W Sibs Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I think you should wait till you get your puppy before worrying about stuff like that Who know, you might have an angel of a dog who doesn't bark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

persephone Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 If you end up with a serial barker --- then you haven't done your research :p If you read enough on here and elsewhere, there is a very good chance, that by understanding your dog's needs and instincts ..you will manage the dog so that it has no need to bark.

Rebanne Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I thought you weren't getting a puppy cause you found out you were pregnant? And there are other ways to deal with a problem barker before whacking some sort of correction collar on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lavendergirl Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Sorry to hear your bad news. I was wondering about the indoor ultrasonic device myself. It seems less harsh than an actual collar that the dog wears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekhbet Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 cross that bridge if and when you get to it. I say give the whole idea a rest for a bit and look after yourself, then worry about a puppy ;) Don't buy gadgets unless you need them or you will end up with an empty wallet in no time!

RubyStar Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 If you end up with a serial barker --- then you haven't done your research :p Sorry to hear abour your miscarriage I still see you're keen on getting a Labrador puppy. Of course there are exceptions, but to go with the quote above, Labradors are not known to be serial barkers. They don't tend to bark for no reason. I have one Lab who I very rarely hear her bark, even when she's aroused. She once almost sighed a woof at me in frustration when we were training The other barks at random stuff but she doesn't bark her head off. So I don't really class Labs as "barky" dogs. But as I said, there are exceptions, before I get others jumping on me that theirs does in fact bark! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebanne Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 sorry about the miscarriage but what happens to your puppy, if you get one, when you fall pregnant again? seeing as how you gave up the idea so quickly last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekhbet Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 labradors can be a nusience barker, most often then not the bored ones. They have the biggest monotonous woof known to man if they are to develop the habit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
