[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 296260, member: 179"] I know it sounds harsh, but I've rarely found it to not be effective in training large dogs. It doesn't matter the behavior...barking, jumping, biting, blah. But, you can buy a short spike collar that has about a 6 inch lead off of it. It is only used as a last measure, but it gets the message to the dog REAL quick who is in charge. It does not hurt them...it's like someone giving you a good pinch. When I used to train dogs years ago owners would be horrified to put one of those collars on their dog. Well, ya know...it works. You're not constantly strangling the guy, just a quick jerk and they get the picture. Then you follow up with lots of hugs and playing ball. I had a half Huskey/Wolf dog 30 years ago. I loved that dog to death, but he was 120lbs of pure energy. If he didn't learn who was in charge I was in trouble. That's how I connected with the AKC. They helped train my dog, then trained me to train others. You're doing your dog and your family a favor. Abbey [/QUOTE]
