Has anyone ever used the Pet Trainer they have in the Carol Wright magazine that is suppose to help with your bad mannered dogs to make them mind? My question is, since it uses a high pitch tone to get them to mind, would this bother or hurt my fuzzies even if they are in the other side of the house? They are separated from the dog, he is a Fox terrier and has developed real possessiveness whenever anybody is standing too close to each other, try's to nip and bite at who ever is standing together and we need something to break this. It is not just my husband & I, he acts this way with anyone that is in our house and standing by each other, like he needs to have all the attention, he never bites anyone, just snaps at people but it is getting worse and time outs don't help, nor putting him in his dog crate. He is always getting played with by us, so it isn't as if he is starved for attention from us. We don't let him play with the ferrets, since he weighs 22 pounds, don't want him to step on someone and hurt them. He is real interested in them and sometimes will bark at them and try to play with them through the baby gate we have that separates him from their area. So they aren't together in the same room but they are in the same house and don't want to hurt them or make them mad and start biting me because their ears are being hurt with us trying to train the dog to behave. Any advice would be muchly appreciated!! We are at our wits end, the dog will be 6 this year and just seems to get worse about this each year. We are on a limited budget, everything extra goes to taking care of my 4 fur kids so this seemed like the thing to try but not if will cause pain or damage to my fuzzies ears. My mom has a few people that have these pet trainers and they have helped their bad mannered dogs to mind but none of them have ferrets to worry about. My sympathy to all who have lost babies and family members lately. You all are in my prayers. Thanks for any help you can give me, I am in dire need!!!!
