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.
