Dog barking that's what they do, why they are barking, that is the issue. Dogs in general just don't bark they can, there is a reason, unhappy, threatened, taunted , in pain, etc.
If you are a dog owner who doesn't worry or care if your dog barks all day, then, you also have no respect for your neighbors or even your dog
Sy vra toe omverskoning maar maak dit ook duidelik dat honde nie kan stilbly omdat ek nagskof werk nie. Sy het wel die hond se toestand verduidelik en ek aanvaar dit dat die hond nuut in die buurt is en verskrik voel. Ek het aangebied om by te dra vir medikasie vir haar hond om te kyk of dit nie sal help nie. Sy het gese sy sal die hond na ons plaaslike veearts toe vat, tot vandag toe was sy nog nie by Pieter.
Mens voel magteloos. Ek het my hele lewe gewerk om my plek mooi en gemaklik te maak en nou dit, ek is nou afgetree en vasgevang, is die uitweg Jakkals gif?
Ek het 2 Jack Russels, Ja raasgatte sal julle se, maar tog nie, hulle is van kleins af geleer...as die teef knor kan jy maar gaan kyk, iemand staan by die hek...Beide my honde word daagliks vir 'n stappie gevat, hulle gaan gereeld seetoe, word weekliks gebad en swem saam in die swembad en is deel van die huishouding. Beide my honde is reggemaak en slaap binnehuis.
Die mense wat die "probleem" honde het vat hulle nooit uit nie, hulle kry geen afleiding nie, sien nooit wat anderkant die muur is nie...en die enigste tyd dat hulle hul base sien is wanneer die kosbak by die deur uitgesit word.
I am surprised that up to now, no one has mentioned the benefits of the harmless dilution of citronella oil (chemist, not lamp oil) with water in either a spray bottle or water pistol.
Dogs don't like the smell, it does them no harm, and after two or three experiences where they get the smell, when doing something, they stop doing it (Pavlov)
I do suppose it will take a bit of effort, but it is harmless. I was instructed by my vet many years ago to use it as a training method. 5-6 drops per 100ml mix in a spray bottle, within a very short space of time it was not even necessary for the drops, just plain water worked, by Association.
What the vet was adamant about though was to only use as a deterrent for actions when needed, and to emphasize positive reinforcement far more, for good behavior.
Perhaps Poen the water pistol with a mix, might work and be humane, to allay the fears about the older generation's insensitivity
