    Blue Heeler in Car

    Hi,
    we have a 14 month Blue Heeler who just goes sick in the Disco Barking.

    We tried a muzzle supposed to be the thing after 5 minutes of bliss he had it off with his paws and chewed it up.

    It was on at the correct tension he jst hooked his claws over it and tugged on it.

    Ant thoughts on car training him as the noise is driving us spare.

    At home he is fine it is just in the car when it starts moving. We figure previous owners let him run around on a flat tray.

    Any help appreciated

    Cheers

    G'day Piddler

    Just keep repeating a VERY FIRM NO
    that is all you can do, if he has been an Ex-Ute dog it will take a while to get through to him, we have had Cattle Dogs for about 20 years and they are a very stubborn animal but you can get through to them.

    cheers

    Show him Mad Max 2 and tell him the Disco is the last of the Interceptors and train him to hold the string with his mouth that is attached to the Trigger.....

    Sorry, Flash back to the 80's

    Get a length of chain (1/2 metre - 20mm (?) links), and when he starts barking rattle the chain as a warning, and if he doesn;t stop throw the chain near him (not at him) and growl him. He will soon get the idea, and the rattling of the chain will be enough to stop him.

    For some reason dogs just don't like the sound of the chain being thrown. This is the same theory that Bark-Busters use.

    Hope it works. Nothing worse than a dog that's driving you mad (well, maybe a wife...).

    Position the dog on the floor behind the front seats and chain him to the seat rail so he cant jump upand see the passing cars and trees. and put some window covers on the rear windows like the ones for kids to block out the light. the worked for me. Or get another dog.

    nope,, Burleigh barked straight through it,,
    it changed his bark,, and changed my mind, I now think it was a cruel thing to do.
