Yelping Lab.

[scbrown]

Well I took my new buddy for another ride today ( 4 month old choc. lab) and finally found out why he cries every time he is in the truck.

It was a nice day today so I had the passenger side window down a little and every time I started to move he would start.

Its the AFE Mega cannon on the turbo, it starts and then he starts.

Now I have to figure out what to do, un-bomb my baby or try to get ear muffs for the dog. (my new best friend !)

Any ideas

Dont know if you want to do this to your new best buddie but it does work.

When you get him in the bed of the truck just put a few wraps of electrical tape around his snout and then go for a ride, only leave it on for a half hour then take it off, do this a few days in a row and maybe he will get the hint. Just show him the tape and he may shut up.



cheers, Kevin

Kevin's idea is a step in the right direction. My male choc lab Buck gets all excited everytime we get in the truck to go somewhere. He thinks we are going hunting. If he he doesn't heed the command "quiet", he gets his muzzle. He hates it. Even the word "muzzle", 90% of the time, will settle him down.

Good Luck.

If you have the silencer ring off, try putting it back on - If it's on try if off - It might change the pitch enough so your "new best friend" can withstand the noise.



Can't say I care for the idea of tape on the nose but a real muzzle might do the trick.

If you already did the silencer ring thing, look into a outerwears pre-filter on that AFE, I read that it helps reduce some of the turbo wistle...

good luck,

I would start by asking yourself if your dogs does this any other time. If not the problem is not him yelping. the problem is that this pitch hurts his ears. Put a muzzle on your dog and keep torchering him with that sound does not sound like what you want. Put him in the back seat on the floor and see if it stops. Probably will. never understood why people would put a dog in the back of a truck. I know lots of people do but most people that get in an accident regret the outcome.

My pup.

My oldest Pup always is vocal when in the truck. It has nothing to do with the exhaust tone, he just loves to show off to the neighbor dogs (Ha Ha I am going out to run!). He settles down after a mile or so and just barks at the people walking down the sidewalk. He stalks them, waits till we are right on them and BOW,WOW,WOW,WOW,! I think he just about gave an old man a heart attack the other day. I try to take routes that do not interfere with walkers. Now joggers are real fun! Now if I could get them both to quit taking a dump in the back of the truck! Cork maybe?

try this...........

when i got my black lab 12 years ago i used a baby bottle

and lemon juice. when she would start to whine or yip

i would firmly say "quite" and squeeze some juice in her

mouth. only took a couple of try's till she learned what quite

meant. be careful not to get it in their eyes. btdt.



good luck!

To reiterrate-It may only be the excitment of going somewhere that excites the dog. If Buck get all wound up and will not "quiet", we put the muzzle on untill we get moving in the truck. Two minutes of driving we pull off the muzzle and he's good for the rest of the day. I do have my silencer ring off and with Buck it makes no matter mind whether he going somewhere in the CTD or the 99 1500 with a 318. There is No Difference is the level of excitment. We also have a female choc lab that is not as high strung. She never barks. I would suggest you determine weather it's the truck with the efe. Take the dog in other vehicles and see if the "moving" or noise is causing the "crying".

If your dog has been neutered he may need these http://www.netready.com/projects/animalpharm/



"They come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and weights to insure an almost perfect match to the dangle of your pet's original nads. These new prostesticals have both the look and feel of real testicals, without the annoying "clack" of the original FauxNads. No longer will your pet sound like Ricky Ricardo playing a pair of castenets when he comes running for dinner The new FauxNads have improved smell and taste as well. Our test team has shown that by using advanced pherenome impregnation techniques, the new FauxNads are almost identical in taste to real dog balls. "

I occasionally put a muzzle on my pup. (when she digs)

I amost died laughing one time I saw her walking backwards. It looked like it was a movie being played backwards. If I had the camcorder charged, I'm sure I would have made some money with that one. :-laf :-laf



When she was a pup we took her home in my truck. It must have been the first time she was ever in a vehicle. You should have heard her yelping. :-laf

I've been taking her to the beach during the summer (I had the whole summer off) and she now loves going for a ride.
