About this deal
So yes, barking IS a normal behavior and it drives me nuts when people get a sheltie or a beagle and then punish them for barking.
I’m not following through because I heard people say they throw shit at the dogs and they rely on “pack mentality” which I thought was outdated. I've been looking into local dog behaviourists and there's a Bark Burster trained behaviourist in my area.I do admire your loyalty to your trainers and willingness to speak up in an environment dominated by an opposing point of view. She showed us techniques to stop our dogs guarding us in the house and how to stop the bark progressing on a walk. In addition, as our approach is based upon how dogs communicate, we don't rely on the use of treats or lures.
Methods for suppressing behavior are conceptually familiar to most of us since we live in a punishment-based culture. My career as a dog trainer began in 2004 when I was living in London and working as a freelance journalist. Our method enables you to build a lasting, emotional bond based on trust and respect, which in turn aids in overcoming past challenges with your dog. The air horns were purchased by Bark Busters’ clients on the advice of Bark Busters’ trainers, and the penny cans were created by the clients on their advice.We believe, as you probably do too, that providing the training is humane and does not hurt the dog in any way that ‘training’ can only benefit the dog and the owners.
