My dog targets younger dogs at our local dog park - HELP!

Q.  My 16 month old german shepherd is desexed and targets younger dogs at our local dog park, aggressively chasing them down.  This causes distress to the dog owner, their dog and to myself.

My Maremma is getting a bit aggressive.....

Q.  I am after some help.  I have a Maremma dog, she is great with our kids and grandkids.  However, I am finding that when people drop over she is getting a bit aggressive with her barking.  She goes right up to them barking and when she is in that zone she sometimes won't listen or back down.  She is very quiet by nature, even though it may not sound that way.  I am thinking of trying a training collar to get her to stand down.  When she is in that zone I thought this may help make her listen.

My dog is intelligent and has "Selective Hearing" and only comes when he wants

Q.  Hi, I have a working dog breed that picks and chooses when to come when called. Certain places he can be great, but the places he knows that when he gets called and he is going to be put away, he doesn't come to me. I realise that some people would say well do lots of calling and patting and don't put him away. But hes so intelligent he just knows and I feel like he needs to learn to come when called no matter the scenario.

Should I introduce a Remote Training Collar with a Husky?

Q.  I am just after some advice on your remote control training collars.  I have a husky and a swiss shepherd and can walk the shepherd off leash but not my husky.  He constantly pushes his boundaries and will take off running if given the chance as is pretty typical of his breed.  If I go after him it becomes a game which he loves so I have to casually walk in the direction he is going and intercept him to catch him or get him to chase me.

A Remote Training Collar for a 12 month old Kelpie

Q.  Hi, I am looking for a remote collar for a 12 month kelpie.  It is to use for behavioural issues like continuous barking when on the back of the ute and snapping the air when cars go past.  She is biting at the other dogs chain in frustration when on the ute.  We have tried several methods to stop her, but she is a typical kelpie and gets way too excited to calm down to even make her see what she is doing wrong.

Do you offer rentals for Dog Training Collars?

Q.  Just wondering if you do a rental for the static remote dog training collars, like you do with the bark collars? Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

A.  Hi,  The short answer is no we do not.  There is an important reason behind this.  We recommend that with any dog training collar work you need an introduction period of the dog wearing the collar without you even using the handset.
