Train a dog w/ Pools

Sami looks like a buff one. Those ankle dogs are great for football season and practice punt offs or field goal kicks . Kidding what a little cutie!!

Yesterday it scared the *&^% out of me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes our pup is chained up and really get no exercise, but that is due to construction still in our yard.

So anyways,, I caught her doing it. While chained, she hopped on top of her dog house and from there try to get over a 8' privacy fence. She tried and fell.

I did not see it, but my 9 yr old son witness the crime.

But I ran outside and she could not get up on her hind legs. I was scared for the moment that she had thigh issues, but the breader assured me that his blood line of dogs will not have that issue.

Anyways,,, I ran over to her rescue, kind of picked up her hind area and she feel back down. Not even a tear or whine out of her. So I attempted again and she slowly got her strenght back. I unleased her and in about 20 secs she was running around the pool and chasing the ball. So it was not a leg issue, it was due to no exercise. I am guilty. We made coupld of walks on the leash and she pulls harder on my shoulder then a 12guage shot gun with a buck shot. She is that strong. I can't wait to get the shock collar and startworking with her. She does not deserve to be chained and I am guilty as charged

That is also why she is so hyper and will tear up your stuff. A tired dog=a good dog. We take our boxer pup (18 weeks) on two 30-minute walks every day.

Try Cesar's book "Cesar's Way" - it really helped us understand what we needed to give our dog so that the dog does what you want.

This is our baby

I can agree, but let me tell you about the shock collar I received today.

All I am going to say is wow!! With'in 1 hour my dog obeyed and even walked on leash around my pool along my side. Never ever she did that ever!!!

The shock collar works very well. Best 100.00 investment I ever did to benefit the pooch.

Is the colar waterproof. What brand did you buy?

[Pool_Mike]

yes. its waterproof.


I got the The SportDog PST-105 setup. Love it!!

Ok, this is getting bad. Our lab is constantly jumping in the pool. Looks like shock collar time once again.

Petsmart or their premium brand Innotek are the best systems. We have three siberian huskies and people always say the collars don't work on them - but out three are great on the collars. They lives outside at least 18 hours a day.

We recently bought a transmitter that works inside also. It will put out a small adjustable field and we use it to keep the dogs out of the living room.
