I am so glad you mention a wide variety of other ways to solve barking issues, before trying a collar. It is always best to try to make the dog as happy as possible to fix the behavioral issue. But like you said,sometimes that still does not work. Is it better then to train the dog or kill it? I am so glad you broached this important topic with information on how to humanely use a dog collar as a teaching aid.

As a former trainer, I had many people come to me who were about to be evicted from apartments because of barking complaints. <br /> <br />I offered these people training options, and were routinely told, "No! I couldn't do that! My dog wouldn't like it!"<br /><br />Only one person out of dozens opted for de-barking.<br /><br />A few agreed to do the work. A few of those actually did. The ones who 'followed the program' were mostly successful. <br /><br />Most simply took the dog to the pound or to the vet to have it killed out of hand. <br /><br />I would try everything I could think of to get these people to actually do something. But they would rather see their dog dead than trained. <br /><br />geonni bannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13698766164965033468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-88336732700749244782015-04-11T13:05:58.168-04:002015-04-11T13:05:58.168-04:00I would hesitate to use a Smell to discourage a do...I would hesitate to use a Smell to discourage a dog...<br />Dog noses are so Sensitive<br /><br />A shock is *over* --Done<br /><br />Smells tend to linger..
