How to train your dog the easy way – K9 Collars Australia

I am sure that we all appreciate the skills of working dogs. It is great to watch working dogs round up a flock of sheep or see those ripper little cattle dogs nipping at the heels of cattle. And what about the Maremma dogs who saved the fairy penguins on Victoria’s Middle Island from foxes in 2009?

I take my hat off to all dog trainers around the world – they do an awesome job and a job that many of us fail at miserably. Hands up everyone whose dog barks too much, digs holes in the garden or gets a little too friendly with guests? For some of us it just seems so hard to train our dogs.

So if you have tried everything and your dog is still misbehaving, then maybe try a dog training collar from K9 Collars Australia.


 

How do the dog training collars work?


They are quite simple really. You just place the dog training collar around your dog’s neck with a receiver attached to it. When your dog barks, they receive a warning beep and if they don’t stop barking within 30 seconds they receive a short, harmless stimulation or correction.

They actually receive a short zap from the dog training collar which startles them (and you can change the settings on this yourself). If they stop barking the receiver resets to the lowest level, but if they keep barking the correction gets a little stronger each time.

It doesn’t take very long for your dog to learn that the warning beep means to be quiet. So it lets them give one bark and then retrains them to just stop and not bark all day long.

You can even purchase a sonic bark collar which only emits a high pitched noise when your dog barks – not a stimulating correction. These are great for little dogs whose hair might stand on end if they received even the smallest zap from a dog training collar. They are also good for dogs that are easily trained and pick up the meaning of the warning beep straight away.

K9 Collars Australia sell standard dog training collars as well as a deluxe collar and a sonic bark collar. You can rent them or purchase them from their website.

It’s good to know that training your dog can be so easy. Avoiding all the stress of a misbehaving dog makes life so much more pleasant for you and your family, and your dog will be so much happier living in your home.

Don’t go barking mad – use stop barking collars for dogs and dog remote trainers

Barking dogs can send you barking mad – believe me I know. Like most people I like dogs, I even have a few myself, but good grief, when the neighbour’s dog sits at the fence line all day barking, barking mad does not fully describe how I feel.

I am sure that most of you have been tormented by barking dogs at some time or another; even our own dogs can drive us nuts if they keep barking all day long. So what can you do? Well, you can’t stop the neighbour’s dogs barking – that needs a nice little chat with your neighbour – but you can do something to stop your own dogs sending you and all your neighbours barking mad.

It’s called a stop barking collar for dogs and they really do work.

HOW DOES A STOP BARKING COLLAR FOR DOGS WORK?

The stop barking collar for dogs has a special receiver attached to the collar which picks up your dog’s barks. So when your dog barks, the receiver emits a warning beep and your dog receives a harmless static stimulation. Your dog will soon learn that if he doesn’t bark again that nothing else happens – but if he does bark again within 30 seconds he receives another warning beep and a stronger correction.

Don’t worry – your dog will quickly realise that remaining, quiet makes his day a whole lot better. If your dog learns this and doesn’t bark again within 30 seconds, the receiver on the stop barking collar resets to the lowest level. It’s a great way to teach your dog not to bark all day long and the stimulation or the zap they receive is not harmful, but certainly retrains your dog to behave himself.

DOG REMOTE TRAINERS

Dog remote trainers are great for dogs that have troublesome behaviours like digging, chewing your shoes or humping guests. It is similar to the stop barking collar for dogs in that your dog receives a harmless zap if they don’t listen to your commands. It is a very effective way to train your dog.

You can even use a dog remote trainer for basic obedience commands like ‘come’ or ‘stop’. With a range up to 800 metres you can even use it in off leach areas or on the beach (they are water proof).


So if you think you’ve already tried everything to train your dog, you probably haven’t tried the stop dog barking collar or the dog remote trainers. Life may suddenly become a whole lot quieter and simpler.
