How does a dog shock collar work? because my husband says we have to get one for both our dogs. I was sad to hear this but the problems is that my dogs bark all night at anything they hear. In particular ambulances, and other dogs walking by. During the day the problem is even worste- Can someone help me?
Answer
By shocking your dog on a very sensitive part of their body, making them fear you.
You do not have to get one for both of your dogs.
These methods - and the use of shock collars - are dangerous methods of "training" and are not effective.
There is no reason to use these methods.
They are just as bad as those fences.
I agree with professional [positive reinforcement] trainer Victoria Stilwell and the points she has made about electric dog fences.
I also agree with her on her stance for shock collars as a training method.
" * Using shock to train dogs. "Many dogs are anxious about going out in their yards after receiving the shock and freak out,â not wanting to go out in the yard again.
* The electronic fence is dangerous. "Countless dogs run through the electric fences and they get shocked so badly that they don't want to come back. . . lots of them are getting lost."
* "A lot of dogs are getting killed because they go out onto the road" after running through the fence.
* Electronic containment systems do not stop other animals and people coming onto the property.
* "People leave their animals out with a false sense of security."

Also dogs bark for numerous reasons! Mostly boredom and lack of attention by owners.

So I beg you DO NOT use shock collars, or electric/invisible fences, as a way to train your dog. Be RESPONSIBLE and do your RESEARCH about what damage they can do to your dog.
Use positive reinforcement training - it is most effective and not cruel.

My dog is 3 1/2 months old. He already knows basic skill like sit, and lay down, etc. But there is one thing that he does that is VERY embarrassing! He jumps up on EVERYONE. Anytime someone comes over he jumps up at them, just to get their attention but I hate it!! I've tried to make him stop by making sure to correct this every time he does it. I have even made my guests squat down to his level and pet him but as soon as they stand back him, he's jumping again! I have put him in his kennel to take him out of the situation for about 5 minutes but then as soon as he comes back he's jumping again! I have even left him on his leash when people come over so I can pull him back to correct him but that doesn't even seem to work! If anyone knows anything I can do! Please please please.. I want this bad habit to be over!
Answer
You should watch the show "it's me or the Dog". Victoria Stillwell is a dog trainer who uses positive reinforcement to train dogs. This is a big problem for lots of dogs because it's on nearly every episode. Before your guests come in, you should have your dog in a sit stay. If he jumps up on peopple, they should cross their arns across their chests and turn their back on the dog while you use a tasty treat to get him back in a sit stay position. If he jumps up, they need to turn their back. If he stays down he gets a treat. He will get the connection pretty soon.You could also supply your guest with tasty treats and can give them if the dog sits and stays.
