Electronic Collars - Tame Your Dog's Bad Side

Every dog has traits that endear them to their owners

, and which their owners wish they didn't have to endure. Wally, a five year old Labrador is usually behaved, quiet, and knows when to keep to himself when, Evelyn, his owner is having a bad day. Except when he senses that other dogs are near the front gate. Then and only then does he ignore everything else, and barks madly, whether or not his owner is tired from work. This is Wally's bad side. Evelyn was to discover for herself how quickly this behaviour could be controlled using electronic collars.

Barking is one of the ways dogs express themselves, and Evelyn understands that. But she gets migraines when she can't stop Wally from barking, especially when it's so early in the morning. There were even times at night when she was jolted from sleep because of Wally's excessive barking. Unlike some dog owners, she does not want to yell at her dog. Evelyn had tried showering Wally with attention, to hush him, and to give him treats. Over time, that combination of bribes didn't work on the dog. She had to keep apologizing to her neighbours.

One late afternoon, home from work, Evelyn spent some extra time with her Labrador. The new no-bark collar she bought, a shock type, fit Wally perfectly. What was needed was to keep watch on Wally until he got used to wearing the collar. Electronic dog collars can be activated in two ways - through a sensor on the collar or via remote control. The sensor sends out a low-voltage shock when it senses, in combination, a loud sound (Wally's bark) and vibration coming from the dog's throat. This is the type of collar Evelyn invested in, at first.

On the very evening the collar was bought and placed on Wally, neighbour's dogs walked past the front gate, as per their walking schedule. Wally tried to bark loudly, but something was off. Wally showed a startled look on his face. Evelyn observed as his dog kept trying to bark, so see if he could work around the shocks and keep barking anyway. A long, not so loud bark, came out of Wally, who was trying to get around the device's punishment. The next evening the results were the same, and Evelyn was thankful her migraines were gone.

Wally's barking stopped, even though Evelyn could see that her dog still senses other dogs outside their house. Because of Evelyn's investment in electronic collars, she got both the Wally she loves and the serene evenings she deserves.
