Hi we are a family of a 7 month old beagle. We rescued him when he was 6 weeks old. He was only 2lbs when we got him, abused, under nourished and very sick. Well he is 18lbs now, very healthy and loves us and we love him to death. We have never had a dog before as I always knew the work would end up on me and as a mom of 4 children I knew it would be like having another child. Will it is……lol, but I LOVE him. My oldest son who is 16 has really bonded to him and he has become his primary owner. He is the one who baths him, brushes him, feeds, walks, trains etc. Our beagle loves my son so much and cries when he has to go to school out in the evenings. My son cannot even go to the bath room without the puppy sitting outside the door crying. He is “really” like a baby. If my son is sitting on the sofa with him, our puppy will climb up with a toy and then drop it on the floor so my son will pay him some attention and pick it up for him. Just like a baby right?
Anyway, I think because this puppy was taken away from his mother so young and being abused he has real separation anxiety issues. But we are dealing with this ok. He sleeps alone at night in a crate and is ok when we have to leave to go out, if we leave the TV on for noise. He is GREAT with our kids and kids in general, but BOY DOES HE BARK…………….
So this is my problem………. I know beagles are “barkers” and I am ok with this and having 4 children we are a noisy house anyway. He gets lots of exercise in the evenings when the kids are home and they take him for long walks and the kids LOVE to play with him. He is NOT an aggressive dog at all and loves people. So when we are out on a walk he will bark at EVERYTHING and EVERYBODY so very loud and you cannot get him to stop. Or if someone rings the door bell or knocks on the door, he is at it again with the barking. It is SO loud it actually hurts your ears.
I would like to learn how to train him to not bark so very much. I understand that he is a dog and a beagle and wants, actually needs to bark. But I was wondering if there was a way to control it so it does not go on so long. So if someone comes to the door he will bark for about a few seconds then stop.
I would LOVE to be able to send him to get “training” lessons from someone qualified, but unfortunately in this economy we cannot afford it. I was reading a lot about using an anti-bark or shock collar; has anyone ever used one? Any success with using them? Are they harmful to the dog? We will not use anything that will hurt our puppy and only want to be able to train him to be polite and well trained.
Any and all advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks…..
Just wanted to thank everyone for the great advice!!!!!

2 weeks ago I became the owner of a rescue dog, part shitsu part pamarainian (sp?) he is 3 years old, very sweet, loveable, wonderful personality, I love him, but his barking drives me INSANE. Do these collars really work?????
If you are the happy owner of a dog, you have certainly shared many pleasant moments with your pet. The unpleasant part of being a dog-owner comes when your family and neighbors are disturbed by the continuous and annoying barking of your best friend. Nobody can deny the fact that barking is a natural thing. If a stranger approaches and the dog barks in order to warn about the danger, that is its natural behavior and it deserves to be appreciated. If the dog barks because it is trying to communicate something to the master (perhaps it is hungry, sick or it wants to be taken out for a walk), this is also natural. However, a dog that barks constantly, at the slightest sound, is a great discomfort for everyone around it, especially if it happens during the late hours of the night, when most people are trying to rest.
You love your dog, but don’t want to spoil the relationships with the entire neighborhood for the sake of your animal friend. So what can be done about it? The only solution is to train the dog and teach it to bark only when something important is involved. However training takes long hours and a lot of patience. You probably haven’t got the time to go through it with your dog. In order to save time and energy, get your best friend a dog training collar. It has been proven that dog training collars are highly effective and they represent the fastest way to convince your dog to quit its annoying barking habits.
When you train an animal, it is important for the animal to understand what you want from it. The next step is to reward the animal when it is doing the right thing and punish it (of course, a symbolical punishment is enough, under no circumstances should the animal be submitted to violence) when it misbehaves. This is exactly how dog training collars function. When the dog is doing something that it shouldn’t do (for example, barking in excess, stealing things or running away) the dog training collar that the dog is wearing takes a corrective measure, which is different depending on the type of collar you choose to use. The corrective measure can be a very slight electrical shock, some ultrasonic sounds that are disturbing for the dog, a smell that the dog finds unpleasant (for example, Citronella scent) or a cold spray on the animal’s neck. What is essential is that the dog will quickly understand the connection between its misbehavior and the unpleasant consequences. Therefore, it will know what is required from it and will avoid such behavior in the future.
About the way a dog training collar detects the dog’s barking, you must know that there are many methods. Some dog training collars use microphones, while others are activated by the vibrations a dog’s vocal cords cause when it barks. A good dog training collar will be activated only by the barking of your dog and not by other environmental sounds, such as the barking of your neighbor’s dog. This is important, as you don’t want your dog to be “punished” without any reason; otherwise the poor animal will be confused and won’t know what you expect of it anymore. Actually, you mustn’t think of it as a punishment, as by no means will the dog be hurt, but as a reminder for the dog to behave correctly. When the dog stops barking, the effect of the collar immediately stops.
We can help you train your dog and get rid of the stressful barking during the night. Our dog training collars trigger a completely harmless cold spray on your dog’s neck when it misbehaves. The surprise will make the animal stop barking. Your dog will not be in any way hurt or affected by the dog training collar. In a short time, the dog will learn to control its barking and the dog training collar will no longer be necessary. When you want to stop the training, all you have to do is remove the collar. The positive effects will be noticed right away. You will enjoy a deserved good night’s sleep and so will your neighbours.

