What to expect from your
dog while training
The first time your dog receives a correction
from the anti barking collars he may react in
a way that concerns you. He may yelp or yip
or jump slightly. Do not be alarmed by these
reactions. His first reaction to the correction
will always be his most intense. |
First Week of Training
You should notice an improvement in your dog's barking within the first week of training. At this point many dog owners feel that the "problem has been solved". In some cases this may be true, but in most cases the training is still not complete. Most, if not every dog, will "test" this new learning experience, i.e., they will increase their attempts to get away with barking. This testing period usually occurs during the second week of training. When it does occur you must remain consistent - do not alter your use of the anti barking collars.
Preventing Training Setback
Once your dog is trained, you must continue to place the collar on him in every situation in which he must be quiet. He may see a new dog or a squirrel through a window for the first time and he may bark. If he is not wearing anti bark collars he may get away with barking and his training may suffer a setback. If he is wearing the collar, he will stop barking immediately and any setback will be prevented.
Using the Anti Barking Collars with other devices
You may have a need to train your dog to do other things. If you decide to use another type of training tool, be selective with the type you use while your dog is wearing the anti bark collars. Generally, it is best not to let your dog wear more than one collar at a time. Never use a metal choker collar while your dog is wearing the no-bark collar as it may trigger false signals and possibly false corrections. If you must have a second collar on your dog consider the use of a nylon choker collar or other nonmetallic collar.
If you use a leash, attach it to a collar other than the
one used for the bark collars for dogs. You should never
attach a leash to the collar and you should
never pull anti bark collars while it is on your
dog. Doing so you may cause injury to his throat.
