | How to train them naturally without the use of Bark Collars. | | I have a yappy Shih_Tzu whom I love to bits. The thoughts of putting any sort of Collar on her to stop her barking, well seems too mean. I know some people use them and swear by them for training, but I couldn't do that. Neither could I use the Citronella ones. So I was wondering if anyone has advice on a natural way to stop the barking. She is fine if I am in the room. All I have to say is her name and she will stop. However, there is a field of cows next to my home and my dog will sit in the window for hours on end. So...blocking this window should fix the problem right? WRONG. Then she goes to the front door and barks and barks and barks at the door. I might add too..she is MUCH quicker then I am and if she happens to get out the door when the kids open it..out she goes..down the lane, under the electric fence and torments these cows just barking and barking at them! Help...my Shih_Tzu is a cow tormenter! | |

| Beagles are a mixed bag. | | Ever since I was a child watching the Peanuts cartoons, I've wanted a beagle. My first two dogs were golden retrievers, which are really great dogs. They are loving and very easy to train. Then I got a beagle. It took my golden retriever about 2 weeks to be house broken, but it took the beagle over a year. If there were food around all the time, he'd never stop eating. He's like a human vacuum cleaner. And the barking and howling. I swear, he can hear someone 4 blocks away and starts to bark. I've tried two different bark collars, neither of them worked. But, he's totally worth it. He's a great dog and totally devoted to me. He does this cute thing when I crawl into bed each night by cuddling up to me and tucking his head up under my chin. I'm not sure why he does it, but I love it. | |
| | which type of dog collar do you use for your dogs | | The Spray anti-bark collars seem to be the friendlier dog bark collars available today. It offers a short term effect in stopping a dog’s barking problem. It is very suitable for dogs which are at least 6 months old and weighing at least 5 lbs measurement. Spray anti-bark collars are considered the most suitable for dogs who bark unnecessarily and you don’t have to be scared that your little puppies will be hurt, the electronic bark collar on the other hand is mostly used on bigger and more difficult-to-control dogs. It is a shock bark collar which act as a receiver which passes an electric shock stimulation into the neck of the dog through some two probes that are connected to the dog’s skin. Many dog owners use this type of collar on stubborn dogs and they attest to the fact that it is the most successful way of controlling their dogs. | |

| | My one-year old chihuahua doesn't bark..is that normal? | | Ever since I got our chihuahua when she was two months old..she doesn't bark like other normal dogs would usually do if there are strangers. She is turning one today and I only heard her bark once or twice. I actually like it that she doesn't bark but I'm just worried that if a stranger comes and take her or something she wouldn't even bark and give us a warning.She is so sweet to everyone that comes to our apartment. Have you encountered dogs who don't bark? Please let me know what you think.Thanks! | |

My dog, spike - a nine month old Labrador Retriever with a kind of golden brown coat used to bark at dogs when it was about 6-8 months old!

| Have you ever heard of an Anti-bark Collar? | | I got an email from Kmart yeasturday about how for one day you could get 40% off your online purchase..well..while browsing through I went to the pet supplies and there it was. An anti bark collar. Hmm..so I read the product description and it basically shocks them after they get a warning beep. Now I have known some dogs in the neighborhood that I have thought needed a good shock..lol..but I am a bit torn about this product because that was in the middle of the night without much rest. Help me decide. What do you think about this collar? Is it a good training method or do you think it is cruel? | |
