I agree with most that has been said. I used to have 2 of the worst behaved dogs anyone could ever imagine, they were into everything, they dug holes all over the yard, they would tear, chew and bark at EVERYTHING....
The 2 things that helped enormously with my dogs.... the barking stopped the moment I put the bark collars on them... the low levels are a joke, but it starts at beeping, then low levels, then moves it's way up.... after a day of the collar, no more barking... I took the collars off, haven't needed them sense... if they ever start getting out of line, all I need to do is show them to them, and they are both at my heel and will sit and wait for me to give them a command. The other thing I did was I stopped chaining them up and allowed them to have other methods to get out their energy. Now they are never chained up and stay in my yard, they never leave except first thing in the morning, they will run to the neighbors pond, jump in then come right back (they might do it a few times throughout the day, but I have no idea) When I call them, they come right in, and want to lay with us and no get all crazy, or will go straight down stairs and lay down on their beds.
The best thing I ever did was give them the ability to get out their energy.
