Sorry one last thing I use my educator e-collar in an already trained to do something manner the way Robert and others teach. In other words they’re already trained to do something and they’re not doing it because of drive. So in the lowest possible stim setting that she responds to like a tap on the shoulder hey listen to me stim. Plus the coller I have also has vibration which I try to use the most before going shock and it has a beep setting with beep right in their ear And for in case of emergencies and I need her to sit stay or come because there’s an aggressive dog or she wants to be aggressive I have a special button to stop her fight mode with a much higher stim setting but not too high I tested out on myself. Plus I learn her responses. I also had to use the technique to shave a little hair in the area I put the contact points by her ear on her neck.

I did research on each one but the best one I thought was reasonably priced I never buy too low. When you spend low you get low when you get reasonable you get good. Basically the motto I have is if it’s on sale and it’s got a good price down from a higher price and I’ve done my research on the product I get it. If the normal price is too low it may be because the product is not that good. So where’s the ultrasonic thing I got this one from Amazon it has three buttons One is a high-pitch beep which I use sometimes One is an ultrasonic that has two settings and one is a flashlight plus with the ultrasonic it does flash a special light separate from the flashlight. I even use it when walking her sometimes instead of having her educator e-caller. Just remember you can’t overuse this thing your best buddy could get used to it from what I understand.

With Suzy Q I decided to get one of those ultrasonic gadgets looks like a flashlight has two settings One is alternating and the other is solid sound wave. When she would bark obsessively at the front door or go running I would hit it and she would come. And I would tell her no. When she barks out the back. Of my place where I don’t want people to be. And I want her to alert me to anybody creeping back there around our apartment building. I did that to get hurt the tension. Eventually I started commending her for her barking but telling her no. Or petting her to let her know that was enough or saying something to signal that’s enough I hear you and I see. And it’s worked pretty well. I almost never have to use the ultrasonic tool anymore. Now when she goes towards the front or goes to bark I say no get over here. I used it basically to train her using it with a negative reinforcement for a positive outcome. I hope you understand what I’m saying it is kind of little wackadoodle. But basically I do commend her sometimes for the front door letting me know someone’s there. And I commend her always for the back letting me know someone’s there even if someone isn’t there and she’s just barking because she thinks someone’s there but I don’t give her treats for those things that way she doesn’t start to do it just to get a treat. I apologize for a day incoherent feeling of what I’m saying but I hope you understand. Basically you might try the ultrasonic thing Don’t use it too much You don’t want them to get used to it. Switch back and forth between the two settings of alternating and solids ultrasound. And maybe even try a command by thanking them energy and a pet on the head and no down sit lay whatever it is to get them to stop at that point once they have stopped to stay stopped. Using the lay down the set another command to get them to do something different that isn’t a correction in the sense of a discipline but a correction in course.

What I wanna know is the population of your town is there a college nearby what kind of entities are there around there the reason I say These things is you could see if you can put Flyers up at the college in need of people who love dogs but can’t have one right now and would like to work with dogs on a volunteer basis one to two days a week you could also go I know this is gonna sound but there’s a lot of homeless people in this world that are just normal people so if you can put a flyer up at a homeless shelter that says someone who doesn’t do drugs doesn’t drink and gets along with people and especially dogs cuz we need volunteers at the dog shelter something like that if that’s possible if you or you can ask the people who run homeless programs around there they will know who ’cause they deal with those people all the time they will know who would be qualified despite being homeless to do that if there is anybody and who would who would be willing and and love to do that that being said you need to find other places to put up Flyers or make announcements about volunteering at the shelter go to the public public broadcast station in your town and see if they will add you to announcements sometimes like in need nonprofit shelter is always looking for volunteers another one would be seeing if you can put Flyers up at supermarkets wherever you can put them up possible that you could even think of places you would never think of think of just do it and the Flyers can also say on them besides people who love dogs but can’t have dogs right now and they can also say and those of you who who have dogs now could you volunteer one day a week I don’t wanna go on and on but ’cause I can talk a lot i’m sorry as far as the money goes if it is a non profit and you’re allowed to raise money and you can get enough volunteers you can do car washes if you can get some of the local restaurants involved here and there maybe it’s like like let’s say like you got a guy who has a hot dog stand around there if he would do a tax write off and volunteer a whole day to giving hot dogs away to people who get car washes this is only if your place is has enough of a population to do to to achieve that while making money at the same time you can also get the radio stations around there to do a public service announcement possibly I don’t know how you would go about that but you could talk to them and just keep bugging them a squeaky wheel always gets oiled to say there’s got to be some way we can have an announcement once a day during the busiest time of your radio about dog shelter needing donations and most not just donations the announcement could say not just donations but especially we need volunteers to help these dogs become adoptable so I guess I don’t wanna know where you live or anything but if you could tell me where what city this is in I might be able to do some research on how to help you more knowing what you have to work with and where you could find volunteers so let us know that at least what the name of the shelter is and what city it’s in ’cause then I would know what cities are close by that could help you with working something to get donations from people if you’re close to other cities aloha
