Training your puppy is maybe one of the hardest tasks a dog owner has. This goes especially to those of you who find it hard to train your puppy to behave well. Losing your temper in such cases isn't an option, so the best thing you can do is to invest in a puppy shock collar for barking.
Why Use Puppy Shock Collar?
When it comes to training a puppy, a puppy shock collar for barking is convenient, effective and safe to use. Practice shows that they are the most effective type of collars available on the market with a success rate of around 99%. Using one will help you teach and train your little furry friend to listen to you and become less distracted by the things around it. This is extremely important when out with it. Keeping your little pup next to you and making it behave well is one of the best things you can do for it. A collar of this kind will help you teach your dog to behave well when both on and off its leash. That way you can enjoy going out with it without having to worry that it will get stuck somewhere or that it'll bark at people.
How to Introduce It to Your Puppy?
Before introducing your little dog to a collar of this kind, first, you'll need to teach it some basic things and commands like stay still, sit, down, etc. You should also teach it how to walk with a leash on so that it can get used to the pressure coming from it especially when it starts to pull against it. Once you do that, you can introduce it to a shock collar.
At first, you should set the collar on the lowest stimulation level and see how your pup will react to it. If it doesn't feel anything, you can turn it up little by little until it starts noticing something. Make sure that your pup doesn't feel any fear or anxiety once the collar is turned on, otherwise, you risk having a completely different outcome.
Every time you use it and your pup obeys, you should reward it with a simple treat. That way, your little pup will understand the 'game' and will start behaving like it should. Once you come to this stage of training, you should slowly start weaning it off the leash until you see that it isn't useful anymore.
