Shock collar

Post by **Wes** » Tue May 02, 2006 1:05 am

Hey, anyone out there have any experience with using a shock collar to help a dog get over his barking issues? Maybe have one that you are not using I could borrow/buy kinda cheap? I have a dog who barks. Alot. I have been putting a muzzle on him, and try to keep him kinda out of the way while climbing, but that doesn't always work so well. I know some people might think it is kinda cruel, but if it keeps up, I will have to start thinking about not bringing him out, and that would be much worse, as he and his brother love to get out, maybe even more then me.

i put shock collars on my penis to arouse myself during anal sex with black men. it also seems to clear up the puss-oozing blisters.

I don't know anything about shock collars but I have successfully handled barking with reward training. This is something he finds completely natural though,as opposed to performing (as in SIT/STAY ), so it is important he realizes not doing it can be beneficial. I'm sure you have done this with him, it just may require more than usual a focused and consistant go. Give 'it', it's own command such as Quiet!, he may have too many definitions of NO accumulating in his head and during the praise/reward bit of the training the command follows the compliance. He's barking-distract him-praise and treat-QUITE!.
But then I realize some pups will have none of it! good luck

My best friend used a shock collar to keep her bishon frische from barking. It really worked until the other dog figured out that if he barked, she got shocked. He'd get pissed at her and run over to the collar and bark. But that's an unusual case.

Be careful though, there are some cars that could set it off and confuse your puppy. Happened to Jared's dad's yellow lab, Tucker. Now they have a hard time getting him to hop in the car.

beat the dog with a stick yelling "Bad Monkey" at the top of your lungs- repeat as needed
