Preface
My dog is a blue meteorite border animal husbandry, his pet name is Doggy, and he is now one year old. Dogs like to call this is the dog's nature, deep gene blood inside the memory. Dogs don't speak like people to express their emotions. They can only express their emotions by barking. They should bark when they are excited, when they want food, when they want you to play with them, when strangers approach them, when they feel dangerous or frightened... So this behavior this makes a lot of dog dad and mom are very headache. Share your past experience here.
In fact, it is good for a dog not to bark since he was a child, because he does not know what effect barking has. But if you play with other dogs, the barking behavior of other dogs will imitate each other's barking behavior by barking to attract each other's attention to play. At this time, it has to be corrected again, because it already understands the function of this barking, and we need to tell it that barking is wrong.
1. Understand why dogs bark
It has been said before that there are many reasons for barking, excitement, attention, playing with, feeling dangerous, physical discomfort, etc. As a master, you need to understand clearly before you can prescribe the right medicine. You cannot blame the dog as soon as he bark. For example, if you want to attract attention to the barking of playing, you should stop it, because this demand dog is more frequent and barking all the time is quite disturbing. However, if you feel dangerous, if someone knocks on the door, you can not stop it. It is reminding the owner that there are strangers to invade the house (different opinions in this respect).
Directly set a bark stop this practice is the most undesirable.
2. Ways of stopping
① Verbal warning
This is the most common way, but also the most useless way. How do you make verbal warnings work? Here I am more advocating deterrence education. Dogs are evolved from wolves and belong to social animals. One of the characteristics of these animals is to follow the concept of hierarchy and have the concept of a wolf (leader). As the head wolf, I need to be the strongest against all the wolves below. My orders are unshakable and force can be used when appropriate. Through the cooperation of violent tools and verbal warnings, such deterrence and execution will be greatly improved. (Just as the state also has violent organs, such as public security, through such violent organs can the first deterrent effect on criminals)
② Large coke bottle with small stones
Dogs can't be beaten with sticks, etc., because it is not easy to control the strength and will hurt them (I have a friend who beat the dog to a broken leg for surgery, which really does more harm than good). Can you hit it with your hands? Of course not. It doesn't matter if the dog thinks you are the leader. If he thinks you are only a little higher than his level and annoy him, he will return his teeth...
So we have this prop, find a big coke bottle, drink the drinks inside (local tyrants can pour them out), find two or three stones to put in, then the coke bottle will shake loudly.
The coke bottle won't hurt no matter how hard it is played. The main thing is to deter it by passing the sound of its playing. It can't be called without being played. It is used to memorize and associate with the command. Dogs will be pretty scared of this stuff. Then in the middle, when the dog barks, you can knock on the coke bottle, and it will know that it is afraid and stop barking. After a period of time, you can discard the coke bottle and stop it with only a verbal warning.
③ Dam
Perhaps because my dog is too smart (border animal husbandry), the Coke bottle has no effect (it will not apply when I grow up). Cause I can't stop it outside, at home. Especially when the dog is excited and his attention is not with you, he cannot stop it at all. Later, I found many ways and found that the electric shock device is the most suitable, waterproof, manual remote control, electric shock, vibration and sound, which is simply tailor-made for me!
E pet here also has a similar, function is also very complete (need to pick up excrement officer can buy). Here, I 'd like to talk about how to correct it with an electric actuator.
First of all, of course, the bark stop and the remote control are fully charged, and then put on the darling dog (darling??). When wearing, make sure that the metal is against the neck, but not too tight.
There are usually three options on the remote control, such as electric shock, vibration and sound. Among them, electric shock and vibration can be adjusted in size. It is recommended to set the minimum electric shock at the beginning and adjust it appropriately when in use.
When the dog has incorrect barking behavior, as the owner, he should directly use electricity and cooperate with the oral stop instruction to make it understand that it is wrong. After the dog stops barking completely, you can fish for law enforcement, let it bark, and then continue to electricity. From then on, the dog will be very afraid of this thing (the pain of the electric motor is just like that of the lighter, it suddenly hurts, and then it doesn't hurt the dog).
After three or five times of electricity, it is actually possible to use no electricity (I only used electricity five times in total), and it can be changed to the sound warning of the remote control. Why is it recommended to use sound warning? Because the remote control is actually not every time response, may be the first time to press no response, vibration words have no vibration themselves are not clear, but the sound dogs and people know. When the sound sounds from under the neck, the dog will naturally think of the pain from under the neck. So the follow-up can use sound.
It is emphasized here that this function of electric shock is a punishment function and cannot be used more than once. It can only be used when the warning is invalid. Although the electric shock strength can be adjusted, I have always only used the lowest level 1 (there are 100 levels that can be adjusted). In fact, as long as the electric shock, the dog can make a painful sound. Remember, when the dog is afraid of dodging, it can no longer use electric shock and warning. At this time, as the owner, he needs to hold the dog in the past to appease him, otherwise the dog will become more and more timid and counterproductive.
The prop can be used not only to stop barking, but also as a trainer. For example, when you go out for a walk, you can give a warning if you want to pick up something to eat on the ground. It's much more effective than listening to the sound and automatically stopping barking. Another example is the function. When I took it camping for the first time, people and dogs actually felt uneasy. Because the environment was unfamiliar, the function of the bark stopper became obvious at this time. It was forbidden to move and bark.
3. Summary
This is the experience of fighting wits and bravery with this border herd in the past year. In fact, if the dog is not cunning, it can not use a stun, but it is a border herd and there is no way out. In fact, it is quite good to train the dog through the electric demotor. The obedience is high and the photos are beautiful.
