Barking Dog - Part 2

[DaviDC.]

How, pray tell, does someone spend time with their dog while away at work during the day? Might be time to adjust the medication again, big guy.

Great follow-up. You sound like a good neighbor to me!

Another fusking idiot that doesn't get it.

BGnR..... a dog doesn't have to bark any more than a kid has to throw tantrums. The bark collar QUICKLY teaches the dog not to bark. He doesn't bark, he doesn't get the shock or the alarm. It's not like you are subjecting the animal to constant pain. He learns acceptable behaviour the same as when you discipline a child for unacceptable behaviour.

We don't allow sexual perverts to act on their "urges", so why allow a dog to disrupt an entire household or neighborhood with it's urge to bark. Control is the key. He doesn't bark, then he gets to live a life of ease, eating, sleeping, romping in the back yard and enjoying time with the family.

My adult son had to do the same thing with his Jack Russell terrier and it worked beautifully.

I was wondering about that little "work" thing myself. It's usually not voluntary...

[CJsNvrUrly]

Sounds like a great plan, earache. I'm glad you're working it out.

[Mr645]

Typically after he learns what the collar does, simply showing it to him or putting it on should stop his barking.

I still prefer the shock collar over the audio one. I mean do you know how many hours of entertainment you can get by watching your dog jump when the collar is up on full power? My dog finally chewed threw the extention cord that connected him collar to the wall outlet. So now he just drags a car battery around the back yard

Mr645... You are hilarious... tongue in cheek, I'm sure.

[OWC Jamie]

Sounds like he learned that his incessant barking eventually got you home and ended his loneliness/whatever.
Hope the collar un-learns it.

Is he loose and not tied ? (some dogs /most?/ don't like being tied.)

Your neighbor should be happy you're at least trying something.

Train the fsking dog ownerz of the world. The only way.

I wish I had a neighbor like you who gave a dammm about
noise polution from dogs and I commend your method.
I doubt your collar causes any damage to the dogs' ears (the company who sold it would likely be sued) and if the dog
learns to modify their behavior, there is no problem for the
dog or the neighbor (win-win). I have moron neighbors who
have a doberman and I once wrote a note to them with no
results. My direct feeling is screw the dog, if you can modify
it's behavior without long-term harm more power to you. I don't even like to go into my own back yard.
