| Re: shock collar
I would never use that collar, i want the dog to listen to me not the collar. With my last dog this only happen once. When he growled at me, i didnt had time to think, in half a second my hand magicaly flew in to the air and slaped him HARD on his had. He was 5 years old and i never hit him before that, he forgot about food and was very ashamed. He never growled at me after that incident. H/w i dont advise you to do the same, i dont know your dog, and with my dog it was for the first time, he didnt got the time to make it a habit.
Im no expert, im sure some ppl in here can help you better, but if you say he listen to you quite well you can try this: put the food down where he eats and when he comes tell him to sit and wait. Dont let him touch the food for like 60 seconds than allow him to eat. Gradually make him wait for like 5 mins before he can eat, and do this every time you feed him. If he learns that the food is yours untill you tell him 'eat', i dont think he will try to compete with you anymore. gl  |
