Our 1 y.o. German-Shepherd mixed breed dog might well have the best Southern hiking physiology of any dog I have ever seen. Unlike true Shepherds, her coat is short and requires no maintenance. She is lean and tall and a great rock climber. She is also part hound and loves to chase wildlife -- rabbits and deer. We have trained her to an "emergency come" command with steak and cheesburger, and not even that command will stop her from chasing a deer.
This last time, we lost her for 30 min., only to find her back at the car. She has good recall with other people or dogs. Question: will a remote control shock collar stop her?
Secrets to Dog Training to Stop Your Dog's Behavior Problems
Recommended Answer:
Yes, it will stop her and train her to stop every single time, IF you know what you are doing and if you do it right.
You are correct, the bunny huggers on here have no idea what training a dog for real world applications is and they would give you all kinds of reasons not to use an E collar.
I have used E collars for over twenty years and I have cured dogs from "crittering" without fail and I have helped dogs that would otherwise be destroyed.
It takes sometime and proper planning and execution, but, I KNOW it can be done.
Please email me if you are interested, I will try to help you as much as possible over the net!!
Dog Training Schools - What a Typical Course Covers
- If you're talking about the type of collar that will cause a shock when you use the remote.... that might work, but only if you use it every single time. If you're talking about the invisible fence, the dog may decide it's worth the discomfort to suffer the momentary shock. On the other hand, he will have to endure the shock again when he comes back. German Shepherds are very intelligent, and might eventually decide that tweo shccks aren't worthwhile.... but at first he'll probably take off.
- The remote collar may stop her yes, but if her prey drive is really that high she'll probably keep going after the "prey" once she starts after it, no matter what you do.
- I would say that its a bad idea it will hert your dog and you dont want your dog to be unhappy do u >??
- I'm not a PETA freak but it could hurt your dog.
- we have a ton of land and put an electric fence around a few acres. lots of deer, etc. on property and horses walking on road.
(140 lb lab-rot mix, beagle, and med. size mutt) all three LOVED to chase the animals and would often go to the neighbors because they would feed them against our wishes. within a couple days they were trained and do not leave. even without collars on!
It REALLY bothers me when people say this is mean or it will hurt the dog. You can adjust the strength, and it gives them a warning beep a couple feet from the fence. It is WAY better than animal control getting them or a car hitting them??? isn't it??????
I know this is a fence, but it's the same idea. If you do do this I would suggest flagging your property so she can see her bounderies until she is used to it. walk the property every day for a while. - You need to do more training. A emergency come command is all good but every you say come she should be at your side no matter what. You shoudl teach her the check in method and watch me. I have called a terrier off a rabbit with this. Check in simply this start at home every time she checks in called or not called she gets a treat do this for while until whenever you say her name she right there looking for you. Then you shoudl alo teach watch me command - it very useful, soon enough she will be watching you and not every distraction. More pbedience training in a class is a must as well. Until she is reilable keep her on lead unless she is in a fenced in area. that way you aren't worrying about her getting hurt. A year old is young to be off leash all the time and reilable but sound like you are doing great working with her already so keep it up.
