My dog jumps up every time I come home and if I tell her not to she will pee on the floor to show me how submissive she is. So I am stuck. Either I let her jump up or endure a peeing dog. Please help me.

Q. How to get my dog to stop barking with a collar?

Wow. After just 3 days with the citronella spray dog collar, my dog has stopped barking almost entirely.... wow its so awesome. I hardly believe its the same dog. If you have a dog barking problem you have to try this. I don`t know the brand I bought but its a dog collar that sprays a citronella (lemon smelling) mist in front of your dog every time he barks. Dogs don`t like this smell but it doesn`t harm them in any way. If I had only found this years ago. Well I hope this post saves someone else a lot of dog heartache.

Q. How to stop wig from moving when i move or bend over?

I have found a little trick. I use that rubber high friction place mat material they use for motorhomes so your plate doesn`t slide around while moving. This only works until oil from your scalp lubricates it and then it doesn`t work. Has anyone from something that really holds on.

Q. Mice bird feeder problem - how to stop mice from coming to my bird feeder?

This is such an incredible problem for me. I have tried everything and now I am on the verge of getting rid of the bird feeder. Please somebody please rescue the poor starving birds around my house in the winter by telling me how to get rid of my mouse problem that has come about because of all the spilled seeds. Birds are really pretty but they are also very messy eaters. They spill more seed than they eat.

Q. My dog got out of his trainer collar, can i buy another receiver?
my dog was responding well to remote training and stopped chasing cars and jumping on people and we only had to use sound to deter him. he ended up losing his collar with the receiver and we still have the remote. i was wondering if i can get another receiver instead of having to buy a entire new set? my remote has guardian on it and the whole product was petsafe deluxe big dog remote trainer (pdbdt-305) - i just can't afford another hundred bucks and can't seem to find a home page for the people who make this.

Do you remember where you got it? Petsmart may have them.

Q. Dog training question. is there really a class to train a dog to stay within boundaries?
ok my friend has a german shepherd who will not stay in here fenced property, even though its large enough for 3 large dogs this german sheperd seesm to prefer to jump the fence due to owner anxiety cause she has only had this dog for a month and a half and the previous owners had a wooden fence and sheltered the dog in the back yard and inside, so the dog doesnt know what a car is. well my friend bought a 6ft fenced in kennel for the dog since her regular fenced in area is 4ft or basic size fence, and the dog made 6 holes in the gate, but she was not left in there for hours this dog put in a few wholes within a 25 minute period while my friend had someone fixing her ac system in the house. the first two weeks she did fine outside as long as my friend had her back door open so the dog could go in and out, but one day my friend had to run to the store and took longer then she expected, got back home and the dog was gone, thanks to tags on her collar and some good people the dog was returned to her. she now has had the dog micro chipped. her german sheperd is worth alot more then what she bought her for, but the previous owners had a wooden fenced in area, and my friends father who owns the house she lives in will not allow her to put in a new fence for a stubborn dog as he says. he told her to just get rid of her but she refuses she is determined to keep her. she asked me to find info on electric fences for dogs and the advise that was given was honest but disappointing on results. -someone said the dog can be trained but this dog has gone through obedience class and knows "leave it", but no matter how much you yell leave it at the fence she will jump it, even if the back door is open now due to her freaking out. --now this dog is mostly inside the house and supervised when outside, but even when supervised she will hit a corner of the house and by the time my friend gets there the dogs behind is already going over the fence and my friend has to run her down in the neighborhood till the dog is worn out. also this dog is walked/ran twice a day and if not twice at least once and still i think she misses her previous owner who moved overseas to live with there son and could not take the dog with them. my question is: what class is there to train a dog to stay within boundaries and not to hop a fence. what would it be called cause all the training info i looked up for her online within our area is only obedience training and it lists what is taught and she knows all that. so what is it called and what would she be looking to see listed to be trained to this stubborn animal.