Has anyone used either this brand or a similar type of bark collar that sprays (as opposed to a shock one) ? (I have a 27 lb. beagle/italian greyhound mix/mutt)
Hi,
I need a quick solution to my dog’s barking. We just got her and we love her. We’re afraid our neighbor will complain because every time she hears a movement from across the hall, she incessantly barks.
I know training is the best way around it but I need a quick solution. We walk her throughout the day and i am also trying to get her to sit and other commands.
I will absolutely NOT use any shocking collars, sorry. If anyone has any suggestions, please help me out.
Thank you

Most of us have dogs that are little terrors at times. The electric dog training collar is not just for dogs who are in need of obedience training. It serves a variety of purposes, especially if you have a hunting dog. The electric collar of dog training for hunting dogs come with a number of features and help the owner during the hunting expedition.

The electric dog training collar comes with a lot of interesting features. One such feature is its ability to control several dogs at the same time during a hunting session. No one would like having different systems to control each dog. Operating the controls can be a difficult task especially if you have got around four to five dogs in the hunting trip. The electric collar of training dog saves you the trouble of having to go through such circumstances.
The multi-dog system in the electric dog training collar is very valuable as one unit can equip a maximum of six dogs. Pressing on the selector button can help choose the dog you want to stimulate. In addition to this great feature, stimulation levels can be varied depending on the dog you want. For instance, if one dog needs a high amount of stimulation, the appropriate button can be pressed on the unit of the electric dog training collar. If another dog wants lower stimulation, all you will have to do is switch between buttons.
A high quality electric dog training collar will come with good transmitters that will help you keep track of your dog even if it is two miles away from you. Trees and rocks could sometimes obstruct your view and also lessen the power of the transmitter. Fortunately, a high quality electric collar of dog training will have a transmitter that will keep track of your dog despite these obstructions.

My dog is a toy poodle and she barks like nuts anytime people come over. She likes people, but she will go crazy if she can’t run and jump on people (we keep her behind a baby gate because she gets aggressive when she finds stuff on the floor and you approach her–she will turn from a poodle into a pit bull and bite and bark and growl like a maniac!!!) Another reason why we need a bark collar. Anyways, can you find one that is that small? How much are they? Also, I am due in Feb, and if we can’t get her barking/agressive behavior under control, she will have to go. We’ve had her for 5 years–since she was a pup, and she is very sweet until you drop a sock or a piece of food accidently. Then she decides it’s hers. She has bitten my husband several times, so it’s impossible to spank her with your hand unless you want to loose a finger. Anyways, we want to break her of this–NOW. We’ve tried other methods, but none of them have worked.
We’ve tried “shh” and the can. She growls at the can, but great advice about the dog trainer! I’d NEVER thought of that! It’s fantastic–okay, now all I need is $800 bucks. Must be easy to get that kind of cash–you all have it. So, who wants to be the first to write me a check? No one? Really? Wow that is odd. Guess I don’t have hundreds of dollars lying around. It’s so easy to point fingers anonymously and crticise people, as if we haven’t been trying. I love how even though we love and care for our dog that we somehow wanted her to behave this way, and decided to raise her accordingly. I love how none of you have never had an aggresive dog. I love how you expect me to just run up to the vet and have our dog killed–the dog we adopted and vowed to love take care of like parents. (You know, becasue we want our dog dead.) This CAN be fixed. And as far as punishment goes, sometimes you HAVE to punish your dog, even if they ‘don’t like it.’ You are all worthless. Thanks for nothing.

I have a 5 1/2 lb Yorkie that likes to bark whenever he hears a noise. We live in an apartment that has a lot of kids in the building and they make noise all the time. I would like to find a collar or something that is ok for dogs as small as him that would help him stop barking so much. Any advice would be appreciated.
My dog has recently begun to howl like crazy. If I don’t find someway to make her be quiet at night, my dad will “get rid of her.” So I purchased an anti-barking collar that defers the dog from making noise by spraying her w/ this harmless stuff. It’s suppose to work for howling as well.
Problem is that it’s not spraying her. Yes, she’s pretty fluffy. But she can be loud and the sprayer isn’t even hitting her fur or doing anything it’s suppose to. I tried it myself (by giving multiple loud shouts & barks into the device), & nothing happened. The only time it seemed to spray was when you blew really hard into the device, which really doesn’t help anything.Does anyone know what’s wrong w/ it? It’s a petsafe deluxe kind, & it isn’t one of those cheap ones either. & I made sure it’s on as well when using it. Some people may say her fur may be the problem. However, the device said that you can put a bandana over the fur. But this is done so that the spray will actually hit her chin (& not for the sake of the device to pick up the sound & vibrations). & that still doesn’t explain why it didn’t work for me.
Any ideas as to what is going on?Also, do you know if those ultra high pitch frequency boxes work on loud animals? Or is there anything else that’s actually effective that you can recommend. Just FYI, my dog is not a small dog (she’s like medium husky or German Shepard size).
