Dog Questions

Now that you have your crate, the other things that I would recommend to get before you start your puppy crate training are some toys, a mat for the bottom of the crate, an odor neutralizer (available at most pet stores) and some puppy treats. You want to buy some reliable toys to place in the kennel with your puppies so they feel more secure in the kennel. You should never put your puppy in the crate as a punishment because you want it to enjoy being in there.

Bark collars tend to be put on the back burner as an option when it comes to training a dog not to bark unless for particular reasons, and that is simply because many people don’t understand how they were designed to be used. In some cases, the dog owner just decides not to read the instructions and ends up not knowing how to use the collar properly, which may lead some people to believe that the collar doesn’t work when they don’t get the results they expected. Bark collars aren’t magical, and dog owners should understand how they work before they make their dogs wear them if they really want to get real results with them. Don’t forget that there are also plenty of options to choose from when it comes to different brands and models of available bark collars. The Types of Bark Collars Available Depending on the way they work and how they correct dogs when they bark, bark collars can belong to one of three categories. Consumers can choose from citronella versions, which are used to spray a small amount of citronella toward a dog once they have been barking for a prolonged (usually specified by the owner or preset into a particular model) period of time. Electronic based bark collars are the most known version of these kinds of collars and they also carry the brunt of reasoning why some people are afraid to use them. Instead of distracting the dog by exposing it to a new, strange smell, electrical shock collars deliver a mild static shock to the dog’s neck, similar to the one you receive when you play with fabric. In addition to these two types, there is yet another option you can consider; the ultrasonic collar. These collars work with the same principle as the citronella and shock collars, but their method of distraction consists of a high pitched sound instead of a spray or a shock. The pitch of the sound is so high that it can’t be detected by humans, leading some dog owners to believe that the collar is malfunctioning; however, dogs have no problem hearing the sound at all. Benefits of Using Bark Collars Unlike oral training, bark collars don’t need a trainer to be with the dog all the time to reinforce the idea that excessive barking is not allowed. In fact this has been found to be so successful that after just a few short months of using bark collars, many owners find that the dogs learn acceptable behavior and don’t need the use of the bark collar as much any longer.

Aggression in a dog is something, which an owner should not tolerate and should be dealt with as soon as the problem arises.  However, in order for an owner to find the right kind of dog aggression training they should be using to control this problem they need to understand the kinds of aggression that dogs suffer from.

There are some isolated older dog housetraining cases, where the cause of a breakdown in toilet habits is a psychological motivation, but results in a problem becoming medically motivated. One example might be the case where the dog seems to forget his housebreaking rules and urinates due to spite and jealously.