She doesn't need training to stay inside boundaries. She needs to bond to her new owner and feel secure about staying in her own yard. I agree with the previous answerer that this dog is distressed and needs a behaviorist. 1. Don't get an electric underground fence. They malfunction and the dog can get hurt. I was sitting for a dog once who had one and it burned his neck. It was awful. 2. German Shepherds are boundary dogs. They are bred to act as living fences themselves and are about the easiest breed to get to stay inside a boundary even if it's just a line on the floor instead of a fence. Their job is to walk or trot a boundary around a flock of sheep in an unfenced field and keep the sheep from crossing the path set down by the human shepherd. 3. No fence will contain a GSD who does not want to be contained. They can climb just about anything, wood, chain, whatever. I've seen them go up and over a six foot privacy fence with ease. She stayed put with the previous owner because she chose to, not because of the type of fence they had. The only way to really secure them is with a topped run with concrete floor and steel bars. So save the money on a new fence. It won't solve the problem. Spend it on dog classes instead. Saying "leave it" won't do anything until the dog is trained to understand what that means. Most basic obedience classes will introduce the idea of "leave it" but it really isn't designed to deal with fence hopping. It's more for dealing with dogs stealing things like food or sniffing things they oughtn't while the owner is standing right there watching them do it. But before the dog can learn anything, she has to be emotionally secure. GSDs are one person dogs. They don't change owners well. She needs help from a good behaviorist to help her make this transition. Your vet can probably recommend one. So your friend should spend her fence money on a behaviorist instead.

Q. Do invisible dog training fences really work?
now i dont want answer from people who want to just through out there thoughts of how cruel it is and how it shouldnt be used. i will automatically give you a thumbs down cause my question does not state anything about wanting to know your opinion on what you think about invisible electric dog training fences. --i just want to know do they work and if you were satisfied with the one you used (opinions wanted from those who have used or owned one only) what brand was it and did you have a large breed of dog, what kind, and did it work for them. --a friend of mine owns a german shepard so im trying to find out info for her. she bought a 6ft gated kennel for the dog which the dog ended up putting 6 hoes by pulling the gate wires loose with her teeth and nose even though all of the chain links were wired down at the bottom. she cant keep this dog on a chain i believe they out lawed it now. she refuses to get rid of the dog she is determined to keep her cause she does have papers and was worth way more then what she got her for. but she cant keep the dog contained unless on a chain to a tree which she does not want to do, and she walks her twice a day and still the dog is determined to climb the fence and get out, plus she was a sheltered dog from the previous owners and does not know that cars are a danger she has almost been hit 3 times from getting out several times. my friend is resorting to a shock collar with a invisible fence but she has never used one and wants to know if buying one is worth it for the size of the dog (she is a year and 7 months), or do most of these type of contraptions not work. this dog didnt jump the fence in the beginning months that she had her but all of a sudden she left her alone one day and since they she jumps with fence, she has been told the dog has owner anxiety. this invisible fence will line the inside of a fence in the backyard, her back yard is huge its just the dog climbs her main metal fence she just wants something that might keep the dog at bay from getting near the metal fence surrounding her property to keep her from climbing out

If the problem is that she goes through the fence even when left for a little while, I much prefer using a standard, "honest", electric farm wire like you would use for horses or such. They can see it and relate to it - there are no sudden shocks or pain coming from out of nowhere. You put it up inside of a regular fence so you eliminate the usual problems of invisible fences that others have mentioned; problems that often lead to aggression, especially in a sensitive dog like the German shepherd. Most people I know who have tried invisible fences weren't satisfied with the results, and the one that said it was okay lived in an area where no other dogs or people came by since it was placed far from the property line on her farm. German shepherds are notorious for doing poorly when isolated from their people and certainly not recommended for living outside or left outside on their own when the owner leaves. Going through a fence in such a situation is not disobedience but desperation and even panic. This is part of why invisible fences often don't work with German shepherds. I do think she has a much bigger issue, from reading your post, and to only try to fix the symptoms is not going to work in the long run. She would benefit from visiting an experienced, positive trainer, and if taking care of her dog's problems is too much for her, she should consider re-homing her as the problems are bound to get worse - anxiety will continue to manifest itself in new ways if old ways are "prohibited".

