Barking Dog Collar Training
Barking dog collar systems were specifically designed to help their
owners put an end to unnecessary barking. Made with the most advanced technology, these bark dog collar devices can correct or modify the dog's behavior by providing different forms of corrections. They can be
used to control barking when the owner is
not present or in other specific situations.
However success is dependent on proper use. |
Introducing the dog to the
Barking Dog Collar
Before owners begin training with an activated system,
owners should first accustom the dog to a deactivated
barking dog collar. By spending just two days introducing
the dog to a system owners can avoid other problems
from developing, such as the dog cowering when
owners approach him with the system. Introduce the
dog to the dog bark control by completing the following.
Day One
- Choose a small food reward (about
the size of a pencil eraser) that the dog finds
very desirable and that he will accept every time.
- Place the bark dog collar around
the dog's neck for approximately 2 to 3 hours.
- Be sure that owners have the collar
fitted in the same manner that it will be during
actual training. Refer to the product specific
operations manual for determining proper fit of
collar. After it has been on his neck a short
period of time give him a food reward. Repeat
this reward several times.
Day Two
Repeat day one procedure over a 5-6 hour period.
Day Three
This is the first day that the dog should receive
the correction.
Training with the Barking Dog Collar
Before placing an activated bark dog collar on the pet,
carefully choose the first situation in which it
is going to be used. This situation should be one
in which the dog will learn easily, i.e., one with
few distractions. If owners do train in a situation
with distractions, the dog may not associate the
correction with his barking, but with something
else. For example, if when the dog first barks,
he is looking at a visitor to the home, he may
perceive the visitor as being the cause of the correction,
instead of his barking.
The initial training situation should
also be one in which owners can observe the dog's
first few reactions to the anti barking dog collar. Do
not leave the dog alone the first few times he
receives a correction.
Train the dog only in this initial
situation until he has learned what the consequence
to barking is. Only then should owners move on to the
next situation. This will help ensure that the
dog understands that barking is the behavior he
must avoid, no matter what his reason for barking.
What to expect from the dog
while training
The first time the dog receives the correction
he may react in a way that concerns owners. 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. Do not be alarmed
by any such reaction. After the first few corrections
his reaction will lessen. He will eventually just
stop barking and remain calm. It is advised that
owners observe the dog's reactions to the correction.
An improvement in
the dog's barking within the first week of training should already be noticeable.
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 owners must remain consistent - do not
alter the use of the barking dog collar systems.
Once the dog is trained, owners must
continue to place the anti barking dog 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
the bark dog collar he may get away with barking
and his training may suffer a setback. If he is
wearing the barking dog collar, he will stop barking
immediately and any setback will be prevented.
