Barking with no solution would be enough to drive you up a wall, and yes it would take a lot of the joy out of your pet relationship. The can of coins did work up to a point with Baxter but scared him to death and the noise ran me nuts. Had this not worked I'm not quite sure what I would have done. I feel for you... |
Actually I have hearing loss of at least 40%.. When I was 10 I was 80% deaf and with surgery I was almost normal then I started losing it again.
BUT, I have a serious sensitivity to very high pitch sounds. There was many years I couldn't do into the TV area's of stores. Now they are made differently, thank god! But I couldn't go near them because I could hear the high pitched sound they made. It hurt to the bones... It is just plain weird! lol
Anyhow, the dog repeller sometimes works, and works for other things but when they are all barking, forget about it. I still try
still use it..I am not one to totally give up, some things take longer. But I am just going to need a back up with these 3 dogs and as a training aid only.
I have collars (static shock) that have 4 levels and are used ONLY by remote control. Thet have never felt it when I have used levels 1 and 2 and sometimes even 3. It also has a button that only makes a beeping sound that gets their attention.
I press that first, and give the command "no bark" and they do not respond I then press #3 and repeat the command. The shock startles them and sometimes they yelp, but I can assure you, it's just cus it feels really weird! We have tested all levels on ourselves, me hubby and my son, and so we know exactly how it feels.
Anyhow, I rarely, if ever have to push anything except the sound button again after that. Even days later. And like I said before it is a training tool and only to be used until the dog obeys his commands without it. a lot of people think it shocks the crap out of them causing them pain like electrocuting them.
But it is a static shock, just like walking across a carpet and touching someone. But remember, the dog has fur so they feel it even less than we do on bare skin
I figured I had nothing to lose on the repeller and thought it would be easier to use. But honestly it's harder to train with this then it is with a collar. They just learn quicker with the collar.
My cockapoo Ripley, all I have to do is put the collar on him and he knows and will not bark when he has it on, take it off and he also knows he can now bark..LOL.. I only used it on him a few times. Like any training tool you have to use it until it works without having it on and I didn't do that with him.
anyhow i'll shut up now cus I talk to much
