    Why should I stop my dog expressing himself ? After all, he enjoys the right of free speech !

    Your dog has different ways of communicating : through sound, it is true, but also by sight, touch and smell, which are even more important. Barking is not true language. That is why you are not depriving him of speech by controlling his barking. Your dog has many other ways of communicating his emotions to you (by mimicking, postures, caresses).

    Is punishment more effective than reward ?

    No !
    Effective punishment must be unpleasant to the dog and administered systematically at the time of the misdeed, which is extremely restricting. The dog must always be within reach at the right moment, otherwise the punishment is quite useless! Reward, on the other hand, does not need to be systematic, and gives better results during training.

    That is why it is better to surprise the dog during his misdeed (without punishing him) and reward him as soon as he is good again.

    If a dog has done something wrong while you are away, should I punish him when you come back ?

    No !
    A dog lives strictly in the present: a few seconds after his misdeed, he has already forgotten about it.
    The only way to train him is to catch him in the act. If the master acts a few minutes later, the dog does not understand the reason for his anger. The action is therefore both ineffective and stressful for the dog! When the dog has a guilty look, the true reason is that he senses his master's dissatisfaction. A dog is extremely sensitive to attitudes (posture, gestures of annoyance, and so on), and he fears punishment to come. So when he slinks away into a corner with his ears down, he is reacting to the attitude of his master and not to what he has done himself.

    A dog must be shown when he has done something wrong, so that he learns who is master.

    No !
    The dog must not see his master act, otherwise he may associate his presence with the prohibition. In other words, he will learn to be good when the master is present, but not when he is absent...

    The solution consists in creating an effect of surprise, at a distance, without the dog seeing his master. For this purpose, a remote controlled spray collar is now available. What must not be forgotten is to reward the dog warmly when he is good again!

    Basically, a spray collar is still nothing more than a remote controlled punishment collar, like the electric shock and ultrasonic collars !

    No !
    The spray collar is genuinely on its own among training collars that can be operated at a distance. The spray collar is the first new-generation radio-controlled device to use the disruptive stimulus. It should on no account be compared with the older generation of punishment products. The major differences are:
  • its efficiency (in comparison with ultrasonic collars, which have a success rate no higher than 30%)
  • its harmlessness (in comparison with electric shock collars, which can increase the anxiety or aggressiveness of dogs).
