My husband and I recently purchased a white German Shepherd. Shes quite a selection and 12 weeks old today. Sometimes she can be so sweet, but other times shes actually quite horrible. Well, I do not know if harsh may be the right word, however when I tell her No she only gets more agitated and lunges at me with her teeth bared. I got a small pinch collar because shes a pet but Ive a question concerning how it will match. Its tight aga.. when I get 2 prongs out. Hi, Adam My partner and I recently purchased a white German Shepherd. Shes 12-weeks old to-day and a significant number. Often she can be so nice, but other times shes actually very vicious. Well, I do not know if horrible may be the right word, however when I tell her No she only gets more agitated and runs at me with her teeth bared. I got a tiny pinch collar since shes a dog but I have a question as to how it will fit. When I take 2 prongs out it is warm against her neck and I be worried about it being too limited. It sort of slides down her neck slightly and it circles around her neck and she regularly scratches at it and does not stay-put, when I only get 1 prong out. That is the proper fit? She is a truly selection and I think the touch collar is a superb instrument, but I want to be sure it fits right in order to not cause her any discomfort. You say in the book that you should be able to slide fifty per cent of a finger within, but I suppose Im just confused regarding how you should choose the match. Please help I am afraid my time is running out to have her to start obeying me. She does not see me because the Alpha dog quite yet and its very annoying to be with her for long periods of time. When I say Duchess, come she only comes when she feels like it. With the crunch collar, whats the easiest way to make sure she comes each and every time I call her? I dont want to get around taking on her throat, but in the same time she has to respect me. Any recommendations you can provide me o-n ensuring she sees me as the manager would-be beneficial Thanks, Cassidy Expensive Cassidy When I reference fifty per cent of a finger space regarding the proper fitting of the pinch collar, what I mean is - If the average persons hand is inch wide, then there should be aproximately inch of area between the conclusion of the prong and the skin of the dogs throat. So, why dont I recently say, 1/4 inch of space? Because it is better to judge by sticking your finger underneath the prong than its to use your old senior high school leader. Many of you newsletter customers are undoubtedly wondering why Id recommend a touch collar for a dog. And my answer is Im perhaps not. At least perhaps not for some puppies. But there are a few puppies wholl not respond to an easy diversion or verbal, No. Theyll bite and cause puncture wounds on your legs and arms if theyre not adjusted for this behavior. So, in case you have tried another options for coping with pet taking that Ive discussed in the guide, then youll need to progress to a small pinch collar. Also described in-the book. But arent they too young for a pinch collar? youre probably thinking. The clear answer is No. They ARE too small for formal obedience training. I.E., Sit, Down, Come, Heel, Stay. When you begin to see the adult teeth come in.. [this must begin. at approximately 4-to 5 weeks of age.] But a pet OUGHT to be adjusted for biting... In case you have unearthed that diverting his awareness of a chew toy or another task isnt working. Why? Because the mother dog would not allow the dog to bite her. If the puppy attacks her too much, she will turn and bite the neck. From your puppies perception, THIS HURTS. Nonetheless it doesnt cause injury. And thats why the dog decides never to bite the mama dog anymore. Since it doesnt feel good. This is the same reason it is ok to fix a dog for extremely hard biting with the crunch collar. The touch collar replicates the mama dog. Trust me on this Ive observed 11 week-old Rottweiler puppies and 10 week-old Jack Russell Terrier puppies whod bitten through practically their owners fingers making use of their needle-like teeth. The owners are very nearly in tears with-the indisputable fact that they could have to set their pet to sleep. They have tried all the waste your read in the dog magazines. Stuff like shrieking in a voice. Or getting the puppy in the cage. Or turning your straight back to the dog. But none of it works on a dog who is intent on biting down as hard as they can on your delicate, human flesh. Getting back on course... Once you correct the puppy, only use common sense. Simply because your car can accelerate as much as 140mph does not mean that you should or must get that fast. To discover more, consider glancing at 500 Service Unavailable Error. The same goes for the crunch collar. If you are an adult and you can employ reason and good sense, then you should be able to tailor the power of your correction to correctly match your dogs temperament. How would you do this? You test. If you correct the pet for biting, then next you should immediately offer him your hand again. If he straight away hits you again... You then now realize that your correction was not significant. Thats all for the time being, people Adam.
