Got the dog a remote collar and trained her as if it were an inviable fence. She only tested it twice and no longer wants anything to do with going near the fence. The other dog will even jump in and out of our back yard and my dog wont follow.
Thank you tcs.
Works just as well for wives in kitchens. You're welcome
Just an update since it's dead around here. Got the dog a remote collar and trained her as if it were an inviable fence. Walk up to the fence, zap her, then retreat to the middle of the yard. A few days of that then I let her loose while I watched from inside the house. She only tested it twice and no longer wants anything to do with going near the fence. The other dog will even jump in and out of our back yard and my dog wont follow.
I guess that can be either fun or a hassle I suppose. One of mine had a really weird howl that made it sound like she was in pain. I got some strange looks sometimes.
Oh, never heard of them. I know some dogs have a really high tolerance for pain though.
Do they make the "shiba scream" they say in the description?
Yes, they do. Chaos doesn't do it, but Daisy does it. She whimpers a lot when she gets excited and does that scream if you pick her up in the wrong spot.
Chaos behaves when he has his shock collar on cuz he's been zapped. Daisy doesn't care. You can zap her til her paws leave the ground and she'll continue on.
You'd have to catch her when she doesn't think you're there, and be there instantly. Probably going to be tough without a shock collar or something at this point because the reward is high and the other dog is roaming free. FWIW, you only have to use the shock a couple of times w/ a beeper and then usually just the beeper will be enough after that. Sometimes I think that pet stores should rent these because you'd only need it for a short while until your dog gets it down.
IMO, two yrs is a lot like a teenage kid and a time where you need to correct harder and more strict. It's tough for a dog to stand there while another walks by so I let them smell where the other dog was, especially if they are on the property. Dog are very territorial so if the other dog is on her lawn she needs to get there and mark it. If you allow her to do this she will probably cooperate more with you and be more relaxed.
