The links that i attatched were both not for collars that shock dogs. My first post said that i was looking for something that will not hurt her. Both devices say it they produce a high pitch/frequency sound when the dog is barking. I think it has the same effect as the penny's in a tin can. It is meant to annoy her and make her stop.
These devices are battery operated and can be set anywhere. I dont think they hurt the dog in any way.
She starts barking for no reason except boredom. When i am home i am usually in my room. When i first get home i play with her and feed her. Then i am studying or something else that i need to do. Chewy spends most of her time in the living room with my parents. She brings all her toys there and plays. Then out of no where she drops the toy and starts growling/biting/barking at whoever is watching tv at that moment. She will NOT stop unless i come into the living room....spend 5 minutes chasing her to catch her and bring her back to my room.
We have tried distracting her with a toy...and this is very temporary. She stops for about a minute and then is right back into attacking.
As for making more time for her....this semester it just isnt possible for me.
I really wish we could do the puppy classes but i would only be able to go one day a week on a weekend and i cant practice with her 2-3 times a day. so i dont think it would be affective right now. Plus i dont have a car because i work in manhattan and live close to my college. So getting to training would be a problem for me right now as well.
Thank you for all the advice you guys gave me though. I will definately try the water bottle idea and the harness is very clever as well. It makes sense that that is what her mother would have done. I will try that tonight. |
