out of curosity, what does a dog master look like, or what was used. Where can one find one? I'd love to ask our trainer about this type of training. Jennie |
It looks like a link bracelet with a small fork like charm. The noise it makes sounds different to a dog than to us, due to their hearing range being so much better than ours. This is why this method works so well. The brand name is DOG-MASTER. Mt trainers name is John Maurice and I can get you his phone number if you want to PM me. He will be able to tell you more details and exactly how it works, as well as maybe talk to your trainer. Tonight I had Lexie coming on command without even using it- just by my voice!!! She loves to bark at my rabbit also. Tonight when she started to bark at her, I clinked the bracelet in my hand, and Lexie went away from the cage and stopped barking- it is a miracle!! |
Magneticgal, I'm not going to argue with you. As I said, it sounds much less benign than other aversives. |
PS. I'm sorry that I offended you. |

Extremely close to barkbusters training Quote:
I just had to say this is extremely close to barkbusters. Their "tone" is a chain that rattles like coins in a can would. It's encased in fabric so they don't know what it is, but it supposed to get their attention and distract them also. Sounds so much like barkbusters. Good luck. Zoie did good bith BB, but after a few weeks we weren't reinforcing it all the time and she thought she was back in control, so, keep doing the things your trainer tells you to, it's so important. :-) Let us know how it continues to go. It's so good to hear your dog reacted so well and you are so relieved! |
She needs help Hey magneticgal, you might want to check out FrannieQ's post. She's having a terrible time with her baby and it sounds like you may have the answer for her. :) :) |
I wanted to post another update, as I have had about 5 training sessions now. I am SO PROUD to say that Lexie now comes on command EVERY time I call, she will STAY until I release her, she no longer attacks my vaccum cleaner, she no longer goes after my bunny rabbit. We are starting to work on people coming to the house so that she doesn't go biserk and attack:eek: . It is a TON of work and consistancy is the key. BUT it is paying off huge for me! If anyone needs any more information on this, please write me. It is a fairly easy method to learn , although you have to practice, practice, practice, it does pay off BIG TIME!! |
Excellent! So glad it's working for you. How's Lexie doing with her aggressiveness? |
Hi!! We are working thorugh one issue at a time. The trainer thinks that her aggressiveness is because she is afraid, which I had never thought of. When I take her into stores, I always carry her. He told me to put her down, that way if someone approaches her, she can back up if she wants. In my arms, there is no where for her to go, so she lashes out to keep them away. Makes sense, but I never thought of it that way. I tried it last night at Pet Supplies Plus, and when approached, she backed up, but did not growl or try to bite.:thumbup: I told the person to stay there and let Lex approach HER. It seemed to work. I am still leery for while and we have a ways to go, but we are making fantastic strides from where we were a month or so ago!! Thanks for asking!! |
Any fear based method is a huge no no for me and that's exactly what this is any way you look at it. For a dog that is strong willed or isn't bothered by much, you'd have no luck. Like I've said in the past, an actual correction and praise-just training a dog w/ a leash and collar isn't for everyone. Call me old fashioned w/ a new twist if you will. ;) But I'm glad you enjoy the results your getting. :thumbup: |

I am glad to know that your way is obviously the best!! Actually if you want to get "technical" I am doing the correction-praise thing!! Yanking on their collar isn't exactly a nice method in my opinion and THAT is a HUGE no-no for ME!! (collapsed tracheas,herniated discs) Call me medically cautious if you will:) This does not harm them in any way, which I cannot say about your particular method. I am glad your methods work for you. |
