So nobody is interested to help, right?

Please help me to find some abandoned building in Bangkok. I have personal project for some energy investigation. You can see my facebook page name Enigma: http://www.facebook.com/EnigmaBangkok

We are looking for some locations such as abandoned building or cemetery that has seen paranormal activity there. I know there is a Thai TV channel that shoe ghost stories and investigation. But my Thai is not that good to understand.

And I also know that Thai people do not like to share with farangs but we all do respect them and we do not disturb them.

Please help me to work on my project. I need up to date addresses and locations.

Thanks in advance

It's simply a fraud: you can see from the begining that the Farang guy face is wounded already and just somebody else standing and getting the footage before eberything starts just fpr posting as evidence. Bullshit

............ I live in a single room so it doesn't have any other room to put her in. ....... I know my dog she doesn't bark that much when I leave cause I trained her when she was a puppy.

Sorry, Aram, but you don't "know" what your dog does unless you have checked; what you trained her to do 12 years ago may be very different from what she does now.

First, either get a video camera or a simple tape recorder and check what she does. If you don't know you can't correct it.

Second, ask your other neighbours. Maybe they are all annoyed but only one is prepared to complain. Maybe some kick your door; maybe some shout at her; maybe some try to calm her down; you simply don't know.

If she is left alone in a room with nothing to do and she barks every time someone walks past the door it is unlikely to be out of fear and far more likely to be from separation anxiety. You said that "She is like my daughter, I can die for her"; I can respect that, but the problem is that you have probably spent the last 12 years conditioning her so that she now thinks that she is your baby and you are her mother.

I am guessing, but have you made a fuss of her every time you go out ("don't worry, baby, mummy will be back soon, etc")? Do you make a fuss of her every time you come back ("I told you I'd be back, etc")? Sorry, but if so you have caused the problem. You're her world and when you're away she doesn't know what to do without your attention and every time someone goes past the door she's calling for help.

This is not an easy problem to solve, and "torture" arguments aside a shock collar is almost certainly not the answer here. If she barks every time someone passes the door then she would get a shock every time someone passes the door; she may associate the shock with barking, but most dogs wouldn't associate the shock first with something they've done but with something else that's happened at the same time. To you, she gets a shock when she barks - simple. To her, though, she's been left alone, she barks because she wants attention when someone passes the door, and now every time someone goes past she gets an electric shock into the bargain - What's mummy done?? Help me, someone!!

Once you know what happens you can start to correct it, but this will take time - you don't change 12 years of conditioning in a few days or even a few weeks.

First, talk to your neighbours and explain that you are trying to do something; if any of them shout at her when they go past, or equally if any try to calm her down, explain that they are making things worse and the best thing they can do is to ignore her. Explain what you are trying to do.

Second, play it cool when you go out and when you come back; don't make a big deal of it or you will pass your anxiety on to her. Pay less and less attention to her before you go out, and minimise the affection. When you come back, just ignore her for a few minutes; unpack the shopping, and above all avoid eye contact. When she has settled down, then make a fuss of her.

This will work, but the problem is that it will work eventually; unfortunately there is no way of speeding up the process and there is no "quick fix". It takes time and if one of your neighbours is already complaining you may not have time. I hate to put it forward as an option, since it may not even be one, but your only solution may be one which will inevitably make the problem worse in the long term: if you have no other option you may have to leave your dog with a friend every time you go out. Its not a genuine solution, its addressing the symptom and not the problem, and it will make solving the problem properly far more difficult later, but if your only other options are to get rid of your dog or your apartment to get rid of you then you may not have any choice.

Thanks a lot, you have analyzed very well. you're right, I am her world and she is my world. Whenever I live she doesn't eat or EVEN drink water till I come home. She just waits till I arrive. She also sleeps in my bed. That is my mistake to make her totally dependent on myself.

I like not to pay her attention for few minutes till she gets calm the time that I arrive, but she starts barking till I hug her. I can't stop hugging her cause she continues barking and I afraid of neighbors.

The other thing which is so annoying is when I'm not home she pisses in the room,honestly I gave up cause I couldn't stop her from doing that. so I cover my bed and carpet with plastic. I don't blame her but I blame myself. She behaves exactly lke a baby she knows my weaknesses and uses them to complain about her needs. When she is with one of my friends she behaves differently. you have guessed correctly, I make a fuss of her when I leave or come back.

But I got your advices and try to manage it better. :jap:

OP, does your dog bark when she hears or sees something? If it is when she sees something maybe prevent that by putting in her in a room in the back of the house, or in the back garden?

If she barks when she hears something, keeping the television or radio on while you are away, can help sometimes.

These are just suggestions. Sometimes a simple change in management comes along way, and then you do not need to resort to devices like anti-bark collars.

ONLY after one have tried ALL dog-friendly behavior modification methods and they have failed, and also a change in management doesn't do the trick, one may resort to an anti-bark collar. (assuming that the dog owner really has the best in mind for his or her dog).

One way to go is consulting a dog behaviorist. Patrick Bundock is in Bangkok and has been mentioned already several times on this forum and comes highly recommended. I do not have his contact details but you can do a search on 'dog training bangkok'.

I have found Patrick Bundock in Facebook but still I haven't get any response. I turn on the TV when I wanna leave but it doesn't work. I live in a single room so it doesn't have any other room to put her in. None of the other neighbors in my floor complained except one of them. I know my dog she doesn't bark that much when I leave cause I trained her when she was a puppy. But this woman wants to complain in any way.

You think that I like to do that? She is like my daughter, I can die for her. So weird, even there are too many dogs and dog lovers in Thailand, I have lots of problem here. There are so many limitation, I can't walk her in the street because the street dogs attacks us.Now my front door neighbor who is a lonely middle aged woman, says that my dogs barks when somebody passes my door. For god sake, it's a dog, what does she expect. I don't have any other option right now, I can't give her to somebody else and I can't move to other place now.

When ever I wanna move to a new place, it takes me weeks to find a landlord who allows me to keep her in my room. fuc_k that, I'm so tired of these people who can't see anything except MONEY.

An "electrical dog collar" ?? It's not one of those things that gives an electroshock everytime a dog barks, right?

Yes, it is. My neighbor start to complain about my dog's barking.Do you know where I can buy in Bangkok?

I live in Bangkok. I have a 12 years old dog. I need to buy her an electrical dog collar but I don't know where can I get it. Please tell me about the pet shop in Bangkok where I can get one. Thanks :jap:

so please put my name in the list. thanks