Q. Has anyone used a shock collar for dogs?
has anyone used a shock collar to prevent dogs jumping up on people???? i have a german shepherd that is almost 2 years old ( 20 months to be exact ) before we got her i researched different breeders for temperament. she is not my first shepherd, i have had five in my adult life, sometimes two at a time. before we had children i schutzund trained and titled two dogs. i just want you to know that i'm not new at this. i had her signed up for puppy classes before we even got her! our problem is that she is overly hyper, she jumps on everyone to the point where she is knocking them over, she's about 80 lbs. ive tried just about everything that i can think of. i have been to three different training facilities. at school she is perfect, actually winning awards. at home she is a totally different dog. i have three older children (19, 16 & 13) she get's plenty of walking and play time. when someone comes to the door she will jump on them and just not let up. we've tried ignoring by turning our back and that seems to wind her up more. i've tried the pinch / prong collar with a correction but that doesn't phase her. i've tried treats and other distractions but she will even ignore the food in order to jump up on someone. i use friends to come over and ring the door bell to "practice' being a good dog, but it hasn't worked. no one in our family wants to keep this dog except me. i can't give up on her. i've been thinking of buying a shock collar. has anyone used it for jumping? has anyone has used this type of collar! we have tried keeping her on a leash and stepping on it if she jumped, as soon as we let go she starts to jump up on people. i had her on a leash for over an hour and as soon as i dropped the leash she jumped up and knocked over on my 76yr old mother. i forgot to mention that my son runs 5 miles every morning with her. every evening i take her for a 3.4 mile walk, if the weather is too cold, she uses a treadmill. she actually likes the treadmill, she will go and sit on it waiting for someone to turn it on!

I've not had to use an e-collar for jumping problems, but would if I had that problem. I highly recommend the following DVD: http://leerburg.com/318.htm I own the DVD and it was worth every cent I paid for it.. The DVD even has a chapter on stopping a dog from jumping up that features a GSD. Like James, I also recommend the Dogtra 1900NCP (formerly known as the Dogtra 1700NCP that I own and use). Jumping up is not strictly a training issue, it's also a pack structure issue and can be dealt with differently than problems with obedience. In formal obedience, you do not correct a dog for not doing what it doesn't know. Jumping up is inappropriate pack behavior and can be discouraged/extinguished with the use of corrections.

Q. Don sullivan's secrets to training a perfect dog?
i'm trying to look into this dog training program, and i'm curious to see if it actually works. has anyone used this system, how long did it take, what were the pros and cons, and would you recommend it? also, what of the "command collar?" i'm not a big fan of choke or pinch collars, as they supposedly damage the dog's throat. is this one dangerous? more specificially, did your dog share any of the problems as mine, and did this system fix them? --urinating in the house (she'll go outside just fine, but though i did the potty schedule thing for a full six months, she'll still urinate inside if i don't watch her every minute of every day. she doesn't whine to be let out or even go near the door when she needs to pee, and while i can tell when she's doing the "find a good place to pee on the carpet" sniff and can usually stop her, she shouldn't still be urinating inside at this point. she doesn't do it out of excitement, but nothing that i do seems to be getting the idea that peeing is an outside thing into her head). --digging holes--though she is a terrier, and we do have a lot of gophers and moles and things that she's probably going after, this still isn't good for my garden. i once thought it was a boredom thing, but even when she's exhausted from all the play and exercise we've had, she still bolts for the garden the second i let her into the backyard. again, there is a rodent problem here, but i can't do anything about them.) ==bolting out the front door and nearly gettin run over every time (though i think i've stopped this one) --chewing on everything, though she admittedly doesn't seem to go for the furniture. just toys, books, shoes, pens (and getting ink out of carpet is a real issue), the computer printer, and the corners of the walls. i've tried everything with this dog--i've spent hours upon hours upon hours using various training methods that didn't sink in no matter what, i've read every book known to man, and i've even hired personal trainers, who gave up on my dog and one of whom finally suggested i get a shock collar. i did, though i'm only using the noise button and not the shock part. so far, that's helped her learn to stop jumping on the leather furniture, but that's it. ...which brings me back to don sullivan. does this work as well and as quickly as the informercials claim? i adore this dog, but i can't keep spending money on her, and i don't want to buy a system that won't work. still, i'm at the end of my rope and need help.

