I need a shock collar-not for the wife!!

[v6toy4x]

The wife and kids insisted on a new dog about 6 months ago, but as expected once the newness has worn off, the little shit is a problem.

Barking continuously at night and climbing the fence on the neighbor. So its either things get under control or the dog is gone.

I need a shock collar recommendation. Whatcha got?

I threaten to use them on employees. The dog is good and doesn’t need it.

Look at an Educator or Educator mini depending on the size of the dog. I use the mini for training a 55 lbs dog. I think i got it on Amazon. It can go up to 100, but I have mine set at 40.

My wife didn't want a collar for our dog, but it was a collar or the dog was going to be gone.

After a few times using it, I rarely use the shock function. Most of the time, just putting the collar on the dog changes his whole demeanor.

My dad always used the rolled up newspaper trick for “training”. Sounded worse than it felt was what he always said. . Worked well except on our Jack Russell. We tried wireless fence, shock collars, newspaper, sticks, brooms. Dog was a runner and a tyrant. I finally put in a dog door and let him come and go on his schedule. Never jumped the fence again. Stopped digging up the garden. Stubborn SOB.

Shock collars are used for training not discipline.

Unless you are going use it to train the dog you are wasting your time and could actually abuse the dog, which I doubt you want to do.

Look at some professional training videos, spend the time to train the dog and enjoy all that “mans best friend“ can offer.

throwing a collar on him will not solve the problem, with your interaction and a collar as an aid you can correct bad behavior. but you have to be engaged.

the collar will not solve your problem.

Have you done any training? Any work on bad behavior adjustment? How about crate training? How much exercise? Put some onus on the kids and wife if they were the drivers behind getting the dog. Don't let the dog down by your not helping it.

All good info, we inherited a 6 yr old mini schnauzer from my mother he was basically a couch potato, no outside interaction, no socialization.

At first I was very frustrated, but with some basic energy I realized he was very smart and motivated.

we have a 100% indoor cat, within a year him and the cat are sharing the same space,

with a little help from a vibration collar, he has calmed when seeing other dogs on a walk ( he had never been on a leash in 6 years Now dies to go for a walk)

with your direction and some coaxing from a vibration collar it can be corrected,

But the collar will not solve the problem

Spend some time with the pup basic obedience then put a e collar on set to vibration just a reminder to pup

Been this route

Had a choc lab that was out of control..... friendly out of control

Took her to training (tried to teach me how to train her.) After the 3 or 4 class, the dog was a dunce. The trainer brought out a collar and taught me how to use it.

As said above, use it for training... You've got to commit a lot of time and patience. My collar came with 2 collars. A dummy and the real thing.

The dummy is used for periods to get her used to having this thing around her neck. The real collar is used during training. The idea is she doesn't relate every time the collar is on she gets shocked.

This dog was a runner, especially when kids in the neighborhood were playing outside.

First time I shocked her she took off chasing after the neighbor kid on his bike. Playful not aggressive. I whistled twice, no response so gave her a shock. She immediately turned around and ran to me, as if she was looking for protection. So now I'm the safe zone.

It wasn't easy.... I tried to keep the dummy collar on as much as possible. The real collar had an antenna. People would see it and ask what it was. I'd tell them it's a walkman...lol.

After some time she did relate wearing the collar, dummy or real, to getting a shock. It got to the point I kept the dummy on very often and she'd be on her best, but definitely saw she was nervous when wearing it. Hated doing it but felt like I had to.

People will think you're cruel but if it keeps the dog from running into traffic you've got a good argument.

Seek the advice of trainers and try what works for you.

Puppies are a commitment, they take a lot of training, e-collars are a great training "aid" but should not be used soley as a discipline method...If you have a puppy and just throw it in the backyard and expect it not to bark and act a fool then you should probably just try to find a new home for it now...

My Malta Poo has a shock collar. It has been used in shock mode twice. Both times she’s was heading either down the street or once camping toward a moving vehicle and ignored our calling her back. She also has a habit of incessantly barking at people she knows who come to our house. All we do do now is take the collar out of the drawer and set it on the counter and she stops immediately.

 

[Rajobigguy]

Years ago the boss brought one of those shock collars to work and I convinced him that he needed to try it on so that he understood what the dog would feel. He put it on and I told him know make a bark noise , nothing happened and I encouraged him to go louder. After a couple of try's he final hit the threshold and zap, followed by loud OUCH which triggered another zap followed by a series of expletives' each being rewarded by another zap . It was hilarious.

 

[SKIDMARC]

Too much work, get rid of the dog. LOL

Joking aside (kind of) this is exactly why I do not want another dog.

H.O.P.E. helping our pets education. dog training centers
Www.norcodogtraining.com If your close by Norco. This facility is a Hope center and is excellent for dog training. Darcy and Emily are the proprietors and are excellent at it and are very nice, respectful people. Their whole staff are really great people which is a reflection of them. If anybody near the area needs day care, boarding and/or training for them and their pup this your solution. @t&y can vouch for them too. I've referred many people here with great results.
We adopted a 1yr old pit bull 5 yrs ago. He was 60# then, he's 95# now. He was a good dog but completely untrained, full of energy and separation anxiety too. I had to take him everywhere with me to manage it. We took him to Darcy for 2 weeks for boot camp while we went on vacation in Hawaii. Came back to receive a much calmer, trained dog and his sep. Anxiety was significantly improved. They trained us further on how to best lead him and manage his anxiety and he's been the best dog ever since then. We constantly get compliments on what good dog he is. We have to learn how to lead them and protect them just as we do children, employees etc. If we don't lead the dog, they will lead us and they don't make good leaders. A well trained dog is happier and more calm....just like children.
Good luck with your pup.

Do you mean after you get thru the kitten stage and de-clawing them? Kittens/cats are no picnic when they're in that life stage.....and you can't even train them.
They are pretty cool and amazing animals once you get beyond that stage though.

This is Ollie. He's eight months old, and following Zoom's example. I woke him up for the photo.
