sound collars?

Question

what would you recommend for training a puppy? i am not going to training classes as they are to much money. please tell me what you would recommend. i am looking to spend 10-40 dollars. thank you

Answer 1

what I would recommend time and knowledge. Do some research on effective ways to train the breed of puppy that you have and spend time on it. Its Free. I was able to train my 1 year old pit mix many tricks with this method

Answer 2

If you mean "sound" as in practical, humane and effective, I suggest a martingale or regular buckle collar. If your dog pulls a lot, you might use an Easy Walk harness, Sensation harness, or Gentle Leader instead.

If you mean "sound" as in a collar that makes a sound to correct the dog, I don't know much about them, but I would be surprised if you can get one for less than $40.

The harnesses and collars I suggested are usually available for $25 or less. Use the rest to buy Positive Puppy Training Works by Joel Walton, Puppy Primer by Patricia McConnell, or Before and After Getting Your Puppy by Dr. Ian Dunbar. All have great info on training.

Answer 3

most training classes are only 75.00 and if you cant spend that amount of money what are you going to do if the pet ever has an emergency? you are responsible for all vet bills for this dog and if you cant afford trainig what will you do? if you cant take care of the dog financially dont have one. they depend on you for their health care. i think training a dog is a must, especially for awell behaved dog. trained dogs are happy dogs because the owners are happy and they are easy to manage. starting young is best. you dont want to neglect the training because this is something they will need to know the rest of their life. especially the "come" cammand. just imagine if you are walking the dog and it gets away from you somehow around a busy street, you will want to make sure he knows come so that he doesnt get hit. you will wish you had done ythe training then. and also, if you try to train at home and have no experience, you could do it wrong and permantly damage the dog..not physically but to where the correct training wont work. please save up and do training classes by a professional dog trainer. not petsmart or something like that but by someone who does this all day everyday..and stay away from someone who does it in their backyard.

I once had an elderly lady for a friend. She had a wonderful little dog. A mix of some sort. She had the dog trained well and it behaved very well. Learn here https://tr.im/byqI8

She kept an uncovered candy dish on her coffee table with candy in it. The dog was forbidden to eat the candy. When she was in the room observing the dog he did not even appear to notice the candy. One day while she was in her dinning room she happened to look in a mirror and could see her dog in the living room. He did not know he was being watched. For several minutes he was sitting in front of the candy bowl staring at the candy. Finally he reached in and took one. He placed it on the table and stared at it, he woofed at it. He stared some more, licked his chops and PUT IT BACK in the bowl and walked away. Did he want the candy, oh yeah. Did he eat it? Nope. They can be trained that well but most, I'll admit, are not trained that well. When I was a young boy, maybe 5 years old. We had a german shepherd. He was very well trained also. My mom could leave food unattended on the table, no problem. She would open the oven door and set a pan roast beef or roast chicken on the door to cool. No problem. He would not touch it, watched or not. But butter? Whole other story. You leave a stick of butter anywhere he could reach and it was gone. He was a large shepherd so there were not many places he could not reach. Really, I think the number of dogs trained to the point they will leave food alone when not being supervised is very small indeed.
.
Now if we are talking obedience training, not food grubbing, that is a different story. Way back when I was first learning obedience training one of the final exercises was to put our dogs in a down/stay and not only leave the room but leave the building for 15 minutes. The only person that stayed was our trainer, not the owners. Most of the dogs in my class did not break their stay, which would be an automatic fail. I'm happy to report my dog was one of the ones that passed.

Answer 5

If you are trying to train a dog that is an incessant barker to quiet down, the sonic collar, available at Wal Mart for about $35 is a good training tool. I have used it for rescue dogs, and have loaned it to friends, all with good success...the collar makes a high pitched buzz on the second bark, which increases in volume with each successive bark...It has never traumatized our dogs, and it doesnt put a total halt on barking, but only the kind of barking, where they just seem to love the sound of their own voice..It takes the fun out of it..

Warning..unless you get a more expensive one, the WalMart ones short out when they get wet, and keep buzzing!

Answer 6

You get what you pay for. Stop being cheap with your dog and take him to PetSmart for dog obedience. The $100 will be well worth it. If you don't train the dog, you could be looking at over $100 in damage that it could cause in the house or if you don't train it to come, it could get hit by a car.

Answer 7

It's really hard to find a dog $40 or under. You have to save up more money. Dogs cost a lot. Add up vet, food, water, and anything else the dog may need

Answer 8

Buy a book about training your dog and it will tell you everything you need to know.
