Because people buy them....and then use them...when talking to the trainer and pet store owners locally they were all actually against them! But they sell them, because people demand them,
you wouldn't believe me if I told you their versions of how many people want to return them because they don't work (non-defective ones that function properly but didn't do the training job the person wanted) and the trainer has taken them from people explaining how they are supposed to be used and that they don't actually work-
the bark ones are much more effective (I'm being fair here) than the push button ones (some people call that training!) and fence boundary ones according to them.

I love Tibbe barking at suspicious noises as I read that burglars tend not to even try to break into houses with barking dogs. He definitely gets praised for that kind of barking but when I got him, he was pretty wild, scared and barked at everything. He'd wake me at night screaming at everything. I was a wreck till he began to respond to domestication and some training. But Tibbe LOVES learning what you want and doing it. He gets this look in his eye as he cocks his head and sticks out his chest that says, "See? Aren't I smart - I did it! Next!" He really does stick out his chest after doing what you ask him to do. Sits up with his head drawn back and somehow gets that chest out as far forward as possible and he goes it with gusto. He doesn't do that any other time - just after doing what I ask. |
