THIS IS AWESOME! My favorite dog trainer and dog whisperer of all time has just released a free video online explaining how to eliminate 94% of all unwanted behavior in ANY dog. Her name is Krista Cantrell and I absolutely LOVE the way she teaches. Click on the video to watch. You'll be glad you did...

After his workshift, Mark comes home to his Labrador, Gabriel. As he unlocks his front door, he could already hear Gabriel barking that good-natured welcome-home-happy bark. Mark kneels and pets his companion for three-years. It wasn’t always this good. Before, Mark’s neighbours called him at work to complain about Gabriel’s barking. There were even nights when Mark thought of giving up on his dog, having been awakened at midnight by his barking. It took some online surfing, but a solution - an anti bark dog collar - was found to be effective.

Controlling your dog’s barking

A responsible dog owner takes time - if only to avoid the nagging complaints from his neighbour- to teach his dog that barking is a behavior not to be tolerated. No one wants the inconvenience of having to come home from work just to check on what’s causing all that racket. It can get worse - you could be driving, with your dog in your car, when all that barking happens. The noise is one thing, the added behaviour of tearing up furniture is another.

Mark found out, after some observation, and a day off from work, that Gabriel barked at other dogs being walked early in the morning, and in the afternoon. Since Mark couldn’t always be at home to hush his dog, some dog training tools were needed. Mark decided to look into dog conditioning tools.

Shopping is easy

All Mark had to do was decide on a collar that fit Gabriel’s size, and to choose the deterrent mechanism on the collar. His choices were a low voltage shock - the static collar type. A chemical released near the dog’s nose - the spray type. A sound emitted that only the dog could hear - the ultrasonic type. Mark went with the spray type. His research informed him that his dog’s sense of smell would only be irritated by the spray. A few days after wearing his anti bark dog collar, Gabriel toned down.
