I'm thinking about getting a remote controlled static collar, but I'm worried about getting the wrong kind. He's only 4.5 lb. and I don't want to hurt him. I just want to startle him when he's doing something wrong and doesn't listen to "no". I'm looking for a collar that will pick up the signal from a distance and is small enough to fit his tiny neck.
If anyone has had any positive experience with a particular kind, I would very much appreciate the advice. |
I wouldn't want to be shocked whenever I do something that displeases someone, would you?? I have always had dogs to love, and shocking them, to me isn't love. Patience and perserverance on the part of the owner is key to the dog's behaviour. I have a very
headstrong and at times, wild female Yorkie. BUT at three years old, she is beginning to
listen and obey. She has also become more loving than ever since she has calmed down.
One thing we did to give her an outlet for her energy is create a fenced yard inside our big fenced yard just for her to run free...chase lizards and birds and squirrels. Its helped
immensely.
