collar?

hi peeps took chester training last night my 1st time (my partner usually takes him) and trainer suggested a lemon spray collar he is really aggro to the other pups and she gave me a bottle with stones to shake at him which worked really well but if im out with willow and chester i dont want to scare willow with stones does anyone know much about these collars?

never heard of them, just googled them and they are very expensive, apparently when the dog barks they spray lemon which dogs dont like. I am sure there must be a cheaper way. Someone will be along soon who will know more.

cheers that was one of my concerns the price! cheap (like stones) and cheerful is good 4 me! i also have a water spray which i use at home but when im out i need an extra pair of hands!

I personally wouldn't use one. Could you take Chester out on his own to do a bit of training? Xx

yes i think i might have to its just time really and has been easier to take both dogs out i do training with both dogs but out it hard to handle 2 dogs esp when chester is trying to get to another dog

just taken chester out on his own (much to willows disgust) armed with my water spray it was great hes a bit wet though! so i will give collar a miss and stick to my pound water spray! x

Great stuff. just a little seperate training and it will soon pay off, and also be really good for them and you If you can find the time lol Xx

hehe scarlett just drinks the water i spray her with -.- she opens her mouth when she knows lol

Never heard of a lemon spray collar, but we do sell citronella spray collars at the shop I work at. I have heard good things about them, but I don't have any personal experience with them.

that sound similar the citron bit, they are expensive on line though think of all the chew toys and treats i could get my babies instead! have taken my water spray out today but with both dogs and its working a treat with chester but willow is abit scared of it bless her.

Hey guys Just nosing through your posts. Do you think a stone shaker or water spray will help a 3 yr old staffy x?

Shes a rescue had her for 3 weeks now & is a littl too confident when it comes to over dogs & will try to fight them if shes given the chance.
Thanks x

We use both of these and have gotten good results. We still use the water spray on walks to keep Suki from eating things

yep i take my water spray out on walks works most of the time but sometimes chester is so intent on trying to get to another dog he isnt too bothered by it! stone work well too usually

Food or a favorite toy also work well.

ive just started teaching chester to WATCH ME using treats it worked really well when out on walk yesterday

I bought her a squeaky toy yesterday - Didnt show it to her then hid it in my pocket when we went for a walk hhhoping to get her attention with a squeak when i needed it.

Didnt work

although come 11pm last night she loved her toy & the squeak lol

Water doesnt phase her either - She stood in the shower for 1-0 minutes & didnt batter an eyelid yesterday.

lol
