Continuing with my domestic animal theme...
The girlfriends got one of these dogs that likes to bark.The other night I'm over at her place and were watching tv when theres a knock at the door.Its officer friendly,apparently the gf's dog barks all day whilst shes away at work.The neighbors dont dig her dog much and had complained to the local authorities.So she keeps the dog locked up in her garage for a couple days while shes at work.On Friday night she comes out to my palacial pad to watch movies and spend the night.She brings the dog.Thats fine with me,cant keep the thing locked in the garage 24 hours a day.Again the pooping thing.
Anyways,to condense this saga,the dog barks all night,Im talking,yap yap ayap yap ayp ayap.We hit the hay early around 10.About 1 in the morn I'd had enough of her dog.About the time Id fall asleep the dog would start with the yapping.I get up out of bed,offer to shoot the dog,regretably i'm sure,she declines my offer of doggy youthanasia(sic).So i go out,grab the dog by the collar and drag her the sixty yards out to the shed out back and chain her to a barn pole where she spent the evening out of earshot of us.
Now the GF has gone to the Shocking Collar! to try a little doggy behavior modification treatment.Its like shes nurse Ratchet to the doggys Jack N.It seems to work...yet it doesnt shock the hell out of the lil bugger like I want it too.It just produces a quizical look on her face and a bit of discomfert.Time will tell.

i've tried the shock collar....
two words: get bullets

Either spend more time with it..or get it a new home..the majority of dog's bark for a two simple reasons..they want attention..of any kind..good or bad or they are bored..sometimes playing with it for a little while..then leaving it with several toys will work..sometimes giving it a one of those treat balls works..it occupies their lil doggy minds..and gives then something to do other than dwell on their being alone alot..after raising boxers all my life..i can tell you now..ive been thru it all.. [img]tongue.gif[/img] ..but chaining it..or locking it in a garage will only make it worse...not to mention the shocking coller..*cringes*..i realize some places you have to keep the dog confined either on a chain..or inside..what ive found it to make it like a playroom of sorts..i know it sounds silly..but the more things a dog has to do..the less he thinks on making mischeif...give him or her lots of running and jumping time off the chain or leash if you can find a place with a fence or something..sorry if i sound unkind..i by no means want you to think that...just thought a few ideas might help you get a goodnights sleep.. [img]biggrin.gif[/img] ..all that from a doggy who drove me nuts at first..cant you see the meanness in those eyes..

LMMFAO!!!
i think another reason is the environment the
dog may be in. due to my situation, i believe
my dog barked because he just couldn't see through
the wooden fence... and he heard commotions...
-
Funny you should mention that..I used to shut my pup in the bathroom when i had to leave him..he tore up things ..barked..so i decided one day to leave him in the spare bedroom..there was a nice window looking out at the road..do you know..i never had another problem with him..he went in there every morning when i left for work...my neighbors said it was so funny to drive by and see him sitting in front of the window..watching the world go by..i dont think he ever left it the whole time i was gone..he never barked..never tore up anything..just being able to see out made him happy.. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
-
how do you know he never barked if you were gone?
it prolly barked its ass off.
i say if you still have the dog, go shock it a time or two.
-
I have neighbors TG.. [img]graemlins/sure.gif[/img] ..several of them are retired and always at home..they would tell me if he was barking..
-
not if they were trying to protect the animal.
punish the dog.

hhhhhmmmm, is that like the saying...."if a tree falls in the woods and nobody is around to hear it, does it still make a noise?"
If a dog barks and nobody is around to hear it bark, does it still make a noise?*L*
Blazey girl, I lllllooovvveeeeee your dog girl! I wish our landlord would allow pets. I miss having a doggy [img]frown.gif[/img]
I had to take my half german shepard half hound dog to my parents. But he loves it. he lives out in the county where he chases rabbits, chases my dad on the four wheeler and he is happier than a pig in shit. But I miss my doggie woggie*S*
He is just the cutest thing! Like I mentioned, he is half german shepard and half hound dog. he has all the markings and body of a german shepard and the head and floppy ears of a hound dog. His name is "Sheriff".
I get to see him every now and then when I drive out to the country to my parents home. I'll have to post some pics up on my board of my Sheriff.

The Shock Collar! works!
Through consistent use,The Shock Collar! has cured this annoying POS dog.It barks a very little but nothing like before,I actually like the little thing now.
-
yeah... but how's its neck??????
when i had montag on the shock collar... it
almost bore a hole through his neck. i hadn't
noticed it at first... but i went to take it
off of him (to give him a break from it) and i
noticed it had burned his skin.
that was the last time i used it.... it never
went back on.....
-
I dont know,Ill have to check tomorow.She seems pretty happy....
-
let us know how it goes!!!!!!
i do hope the dog is fine. maybe i just got one
of those shitty shock collars, i dunno...
i still have it.
it doesn't have an ON/OFF switch... so i'm not
sure how to turn it off [img]redface.gif[/img]

The girlfriend took the collar off this morning to see if the dog had learnd anything.This evening it barked a little more then usual,but not too bad.
I checked her neck(the dogs,not my girlfriend)and saw nothing.Everything looks normal
-
its prolly my gay collar. i put it up in the
cabinet because i couldn't get it to turn off
and i didn't wanna chance touching it or one of
the cats touching it....
i will (one day) discover the brand and we can
compare
