Dogs bite for reasons that can be traced back to instinct and pack mentality. Puppies bite and nip on other dogs and people as a means for exploring their environment and learning their place in the pack. Owners MUST teach their puppies that mouthing and biting are not acceptable. Beyond puppy behavior, the motivation to bite or snap typically comes from the following:

  • Fear or Defensiveness
  • Protection of Property
  • Pain or Sickness
  • Dominance Assertion
  • Predatory Instinct

Though some breeds are thought to be dangerous, I am not convinced that breed specific legislation is the answer. Owners and breeders are the ones who can help decrease the tendency for any type of dog to bite through proper training, socialization and breeding practices. If all else fails, try a remote dog training collar to correct your dog.

Prepping for Dog Training

It’s common knowledge that dogs are easiest to train when they’re still in the puppy stage. If they are taught to correct their mistakes early on, they won’t even think about making them again later in life. A rambunctious young pup is incredibly endearing, but the little troublemaker can also wreak havoc in a home until he’s trained. Even with the aid of Petsafe dog training collars, it can take some time before your pooch is in line.

You can protect antiques and other breakables in your house by carefully applying dog repellent. Dogs will be deterred from entering the area for 24 hours, and the repellent can be reapplied as needed until your pooch is adequately trained. This technique is especially helpful if you have all of your most precious items in one room. If you catch him early enough, you can train a dog to never even consider disrupting the valuables.

Most experienced dog owners are familiar with common dog behavior problems, but some may wonder why dogs exhibit these behaviors. Barking, biting, chewing and many other common dog behaviors are often misunderstood and mishandled by dog owners. Perhaps you are new to dog ownership, considering getting a dog, or just wish to better manage your dog’s behavior problems. Thoroughly understanding the most common dog behavior problems is the first step to solving and preventing them. A solid foundation of obedience training will help you prevent or better control common dog behavior problems.
1. Barking.
Most dogs bark, howl and whine to some degree. Excessive barking is considered a behavior problem. Before you can correct barking, determine why your dog is vocalizing in the first place. These are the most common types of barking:

  • Warning or Alert
  • Playfulness/Excitement
  • Attention-seeking
  • Anxiety
  • Boredom
  • Responding to Other Dogs

Learn to control excessive barking. Be consistent and patient.  Also, check out our no bark collars online. Dedication and attention to detail can go a long way. 

Be Selective and Keep You Pet Safe

For many people, pets are more than just companions or those furry little creatures that take up the foot of the bed. For some, pets are even like their children. With that in mind, pet safety is first and foremost in many pet lovers’ minds. That is why so many pet owners are (and should be) selective about the kind of pet products they purchase, especially products like dog training shock collars. While there are many factors to keep in mind before purchasing these items, the number one concern should always be pet safety.

This is true before and after the purchase. That is to day, you should always make sure the products are non-toxic and safe for animal use when you initially purchase them. But also make sure you properly maintain the products so that they continue to be safe for your animal. To that end, make sure you wash pet bowls frequently with a gentle, dishwashing soap. And always throw away any products that are chipped or broken. This will help ensure you avoid unnecessary cuts or injuries on your animal.

Pick a Fitness Routine for Your Dog

Friday, June 4, 2010 @ 09:06 AM

Fitness Magazine promises you won’t even notice how many calories you’re burning with these four ways to play with your dog.

Walking your dog regularly helps you rack up an average of 103 minutes per week a University of Western Australia study reveals. That’ amounts to about 618 extra calories burned.

Here are some exercises and the breeds that do best with them:

Frisbee: Herding breeds, such as collies, shepherds and sheepdogs are naturals at snachers.

Swimming: Labradors and golden retrievers, with their water-resistant coats, were bred to retrieve game birds for hunters.

Jogging: Medium to large breeds, such as Labradors and Dalmatians, love a good run. How long they last depends upon each dog’s fitness level.

Waling or Biking: Small breeds, such as beagles and high-energy dogs such as Jack Russell terriers are fine for several miles a well as short dogs.

If your dog gets overly excited and starts nuisance barking along the way, be sure to try one of our no-bark collars.

DOGtek Bark Control Collar

Friday, May 21, 2010 @ 01:05 PM

Control your dogs barking with the DOGTEK® Bark Control Collar. Most people can’t hear the annoying tone but your dog will. Soon your dog will know his bark is causing the stimulation and tone.

How it Works:

At the first bark, a series of six beep sounds is emitted. If another bark is detected within 30 seconds, another beep sound of 2 seconds is emitted together with stimulation. Inhibition of any further stimulation is dependant on the absence of any barking within the next 30 seconds. The stimulation function can be inhibited using the stimulation switch, which will cause only the beep sounds to be emitted

Curtailing Noisy Canines

While barking is a natural function for dogs, most homeowners would like to curb that behavior as quickly as possible. It used to take a concerted effort to curtail excessive barking, but thanks to advances in training technology, an overly rambunctious dog can be reigned in within a matter of days. One of the keys is utilizing an Innotek bark collar.

There are two types of bark collars to choose from: electric and citrus spray. An electric dog collar will administer a small shock every time a dog barks, conditioning the canine to cease the noise. These collars come with several sensitivity settings, so you can adjust as need be. Many people consider the citrus spray a more human alternative; it uses small bursts of all-natural spray to deter the dog from barking.
