Shih Tzu Dog Teaching – How To Control Woofing
Shih Tzu training means controlling some behavior that is tough to get at. Excess barking could be one activity that’s terribly hard to stop. Here’s one way that can work for you and your pet.
Excess barking by any dog very seldom bothers a dog. It irritate owners and neighbors too, regularly about to the breaking point. This is one of those problems that call for real planning.
Often the cause for the barking can be discovered with some observation and thought. It may be as simple as just loneliness or boredom. In either case, additional time spent with a dog may lead to additional quiet for you.
Remember that some dogs just bark a lot. All dogs bark, it’s just when it goes on and on that it becomes a major nerve rattler.
One way to communicate to a pet the noise is undesired with a training collar. The citronella spray collar could be a great choice. Actually preferable to an electrical collar which seems to be a fairly bad idea for one or two reasons;
This is how a citronella collar works.
Citronella oil has got this haggard sweet odor that even works as a bug repellent. Not dangerous, it actually presents an offensive smell. I will try to imagine how stinky it has got to be to dogs with smelling capability way beyond ours.
The collar encompasses a sensor to detect barks, a reservoir for the oil and then a spray unit. All this fits in a tiny box with an on / off switch.
Turn it on and here’s what occurs. As quickly as the dog barks, the collar sprays this cloud of mist right below the dogs jaw. Not an electric shock results, it does produce a surprise that can border on surprising.
Our dog when presented with this device barked once, then a second time and then got quiet to consider the matter.
Those two barks were actually all it took for Belle to get the point. Not that she ever barks now. Why she even barely wears the collar now. She quickly got the idea that excess barking was a very bad idea. So the collar now is on reserve for an occasional reminder that barking should be done in moderation.
Shih Tzu dog training regularly can profit from the use of one or two tools. It could be a citronella collar may be a handy tool in your box of tricks.
