Collar Bark
What are your thoughts on the “bark collar” and “shock collar” used for training a dog?”
My 7 mo old Lab puppy barks at night if she’s not in the room with me. We left her out of her crate one night and now she’s relentless in her determination. When I put her outside in her pen she barks for hours.
The neighbors and I are sleep deprived.
Also what bran of training devices should i purchase?
Let me tell you about my experience with electric collars. I use to think they were incredibly cruel, then I actually did some research on them and gave them a try and now I think they are a very valuable training tool. I don’t use them for every little thing and I don’t even use them on a high setting, but they work quickly and quite frankly I think they are more humane than continually getting frustrated with a stubborn dog. I have a dog that pulled on walks. It didn’t matter if we used a prong collar, a gentle leader, a harness, or whatever else, she pulled like crazy. After nearly losing my mind on walks with her, I used the electric collar. A few corrections on one of the lower settings and she now walks perfectly, with or without the collar on. To me. that seems much more humane than always jerking on the leash and potentially damaging her neck. When used correctly, they do not hurt the dog, they are a discomfort, not painful. I’ve since used it to cure many behaviors with my dogs such as chasing cats which is potentially dangerous. I only use them when I feel nothing else is working but I truly think when used correctly they are very humane training tools. Just like anything else, it’s the way it’s used that determines if it’s humane or not.
I have the Dogtra brand and it’s been great.