You have very simple issues that even a Petsmart class can help you with, I honestly don't think you need some expensive "as seen on tv" trainer for this stuff. Your dog is going in the house because she isn't fully house broken. You need to go back to step one like she is a puppy- Take her out every few hours, tie her to you to keep an eye on her if necessary, crate when you can't watch her, ignore the accidents, and praise like she saved the world when she goes outside. I’ve hear of many people ringing a bell every time they take the dog out and the dog eventually learning to ring the bell themselves whenever they want out. The fact of the matter though is that she's not house broken yet, simple as that. Digging holes here sounds like a terrier instinct issue (going after the rodents like she was bred to do)- Get rid of the pests and she may stop, teaching her "leave it" would be one of the most helpful things to do as well. Some people make dig boxes for their dogs even and basically teach that digging her is fine, but do not dig elsewhere. I also got to say if she's got enough energy to dig you're still not giving enough exercise likely, many terriers need hours of stimulation a day (both mental and physical). Bolting out the door can be solved by training sit and stay. Indeed many people will keep their dog on a leash and have someone else open the door so they can correct the behavior when they try to bolt- Never take your dog outside without giving a sit and stay command at the door first- She can come out when you tell her she can. Chewing is another not enough exercise issue- With 2 activities pointing to this on your list I would suggest you exercise even more. You also need to put all this stuff up where your dog can not get them. If she's doing it because you're not there to watch her then you need to keep her in her crate when you cannot supervise. Also try giving her plenty of things she can chew! Don't fall for this "as seen on tv" garbage- Talk to your vet for local trainer recommendations, pull out your phone book and call and ask different trainers questions, or just go to Petsmart/ Petco- You're issues aren't all that sever.

Q. Choke collar? choking dog? she wont move, what to do?
i just bought a choke collar for my 2 puppies, they just turned 4 months old,i was trying to leash train them with just a normal nylon collar,puppy #1 will do just about ok,he will cry but will catch up quick an follow,puppy #2 just wont move she cries a lot and jumps all the time and bites the leash and sometimes whe i try to calm her she will bite me,she prefers to lay down and no walk, bought the choke collar and tried it with both,no problems with puppy #1,puppy #2 again will rather choke to death than walk..am i hurting the puppy?she again will bite the leash and whoever/whatever comes near her...what to do? i tried the choke collar because i have been reading a book about training dogs and is one of the options,they had done great with commands they know how to sit and lie down...they get it but it is just the leash thing that is kind of hard right now... sorry lay down!

.I would NEVER recomend a choke on dogs that young.Pups have tender throats,and missused a choke can cause severe throat damage.I would recomend a good book on training,that will show you the proper way to leash train a dog WITHOUT a choke chain.Choke's are overused,because people think they are a magic answer to make training easier.With proper training most all dogs can be trained properly on a regular collar.Choke's should be used as a last resort,and on the advice of a proffesional trainer.

