Electric dog collar?!

[shantel palmer]

Please can somebody help! I have a jack Russell x, and I heard from a
neighbour that he was barking all afternoon whilst I was out yesterday. Has
anybody any advice on how this can be stopped? I have heard of dog collars
where they receive a warning when they bark, and if they carry on they get
gentle shock. Does anybody know where these can be bought?

Thanks in advance.

I once tried a collar which released citronella when my dog barked - it had
no effect whatsoever. (Though others may have had more success). This was
about 8 years ago, and I would never try it again, and would *never* condone
giving electric shocks to a dog. There are much better ways of *helping*
your dog instead of punishing it. Eg getting dog to accept being in another
room from you while you are at home, giving the dog very brief periods alone
and building up, giving toys (like the Buster cube and Kongs), ensuring that
you are seen as pack leader. Have you tried reading "The Dog Listener" by
Jan Fennell?

You probably know there is company in Ireland that supply PAC electronics
remote trainer devices for dogs (00 353 1 4925741)

These have audio as well as shock which is a nicer alternative.

I recommend it only as a last resort and take advice from qualified dog
trainers.
A little is a lot with these things.

With sheep and my collie it was nicer than a bullet in the head from a
farmer, it took a couple of goes and he is sorted.

Sad indictment on toady's society? Yes it is. But I have a sorted collie
whom I can love and enjoy in the country-side.

Seconded -

Jack Russells too are known for being vocal, a consideration maybe before
you take on a dog is what breed traits might be inherent & how these will
fit in to your lifestyle. If you are to be out for any major lengths of time
you technically are leaving (in doggy eyes) the role of house master to your
dog.

Torturing him will only confuse & distress him, where sound training will
help him understand the message you want to get across. I haven't read the
dog listener - though saw some of the programmes & totally agree with her
methods of communication.
