    Shock Collars

    Sorry Liz, didnt see that, lol :D He barks a little bit after he is put in there, then after telling him QUIET, he sleeps then early in the morning at like 8:00, he barks to get out. Now lately he has only barked a little when he is put in, but in the morning he has been quiet!

    Shock Collars

    I DO, want to change the situation, but as of now its not bad anymore, he isnt barking and its not cold out. When it WAS cold and barking alot I tryed hard with my parents trying to convince them, you people just DONT get it, and no matter what I say you wont, so I'm about done with this post...

    Shock Collars

    Well about having him inside most of the time, that is my hard work there, I just let him in and my parents have learned to live with it I guess, and if he either lays there or I'm training him he stays in, he does however get hot so then he goes out for 5mn, then back in. My parents dont...

    Shock Collars

    Ok, you people are making it worse then it is, that was a one time thing and I do NOT think its right, and thats why we HAD to get the shock collar, I tryed to talk to my parents about NOT getting it but they are the adults, if we didnt get it my dad would have taken the dog to the pound, now I...

    chasing cars:

    Well I dont know if you can totally get RID of the instinct but you can give him an alternate behavior to do when a car passes. My dog Rosco has/had that problem and he is getting better about it and what I do is when a car is comming I move to the side of the road with him then tell him to sit...

    Shock Collars

    Ok, you people are taking it the WRONG way, he doesnt beat the dog, ONLY when he is barking at 7AM and wont shut up, and it happens rarely, also the tape is no big deal, he got it off in a matter of seconds. My dad just doesnt want to hear a dog barking at 7am, I mean who would? So he...

    Shock Collars

    He cant sleep inside becasue "he is a dog, dogs sleep outside, all the other dogs slept outside" that what my mom says. He doesent have anything to do really cuz its night time and he can get somthing out of a kong in a half an hour. And bones are bad for his teeth since he chews REALLY hard...

    Adding weight/muscle to a dog

    For a 60lbs lab getting 2cups aday is NOT enough, my lab is 10mo and 68lbs and gets 5cups a day and is perfect condishion. Take a look at the back of the dog food bag and see how much it reccomends you feed, its a chart that you have to find the dogs age and weight, then it will tell you how...

    She won't listen to me!

    How old is she? The best way to start getting control is to put her on a leash, she can run away and you can have control, also you need to let her know YOUR alfa, a good way to do that is make her wait before before going out the door and make sure YOU procede first, make her sit and stay...

    Whippet

    Whippets are sweet, intelligent, livly and a very devoted dog and clam in the home. They should NEVER be harshly trained for they are very sensitive, positive training works the BEST with them. They are an independent breed and you can never acheve perfect obedience although I'm sure its...
