His name is Bruno, but I call him D.A.D. (dumb *kitten* dog)

We bought him a bark collar, because, well, he's a great dog but a serious nuisance barker. If a leaf falls off a tree outside, I swear he barks for 10 minutes. Well, we put the collar on. He kept barking. All I've heard all day is "WOOF" followed by horrible screeching for 30 seconds. Wait a minute. Repeat. I know it sounds like animal torture, but we wanted to see how long it would take before he got the hint to stop barking. My neighbors were taking bets all afternoon.

Anyone else have a D.A.D.?

    thats a pretty dumb dog lol :)

    my dog is pretty dumb, she sits behind my chair, and when i back up to get up, she yelps, jumps up and looks at me like i just killed her. then i sit back down and she sits right behind me again. i mean really, learn something dog! she also doesnt understand the idea of getting out of the way.. i have to almost step on her to get her to move out of the way.

    i'm sure she would have the same trouble with the bark collar...

    My Dachshund is like that when he hears dogs barking on TV or off the computer. Same applies with razor scooters and skateboards. Doesn't have to be outside for real, off the TV or computer and off he goes, barking through the house, searching for it. Smart with other stuff but that? Doesn't get it. Oh, and don't ask what it's like on a walk through a neighborhood PLEASE!!! :noway:

    Tell that to Cesar about my dog. Pointless. He's not aggressive the best of times. Just hard to train.

    Yep, got a dumb dog here too. I've been trying to leash train her by using the stop and wait method each time she pulls. Now whenever she feels the harness pull, she stops, sits and then leaps forward...repeatedly. It's like watching a game of leapfrog :/

    My dad's DAD............................... oh boy.

    Try a $3000 German Shepperd trained with the Canadian Police from Czechoslovakia. So he's a German Canadian Czechoslovakian Shepperd. Something happened somewhere because that dog is big and dumb.

    My dad purchased him as a watch dog. He does the opposite. He greets strangers with a happy smile on his face. He'll probably even unlock the door for them. If you scratch the top of him up near the tail he'll start scratching himself with his hind leg... it's like an on button???? He also considers tampons a delicacy and will find them through hell or high water.

    He'll eat anything. And I mean ANYTHING. We used to get a kick out of throwing plastic toys and pieces of wood just to watch him swallow it.

    You can't really walk him without putting a leash under a front leg because he's always going so damn fast.

    And he cannot comprehend getting out of the way of a moving vehicle. It's a miracle he's still alive.

    When my dad is building things outside he thinks the 2 by 4s are a stick and will take them away. It's pretty hilarious.

    Anyways that's my dad's DAD.

    And you need a video of this. That's a couple hours of entertainment, right there!
