She will remember and be safer for it. I used to hate prong collars but two of my foster dogs are so strong and pull me every which way when I try to train them to walk properly on a leash so have resorted to using it only while training. I have a house full of fosters and am trying hard to teach them basic manners to make them more adoptable and am considering all options!PKBrandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11735748513918578081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617428990857687043.post-5664928781159359542014-09-16T16:20:55.633-04:002014-09-16T16:20:55.633-04:00Our Pyrenees has a "good boy" collar.

If he's too busy misbehaving to see the collar then I turn it on and beep it. He could be across the yard, but he'll come running with a guilty look on his face when he hears it. ~JessicaJessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03874960805023276599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617428990857687043.post-73649391904332954272014-09-16T11:12:45.804-04:002014-09-16T11:12:45.804-04:00Adolesence is when most dogs end up at the pound a...Adolesence is when most dogs end up at the pound as they can be real brats, proper training and a collar like you are using is a great way to reinforce good behaviour. This is so much better than being a nuisance dog to neighbours or the skunk/porcupine ordeal or worse. We have invisible fence on our property but a porcupine encounter still happened.

Several weeks of a shock collar took care of that. Then all I had to do was put it on her. She hasn't had it on at all this year. They work wonders.

As soon as their claws hit that balloon, it pops!

It took one day. She has since taught our newer dog that chasing cats and chickens is against the rules. The only down-side----the little beep has stuck with her for 12 years. To this day, she cowers when my son's watch beeps on the hour.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14685492126157550044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617428990857687043.post-86387913604564281722014-09-16T07:50:36.986-04:002014-09-16T07:50:36.986-04:00You are doing a great job with Annie!

Sadie is currently in training to learn to not jump on people, come when called and to not rush the door when going in or out of the house. It takes so much patience on all of our parts.
