SMALL DOG RE-TRAINING!!!?

I have a small breed dog...Bonnie...we got her while i was pregers, we got her back in apirl 2008...our baby was born in july..thats when problems happened. She has been peeing every where sooo bad that we removed carpet in our sons room and our room and today i caught her peeing on our recliner...2 times!! I understand she is jelious of the new baby, but how do we start re-traing her to be the dog we know she is? I love her sooo much but she is driving me nanners...it is getting cold outside and we dont have the heart to keep her out...we still show her love but it does not seem to matter...she wants it all! PLEASE HELP US WITH OUR LOST DOG!!!

You are going to have to confine her temporarily, until the time in the day when you can devote all of your attention to her. When she's left alone, if only for a few minutes, she's going to show you she's upset about the new addition by misbehaving. Buy a dog enclosure and put her in it when you have to tend to the baby. Dogs will not usually soil the place where they sleep, although there are some exceptions. When baby is napping, or playing, take your dog for a walk in the yard to "do her business". Play with her for a bit, and then when you have to get back to baby, crate the dog. You'll have to do this until your dog behaves again.

Small Dog Training Collar

[simpleaffiliate source="chitika" results="0"][/simpleaffiliate]

what would be the best type of training collar for a dog under 10lbs?

i want them to learn not to bark. ive been told that a shock collar is good. but i want to know what kind i should get for a small dog.
or to be more humane... a dog silencer.

If you do get a shock collar. . . what I would actually do is get the kind with a remote instead of the kind that your dog's barking is just supposed to set off.

It takes a bit more effort on your part, I know, but then you can control when/how strongly the dog gets shocked. Try it out on yourself as well -- that way you'll know exactly what levels equal what level of sensation. A lot of the automatic ones will get set off by all sorts of things other than barking (regardless of what they say. . . it can be hard to differentiate), and this way you can also use it if your dog is doing something else that you don't want it to be doing. Your dog's not getting zapped unless you say so, as opposed to if the little box says so. Unless you're very trigger happy, it's pretty hard for your dog to get "scorched" accidentally.

I'd also advise getting one that has a tone-only option, as you may find that just the noise gets you the results you want once your dog associates the little beepy sound with an upcoming shock.

On a side note. . . I highly doubt my dog would care one bit about high-pitched noises or funny smells, at least, and even the collar is even hit-or-miss on occasion. She's VERY persistent when she wants to be -- shocks or no shocks. I sometimes just have to pick her up and carry her off (whining at me all the way!) until whatever's outside goes away. I can all but guarantee she'd hurt herself if I didn't have control over what the collar does.
