I always believe how the kids behave depends on how they are being brought up.
Recently there are a lot of unhappy disagreement from the dog lovers on the notice that HDB put up on the dog
barking nuisance in the middle of the night at Ang Mo Kio.
It mention: If you are unable to control your dog barking, you can
1)Take your dog for obedience training
2)Use training collars to control your dog and modify its behavior
3)Debarking your dog through surgery.
I believe people are unhappy with the third suggestion that HDB throws in.
Being an responsible owner. I will be curious why is my dog barking in the middle of the night.
Why are they giving you such attention? Are we giving them enough space to sleep, Is your neighbor making noise that alert them? Are they starving?
Miko is quite an alert fur kid. When she heard some noise outside our house she will alert us with her bark.
Doesn’t dog suppose to protect us and alert us when there are unusual activity outside your house? There is a reason for their good sense of hearing isn’t it? When they are young, we should be responsible to cultivate the right mind set to them. I have a friend that train the dog bark with a electric collar. The collar will give a vibrate and electric shock to the dog when they bark. This is one way to remind them of the unnecessary barking.
It’s the same as baby when they cry mummy will stuff the pacifier to them to stop them from crying.
Choke chain is another obedience training that people use to train their dog. Of course it must be medium to big dog. It will be too harsh to apply on small dogs.
