The difference between a bark collar and a shock collar is that the bark collar is CONSISTENT whereas the shock collar will only be activated when you get fed up
This is not the correct use of a shock collar- I would go as far as saying it is a misuse of it- the pup has NO idea why it is being shocked. If it wants attention, at five months, for Gods sake give it attention.
I really think you need to think seriously about why you have this dog.
|Maybe you should look into rehoming her??
For the record I have two Dobes that drive me NUTS barking.
I also have a full set of shock collars but have NEVER shocked the dogs for barking.
Part of the reason I have these dogs is to protect me.
I go after them, I tell them be still and I argue with them for not obeying the command- thus , eventually, the Dog at least will understand that I require him to stop barking.
And, Yes, he is barking for attention, and because he is happy, and because he is a big, noisy dog.
I NEVER argue with him about the fact that he is barking.
I argue with him because he is not obeying my command to stop.
There is a subtle difference, but it is a very important one.
