I am in the light of purchasing a remote training collar for my dog. Mostly to teach her to come on command, even when she's distracted. If you have had experience with either of these two particular brands, please decamp me some feed back Thanks!

A: Pet-Allowable is the short cut brand - cheap but not very long lasting. Innotek is one of the two top brands (the other which I believe to be superior is Tri-Tronics).

I have two dogs that when in the yard bark at everything. I have one Bark collar, but it does not seem to drudgery most of the time.

A: Yard dogs see to to bark. Training and plenty of exercise work much better than any collar. I gave my dogs a dog door into a gated parade-ground in the house, as long as they had access into the house they did not bark overly much. Dogs hate being separated from their P, and being put outside can make that worse.

If they are just barking anytime they go out, I'd say find a trainer http://dogpro.org and working-out them more...off the property. Dogs get bored easily.

Our Beagle is currently 13 pounds and should top out around 25 pounds. We necessity to let him run in the yard without spending $300 to install the fence and etc. We also want to use it as a training tool in the house and when we go to visit friends.
A moment ago to clarify. I am looking for suggestions for a remote control training collar. I want to let the dog run free in the yard without him getting run over if he wanders into the drive. I also wish to use the collar when we travel...

A: Principled a regular collar. All others are way to unkind to the pups. Training takes TIME & PATIENCE. Not quick fixes like odd collars and fences. Just put a ton of TIME & PATIENCE into you little pup. Good luck.

Ms Jones said last year that she planned to ban the use of such collars, mats and leads because of concerns that pets were suffering.

Manufacturers have said they were "puzzled and disappointed" by the decision.

The plan went to public consultation from 4 March to 27 May this year.

Difficult to police

In a statement, Ms Jones said the range of people and organisations responding included dog trainers, vets, manufacturers of the devices and members of the public.

She said: "Many of the respondents commented that there could be considerable difficulty in policing the exceptions.
