I'm interested in hearing at what age do you start kenneling or chaining your pups at? I've got a pup that flips out if she's left in a kennel but is perfectly fine if left alone in the yard. My yard is not huge and she'll actually spend time in the kennel if the door is left open. She only freaks out if the kennel door gets shut. I Don't mind her being out in the yard but would like the option to kennel her when I'm not at home but she raises so much he'll that the neighbors are getting pissed. Should I put a bark collar on her or just leave her out and try again once she's older? She'll be 4mths old mid July. Let me know your thoughts. The kennel I put her in is 20x6 so it's not like I'm putting her in a small area

Yup she's safe left out. The only problem is she tends to go to the kennels and bark at the other dogs.

I would kennel her and use a bark collar...pups are smart...if you come to them when they are raising cane they will raise cane because they know you are coming...
I break a pup in by putting them up at feeding time and walk away while they feed...keeps them from barking...I also leave an old pair of sweaty socks I used that day tied in a knot so the pup can have a security blanket/toy with my smell on it...I don't give any attention if the pup is barking for my attention...I walk into the garage or house and ignore the pup...I only walk up and let the pup out when it is acting right (not barking)...if the pup barks some while I am walking up I just try to hurry and get there pretty quick so the pup won't bark as much...also a bark collar will work...good luck...

Even at 4 months you should be able to get a handle on the barking....a little red rider therapy may be in order

Yeah she shuts up the minute she sees me but I'm not always around. I think the bark collar might be best. That way she's corrected by it opposed to be corrected by me.

I start leash trianing about 4 months very basic stuff and I don't feed them if they don't go to there bowl and sit it just gives them a better handle I don't mind my dogs barking to much at home if they get to rowdy I will shake the red Ryder seems to help on a chain when they been leash trained

Now thats funny  Do u have another young dog or older dog that u can kennel her with to help with braking her of the senceless barking? The red ryder is very effective. If mine are barking n i cant see what it is, just opening the patio door will shut a couple up n a shake of the bb gun works on the rest n the dont even see it. |

hey Rueben you don't worry about your dogs messing with skunks after leaving your dirty socks in the kennel with them when their young ? lol just kidding . works for new pups...they get to smell your feet...therefore they can track you down in the woods when they get lost...   only if it is a new pup...I want it to smell me 24/7 and it is kind of like a security blanket... if one goes to quiet the pup by walking out to the kennel when it is barking...we might see it that way...but the pup will see it a different way...the pup thinks that the louder it barks and raises cane the sooner you will go out and give it attention...ignoring the pup at the right times is helpful...l also let the pup run loose before feeding and this also gives the pup time to tire out some...call it to kennel or to the chain when you have food and maybe a treat to get it to come running...common sense goes a long ways...training to leash I have a swivel snap on a 2.5 foot chain that I attach to the collar and let the pup run in the yard just dragging it...then when the pup is used to it I pick it up and let the pup smell a treat in my hand...this takes the focus off the leash and the pup will follow....do not use force or resistance...drop the chain if need and try again the next day...real easy when we make the right moves...or you can stake the pup out on a chain...more than one way to skin a cat... |

I put my pups on a black bungee cord hooked to a stack less of a jolt and they quit bucking around quicker then praise them when they settle down if they act up I walk away once they get it down in to the kennel they go usually no problems then works for me anyway

I put her in the kennel with an older dog and put the bark collar on her. It took a few hits from the collar but I haven't heard a peep out of her in the last few hours. Thanks for all the advice!
