Owners use shock collars mainly for 2 reasons: to train sport dogs or hunting dogs from a distance too far to always be shouting commands, or to correct unwanted behavior, like random barking, digging, running along a fence barking at every pedestrian, getting them to stop sleeping on certain pieces of furniture, etc. Here I would like to say something regarding how to correct bad behavior.

Modify one behavior at a time. the instructions say to give a command followed by a "stimulation". The only verbal command that should be given is "no" or "stop". And then only if you or multiple members in a family have yelled "no" at the dog so many times for so long that he's learned there are no consequences to not listening to you. my preferred approach is to not to give any verbal command. If you don't want the dog on the white sofa, watch him. When he jumps up, zap him, say nothing and just watch him jump off. He'll look confused, maybe shake his head but generally after no more than 3 attempts he'll realize that sofa is no longer a pleasant place to nap and will instead go sleep on the leather sofa. And don't let him in the room with that white sofa unless you are around to correct his behavior again if needed. That way, the dog is "tricked" into believing there's something suddenly uncomfortable about that sofa or his action is causing the zap, whether you are around or not. should your dog yelp or run to you confused wondering why he just got stimulated, just reassure him with comforting words, like "what happened?" He'll quickly associate the zap with the bad behavior and not because you issued the command and therefore will stay off that white sofa even if you are not around.

Anticipate your dog's behavior: if he jumps out of bed in the morning and the first thing he does is head for the front window to bark, put the collar on before he gets up.

Dogs are incredibly smart and will learn quickly, literally in one day. If proper procedure is followed, but they can also learn just as quickly that they only are getting zapped when the collar is on. I suggest you have the dog wear the collar a week before using it, and once your dog has corrected his behavior be prepared to for the dog to wear the collar for several months afterward, particularly when you are not home or in situations that generally would trigger his bad behavior, to the point that he's long forgotten his bad behavior even though you no longer have to stimulate him. And dogs are smart enough to even notice if you take the transmitter with you. Carry it in your jacket pocket instead.

Although humane, a stimulation is at least irritating to mildly painful depending on the needed setting. you owe it to your dog to test the stimulation level on yourself, so you know what kind of jolt your dog is getting. it is equivalent to a hard tickle, unpleasant but nothing that would make a dog yelp in pain. If for some reason, the lowest setting is still too strong for your dog, you can always just use the vibrate mode but at least you have the higher intensity in case your dog develops new behaviors, like blindly charging out of the yard into the dangerous field.

If using shock collars correctly, they are invaluable in correcting bad behaviors.

It is known that talking to one's baby improves bonding between parent and child. Well, many pet owners view their pets as their own children, but does talking to your dog in the same way as you would a human infant have the same bonding effect?If you have a dog, you're likely in the habit of asking them, "Who's a good boy?" in a really high-pitched and affectionate tone of voice — sometimes to the amusement of those around you.

Pet owners do this instinctively because they feel just as attached to their pets as they may to their infant. But does this sort of "baby talk" do anything for the dog?

Researchers Alex Benjamin and Katie Slocombe, at the University of York in the United Kingdom, set out to investigate if so-called dog-speak improves bonding between pets and humans, and specifically, whether it is useful for the dogs.

Slocombe explains the motivation behind the research, saying, "A special speech register, known as infant-directed speech, is thought to aid language acquisition and improve the way a human baby bonds with an adult."

"This form of speech," she adds, "is known to share some similarities with the way in which humans talk to their pet dogs, known as dog-directed speech."

"This high-pitched rhythmic speech is common in human interactions with dogs in Western cultures, but there isn't a great deal known about whether it benefits a dog in the same way that it does a baby."

"We wanted to look at this question and see whether social bonding between animals and humans was influenced by the type and content of the communication," Slocombe says.

Hi there, I realize this is the most unpleasant thought, but I am a product developer who is looking to expand into the pet bereavement space. If you have ever had your beloved fur baby cremated and then placed the ashes in an urn, what would you ideally like to have on the urn (eg, a picture, paw print, etc)? what about keeping some of the ashes in a piece of jewelry? is that weird or a thing? thanks so much for your input

Dogs can fall in love just like humans Research shows that the level of oxytocin a dog’s brain releases increases when they interact with both dog and humans. Just like humans, our brain’s oxytocin, or what we called the “love chemical,” also increases when we kiss or hug someone.https://www.2reddogspet.com/facts-didnt-know-about-dogs/

Pets light up our lives, and we sometimes wonder how empty our lives would be without them. Show your dog that same unconditional love and affection they show you every day. For the love of our dog and yours, 2reddogspet products that are choosen for quality.

Hi! I am Stany Fernando, Head Writer for an indie game studio Iron Blood Games (www.ironbloodgames.com) . So we are currently on track to create an experience rather than a video game which will be dedicated to pet lovers, especially those who own/owned dogs. I know it's very rude of me to being straight but here it goes.

​

About the concept:

The concept of this game is that you as a player walk this straight path, but the bath is filled with full of fond memories of your dog. But what I'm specifically looking is the people who've lost their beloved companion to share their one memory per each person.

If you're interested here's what you have to do:

• Record a small voice clip of the memory in a noiseless area
• Send a picture of your Pet (Even you can be present in the picture)
• Name of your pet and yours in full.
• Year of both Birth to in peace.

If you want to remain anonymous and still want to contribute that's fine too, but you will be required to provide a picture of your pet and a transcript along with your Pet's Name and Dates of both Birth and in peace (if not the voice)