Q. Apbt and dog fighting laws?
ok, i have a female apbt. yesterday i was walking her(on a leash) around my duplex complex. well i took her in the field right behind the complex. their where these little girls that had a male boston terrier(off leash) and they where about 25-30 feet away from me. well i was going to out my dog back in the house when out of now where the boston terrier starts running start toward us and the hair on his back was standing up. i've seen the dog around before and he seemed aggressive, so i garbed my dog by the collar and stood in front of her. when he came up to me and my dog he was trying to jump in her face and i kept yelling for the girls to please come get their dog. the dog started growling and my dog started growling back. that's when finally an adult came to the the boston terrier. my dog is well trained and get along good with other dogs. she wouldn't have touched the other dog. i'm very surprised she growled back... their seem to be a lot of lose dogs running around here since spring hit. and some do seem to be aggressive. i have called the dog shelter about some lose dogs a few weeks ago but nothing was done. my question is if my dog does get into a fight with another dog what are the consequences?? i plan on buying her a muzzle just in case something like this happens again...but i just can't get the incident out of my head... every one keeps saying that my dog would be put down because she is an apbt...i don't think that's true... i don't plan on walking her in that field anymore but just out of curiosity what would the out come be if she did get into a fight with another dog?

If your dog is on leash and the other dog is off leash - legally you are in the right IF there are leash laws. It's harder if leash laws don't exist. Realistically, regardless of leash laws, especially if the dog attacked is an off-leash small dog, their would be a neighborhood witch hunt to get rid of your vicious Pit Bull because people think "That little dog was no threat to your big dog, so your dog had no right to defend itself". It's idiotic as dogs don't think that way - they are being challenged, often even attacked, and they respond. It's extremely aggravating, but the fact is that the large dog is always blamed by most people because the smaller dog was just being "cute" or "gutsy" and owners think that aggression in small dogs is funny (until they get bitten). You need to keep protecting your dog. Some breeds like Pits, or my Siberians and Akitas, your dog will always be on the losing end in the publicity compaign not matter how justified the attack is or whether you are in the right legally.

Q. Would you put a dog like this to sleep?
he bites people in his family if he gets angry he attacks some strangers but is alright with others he constantly humps other dogs and gets into fights even though he is neutered he is originally from a puppy mill he spent 2 months with a professional trainer with no results he has relapses in his training and reverts back to his puppy ways of house soiling, screaming and jumping he is 3 years old and 30 pounds this is my dog and i have trained and trained and trained but it seems hopeless. i do not want to put him to sleep though because he is like my baby. and no i did not buy him from a puppy mill! he was a rejected puppy from a pet store and i got him at the humane society when he was 6 months old. is there anything i can do? the only other option i can see is to train him with a shock collar. (everything up to this point has been positive reinforcement training)

yes I would in a heart beat. That dog sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. If you train him with a shock collar he will behave only when the collar is on. When you take it off he will be just as aggressive as before. Or maybe the shock collar will make it worse. If he was deemed un-trainable by a professional then there is no way you could do it. Do not feel bad about putting him to sleep. You are doing what is right. This just goes to show people why it's bad to obtain dogs from pet stores. Puppy millers do not care about the dog's temperament at all. They just care about the money. If I were you I would never adopt a dog that came from a puppy mill again.

Q. Shock collars for dogs?
has anyone used a shock collar to prevent dogs jumping up on people???? i have a german shepherd that is almost 2 years old ( 20 months to be exact ) before we got her i researched different breeders for temperament. she is not my first shepherd, i have had five in my adult life, sometimes two at a time. before we had children i schutzund trained and titled two dogs. i just want you to know that i'm not new at this. i had her signed up for puppy classes before we even got her! our problem is that she is overly hyper, she jumps on everyone to the point where she is knocking them over, she's about 80 lbs. ive tried just about everything that i can think of. i have been to three different training facilities. at school she is perfect, actually winning awards. at home she is a totally different dog. i have three older children (19, 16 & 13) she get's plenty of walking and play time. when someone comes to the door she will jump on them and just not let up. we've tried ignoring by turning our back and that seems to wind her up more. i've tried the pinch / prong collar with a correction but that doesn't phase her. i've tried treats and other distractions but she will even ignore the food in order to jump up on someone. i use friends to come over and ring the door bell to "practice' being a good dog, but it hasn't worked. no one in our family wants to keep this dog except me. i can't give up on her. i've been thinking of buying a shock collar. has anyone used it for jumping? ok i've read all of the answers but i was asking if anyon has used this type of collar! we have tried keeping her on a leash and stepping on it if she jumped, as soon as we let go she starts to jump up on people. i had her on a leash for over an hour and as soon as i dropped the leash she jumped up on my 76yr old mother. i forgot to mention that my son runs 5 miles every morning with her. every evening i take her for a 3.4 mile walk, if the weather is too cold, she uses a treadmill. she actually likes the treadmill, she will go and sit on it waiting for someone to turn it on!

