www.sitmeanssit.com Practicing a beginning fun bark and hold with a puppy. Having your dog be able to bark on command is a great way to start to cue him to be able to do it in other areas. Some pet dog owners like their dogs to bark at the door to let people know there is a dog in the house and for a variety of other reasons besides just for police or protection dog use.
This shows some progressions that were made in teaching a dog to maintain contact with a person and still bark. This was done only for demonstration purposes in showing that you could put any behavior anywhere that you want off-leash and using the Sit Means Sit remote dog training collar. Bite and bark on command are shown in this clip. For more information on the Sit Means Sit collar please see: www.sitmeanssit.com Fred Hassen and ‘Nash’ are in this police dog demonstration video

Once a dog owner identifies what makes their dog bark, it creates an opportunity to teach a dog to bark on command.

The use of electronic training devices has become increasingly widespread. In 2006 pet owners worldwide purchased more than 500,000 remote training collars, over 1,000,000 containment systems, and almost 900,000 bark collars.
Why the popularity? These training systems have become much more affordable, and pet owners are finding them to be a safe, effective means for controlling the various behaviors that they find unacceptable.
As sales of these products increase, so do the not so favorable opinions about them — that they make dogs aggressive, that there is a greater chance of failure than success when using them, that the shock they deliver is painful, that they will result in significant injury to your pet.
These can all be classified as “myths”, since there is very little hard data available to prove or disprove them. However, recent studies are providing results that allow for a more reasoned analysis of this technology.
Last year, one of the major manufacturers of electronic training products retained an independent laboratory to compare the level of correction produced by a pet containment system receiver to the shock produced by other common circumstances and devices. The evaluation demonstrated that the “shock” produced by a containment system is nowhere near the intensity that some people believe.
The “shock” produced by the containment system is nearly 40% less that than that one would receive from walking on carpet. (Please note that static shock will vary greatly depending on the relative humidity: the lower the humidity, the higher the shock.)
Further, this study demonstrates that the training “shock” is one-fourth the level of a cattle fence and one-twentieth the level of a stun gun, two devices to which electronic training equipment is often unfairly compared.
But even this study tells only half the story. It compared the voltage put out by these devices…the intensity. You also need to consider the duration. Reputable brands of electronic training equipment correct for only a short period of time. The brand that has the UL mark of approval on its receiver features a correction that lasts only 1/40 of a second — less time than it takes the average person to snap their fingers.
But what this study does demonstrate is that not all “shock” is the same. And that the correction in question is not “painful,” “powerful” or even “uncomfortable.” “Surprising” maybe, but none of the above.
Still, every animal will react differently to the correction. So you should always approach a training situation with caution when using this kind of equipment. As is usually the case, education is the answer. When you are training a pet, you need to have as much information as possible…and a behavior management plan to support you, as you would with traditional training techniques. When looking at selecting a product select one that provides you with both instructional manuals and videos.
If you choose a product that supplies you with these necessary educational materials you will greatly increase your chances of success when attempting to improve your dog’s behavior. To help demonstrate this fact let’s look at a survey that was recently completed by a leading manufacturer of electronic training equipment.
This company surveyed 1,025 dog owners that had been using one of three types of electronic training equipment (remote training collar, bark control collar or containment system) for a period of not less than 90 days.
The most significant findings came as the result of asking the pet owner the following question, “Since using the electronic training product how would you describe your pet’s overall behavior?” The owner was asked to respond with one of the following: a) better behaved (and specifically how), b) no change in behavior or c) worse behaved (and specifically how).
The results are staggering. Slightly over 2/3 (860 of 1,025 dog owners) responded that their dogs overall behavior had in fact improved since using the electronic equipment.
Reasons that these dogs would show an overall improvement in their behavior would include that the owners used the equipment correctly. Correct use includes spending a significant amount of time working with and socializing with your dog. When a dog receives an increase in time and attention, his behavior will usually change for the better.
This survey also helps to dispel another myth about the use of electronic training equipment – that it causes dogs to act aggressive. None of the dog owners surveyed purchased the equipment for the purpose of eliminating aggressive behavior. However, approximately 12% stated that another positive side effect of using the equipment was that their dog no longer exhibited occasional aggressive behavior that had been seen in the past. Also, of those owners stating that their dogs behavior worsened in some way since using the equipment, none reported the worsening being in the form of aggressive behavior.

I don’t like cruelty to animals, but my dog won’t stop barking 
He barks at strangers. When people come to our house, you starts randomly barking at them.
We were wondering how badly the bark collar hurt, so my friend tried it against his own neck. Check out my dog making sure he’s OK.
My new dog was adopted today. A little sweetheart. Perhaps a little too sweet. Everytime he’s left alone, even when I go on the front porch for a smoke, he starts whining and howling.
I Know that there are anti-bark collars available, but do that work for howling? Whining isn’t so bad cuz the neihbours can’t hear it, but the howling will be a problem.
I dont want to use the shock collars, but I’ve heard about citronella collars that might work. They spray citronella in front of the dogs face when they bark, so it doesn’t hurt them, just bugs them a bit. But I want to make sure it’ll work for howling.
So do they work for howling, and where’s the cheapest one I can get online? The place to find one is just as imporant to me as knowing if they work.
THANKS!!!
Hi!
I have a 3 month old Lab puppy who sometimes barks alot – even if we have just played or taken her out for a good walk. It’s not like we arent doing something about it. Any suggestions on how to stop her from barking without any reason?
Thanks!
PS. I really dont like Anti-Bark collars, so please dont suggest that ^_^
My first experiment with the new anti-bark collar
www.acedogsupplies.com.au The Sportdog no bark 18 offers 18 levels of static correction over three levels of operation. The key feature of this unit has to be its ability to accurately detect your dogs bark. It uses both a vibration sensor as well as a microphone to detect a bark. This ensures that only your dogs bark will trigger the static correction.
