Well, I appreciate your concerns but I’ve had wonderful luck using the shock collar. I don’t plan on using it for discipline or punishment though so it’s pretty much out of the question for barking - at least until I do more research. Besides, if it’s good enough for the police and military, it’s good enough for my dog. She loves it, anyway. As soon as she hears the jangle of the clasps she goes nuts with excitement. A well-behaved/trained dog is a safe dog is an alive dog is a happy dog. I don’t agree that shock collars should be dismissed wholesale. But I know a lot of dog people feel that way. Hell, a Border Collie forum I’m on will ban you if you even mention it. Some people.
Anyway, thanks, but I’m still looking for advice and help. Noise machine doesn’t help. She’s got hearing like a dog
She’s hear through the noise machine.
I can’t be the only one whose dog does this around here, right?
(PS I’m only calling it a “shock collar” for shock value. My trainer would scold me all the time for calling it that. It’s an “eCollar” and you don’t shock them, you “stimulate” them lol)