Shock collars are cruel, and shouldnt be used on a dog. Have you ever taken a shock collar, and tested it out on your arm or something? I did it, to test it out for myself, and ill tell you, When you do something like that, youll see how cruel it really is.

Q. Would this persuade you if you were my mum to get me a dog.?
please could i have a dog ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! please read this i have spent a lot of time on this: dont just ignore it please read it. i want a dog more than you want to win the lottery. i would do anything for a dog. i would even kill myself but then i wouldnt be alive too see my dog. i would buy everything except of course the dog because i would need a little bit of help paying for it. i would buy the collar food, food bowls and everything like that. i luv billy so much and i would luv to have one of my own. please mum i am begging you soooooo much. i would walk it everyday , feed it everyday, train it and play with it. oh my god i want it soo much. i have done soo much research on the breed of dog i want that my head is soon going to explode. if you dont think that i can look after a dog why dont you take me to an animal shelter and let me have one of their dogs for a week or something like that or ask shaun if we could look after billy for a week jut to show you what i can do. or ask dawn if we could look after toby for a week. i know how to teach a dog to sit, stay, lay, beg, paw, fetch, jump, and loads more. if you dont believe me like i said let me look after a dog for my self. keeping a dog for a pet and companion is fun to do. though it seems that there isn't much about keeping dogs for a pet, it actually takes more than feeding, grooming and keeping your dog happy. there is even a lot of thinking involve the way you train them and keep them fit. aside from the daily nutritional needs of your pet, you also have to make sure that they have their regular check ups. choosing the breed of dog you would love to keep involves thinking. and if you are the type of person who would like to be keeping a dog for life, then looking at specific areas of concern other than how a dog looks have to be considered. ask yourself important questions first and whether you can be capable and worthy to be called a responsible pet owner. but what about boxers? what about them? these are dogs that doesn't are considered as guard dogs for they symbolize strength, agility and awareness when strangers are around. they are highly recommended for security purposes. if you are eager to make sure that an attentive pet is around for you, boxers are a great choice. during world war i, boxer dogs were used as military dogs. primarily, a boxer dog's task was to be the guard dog but other military works such as being the messenger and attack dog was also common. because of this, their strong and athletic physique remains incumbent up to now. these dogs physical attributes have made this breed important in aspects where help is important. throughout history, the boxer had been counted on for jobs such as, other than being in the military, guide dogs for the blind, herd dogs (usually for sheep and cattle), and even as police dogs. in domesticating a boxer, it is important not to deprive them of their physical activities. any dog needs physical exercises. walking at the park is one simple way to do this but a boxer dog would appreciate it if you run alongside them. this isn't only to maintain the athletic state that your boxer has, but, it's most valuable to maintain their health in good state. keeping a boxer dog for a pet involves a lot of work but it doesn't mean that it's not fun. just like us, these dogs have their own needs and it goes out to all the other breed of dogs in the world. i will help around the house, be well behaved and do well in school if you would get me a dog! * you dont know how much i want a dog * !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i want one soo much. i wont get bored after a few months i swear !!!!!! a dog will be my friend thats there all the time. please mum its all i have ever wanted !"!!!! i wont ask for anything else in my life if u got me a dog !!!

why are you all criticising her as she has said she will be responsible for training playing and looking after the dog ok saying she Will kill herself is a bit ott but she is young and perhaps lonely did anyone think of that she has already offered to look after one for a week give her a break if i was her mom i would let her try and see how she does
