| How long should it take to house train a Pet? It depends on several factors: your dedication, and the time you are willing to put into the training process. Other important factors include your pets maturity and intelligence. It has been proven that training is more effective when the pet is rewarded for good behavior. It is important to establish a living area for the pet as soon as you bring the pet into your home. While the pet is getting to know its new environment, it is smart to give the new family member a small space of its own. Training can begin as early as seven weeks of age.

Anxiety-based barking should first be addressed by treating the source e.g. separation anxiety of your dog's distress. When barking is a symptom of anxiety, an anti-bark collar may have the desired effect. Such collars work by sensing the bark and causing some unpleasant effect, such as an audible signal (clicking or buzzing) or electrical stimulation (shock). Another effective alternative that has recently been introduced into the pet market is a collar that briefly emits a spray of citronella oil.

Unwanted behavior is most effectively corrected at the moment it occurs. When problems occur at a distance, for example in the backyard, it's often hard for the handler to correct the behavior. A remote-control interruption device can help achieve this aim. Such a device is typically applied to the pet's collar and is controlled by the handler, who's standing a distance away. The appliance works by emitting a stimulus that distracts or punishes the pet. The stimulus is a burst of citronella spray that will interrupt the current bad behavior so the owner can direct the dog's attention to a new command, such as the "come" command. | ||

Indoor containment systems, such as the citronella-spraying Spray Barrier can effectively keep your dog or cat out of a specified area of your home. | ||
