[@gregflora7995]

I have been working with my 4 month old black lab and all your help is appreciated. Pink Gun

[@andrewhotzman5502]

This is perfect timing as this has become an issue. Keep them coming, PINK GUN!!!!!!

[@babadeedee214]

Just got my first bark collar and your info was stellar! Thank you! I liked and subscribed. 👍🏻 PS How did YOU know my dog ran up and down the fence line driving the neighbors crazy?? lol!!

[@diceflawless9115]

Oh shit! Its Mark Wahlberg!

[@jakemikels1338]

Great video once again guys! Keep em coming

[@sophiedrew1251]

This is probably the best info about collars I have found - and I have been looking for a while - makes great sense. ! Thank you. Was considering citronella -however will not go down that path. i get it is worth spending a bit on a good collar and not F*** around.

[@AnnHeineck]

Just ordered the YS600 I’m in great hopes this works!!!! 🤞🤞

[@peterpengau]

does it work?

[@hstanky]

Recommended I log in to your site from standing stone kennels

[@jackiebiniecki8854]

Thank you this was helpful!

[@TheCashiron]

Thanks for the video man, it was insightful! The citronella ones feel like they are equivalent to us humans getting pepper sprayer or maced. I don't like getting shocked, but I sure as heck would take that over getting maced!

[@loneduckoutfitters]

interesting. i once used it on myself (to test it, which is wild, i know) and it didn't feel like pepper spray. it was just uncomfortable and smelled bad.

Pink Gun!

keep the videos coming! pink gun!

[@debinindiana]

Thanks…nice explanations!

[@kellipuryear995]

How young would you recommend using a bark collar? Should I wait until my dog is collar conditioned to recall. This would be his first introduction otherwise. pink gun

[@loneduckoutfitters]

I think I’m ok with using a bark collar before formal collar conditioning. I do it all the time with new dogs in our kennel and never had an issue

[@colegerold7862]

Curious do you use dogtra for all your training collars? Training a black lab on one right now. Found your channel from the pink gun. Super excited for some high quality duck related videos as it’s the majority of what I do. Going to do Patreon? Count me in.

[@loneduckoutfitters]

Thank you buddy! Truly appreciate it. Yes to dogtra and yes (soon) to patreon

[@abrahaminvirginia5435]

What in your opinion is the main difference between a Chesapeake Bay Retriever and a Lab? When it comes to both hunting and family dog. I have heard Chesapeake Bay Retrievers are more stubborn and harder to train. Less loving of strangers than labs. Any thoughts, an idea for a video. Thank you Pink Gun!!

[@loneduckoutfitters]

Great question- we can definitely do a video on it!

[@Blum8925]

What about excited barking when working baseball drill? Not sure if it’s confusion barking or just excited. Should I add a bark collar to add to the confusion. Not sure what to do. Or How to stop it.

[@vanessacenters9971]

I have an incessant car whiner, will a bark collar correct for this?

[@dinob8736]

Yes

[@Emily0711]

Do you recommend this even for dogs just in family homes (not working dogs) we have a 5 mo old golden that barks anytime we put it outside (for a break or to use the bathroom) just sits at the door and barks and is barking and nipping all the time at our kids...

[@loneduckoutfitters]

hey emily! yes, it'd work for your golden. that said, it sounds like there might be more to this than just the dog barks. i'd be interested to hear how much you really really work the dog so it can burn physical and mental energy to calm itself. taking the dog for a walk once or twice a day isn't enough for some dogs. that dog might need to go to the park and run off leash for a half hour or go hiking or do some training to mentally tire them out. long story short, yes, a bark collar would help here but there's maybe something deeper to help your dog be more happy, successful and enjoyable to be around.

[@chadwinbarley1209]

Do you start at lowest setting or highest first?

[@carsonwood5824]

Would a YS600 work for a long haired German shepherd who doesn’t feel other bark collars when he barks

[@loneduckoutfitters]

call up dogtra and talk with them, they'll help you. i know you can get longer parts to parse through the dogs fur and make a connection. that said, it might be that you need the collar more snug, too. either way, call up dogtra and their crew will be able to talk you through what you need.

[@fordismyname1]

Just ordered the ys600 for my pup she will be getting e collar training in a couple weeks but he said I can start early on her now to get her use to it. Any ideas or tips for a pup?

[@loneduckoutfitters]

i'd first want to know how old the dog is and if it really is a pup, there's other ways to teach the puppy to be quiet rather than forcing it. the ys600 is a great tool but must be used correctly

[@jesseobrien5864]

My Chihuahua is barking when I leave. I'm going to have to rehome her if it doesn't stop. I'm disabled and leave for school and she goes bat shit crazy. I'll pay the premium price. Thanks.

[@girlnpointer2741]

How are the dogtra bark collars with whining? Will them stim for whining or no?

[@loneduckoutfitters]

depends on how loudly they whine. sometimes it wont but if they whine and whimper and yip a little then yes

[@RetrieverTrainingAlone]

Bark collars are fairly controversial among some pro retriever trainers. For example, Pat Burns and Evan Graham are both anti-bark collar even though they train with ecollars.

[@Autumnapricotdoodle]

Pink gun

[@ricky4898]

Do they work with whining?

[@loneduckoutfitters]

not necessarily. if the dog just kinda whimpers or is whiney, it won't catch it. they need to really yip or bark to engage the collar

[@rileymiller9945]

Wanna know how I fix a dog barking in the box…… pull over, haul off and smack the top of the box and yell hush, if that don’t work, pull over,.. get your garmin trash breaker put it on em, BLOW THERE TOE NAILS OFF.

[@Placeholder476]

Don't: Don't put the bark collar on the quiet dog, he'll kill his barky companion.

[@jeffreyrogan6333]

Better than having to take them to the pund no?

[@DuctTapenWD]

Yadda yadda yadda get to the point

[@pari_ston2005]

Does the bark collar stay on all the time? Or does the dog eventually learn to not bark and then no longer needs the collar?

[@loneduckoutfitters]

good question. don't leave the bark collar on all the time. this overuse can chafe the dog pretty bad

[@andreat8383]

They’re meant for them to be trained off of them eventually

[@Satchmoeddie]

A simple verbal, "KNOCK IT OFF", and my dogs shut the _____ up. I actually want certain dogs to bark at intruders, but NOT at the neighbor's dogs, the dogs that are not intruders. They are on the other side of that fence every day. I just use the regular E collar with the remote control. If there is a thief the dogs have cornered or the dogs have treed a chicken killing ring tailed cat, I'd like to know, and I am on it. Yapping for hours on end? NO!

[@camonly849]

My dogs don't speak English like yours. I yell and yell, correct and spray her with water....does nothing and it's her mission to bark. So I have to get one.

[@fidiusjwhoopie]

drink much????
