Population estimates are between 5000-6500 in Africa, of which only around 1600 are mature individuals. They are now found in only six of the 34 countries in which they once roamed freely. The African Wild Dog is listed as Vulnerable by the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature), as the population numbers are so low.

No more getting confused!Īfrican wild dogs only occur in six of the 34 countries that they once roamed. Hyena (spotted) are a tan colour, with dark spots, lacking the white of wild dogs and are much heavier set with a sloping back. Wild dogs are slimmer than hyenas, are almost always found in packs and generally always are a mix of white, tan and black. Furthermore, Dutch zoologist Coenraad Temminck was first to name wild dogs scientifically, calling them Hyaena picta, in the belief that they were a type of Hyaenid. I recently learnt that the German name for Wild Dogs is Hy änenhund, which may account for some of the confusion between the two unrelated species. They are a distinct species of Canid, Lycaon pictus, which literally means “painted wolf”. So on that note, let me shed some light on the African Wild Dog and help give them the attention that they deserve and desperately need. ![]() In fact, a lot of guests have never even heard of these wonderful creatures, often confusing them with hyenas. However, I have noticed that my love for these animals is not shared by everyone else. Bless the inventor for creating a safe effective way to enjoy our pets more.Being my favourite animal, if there is any chance of wild dogs being found on the reserve, I am often the first to be out looking for them. I am very happy to have this Bark Begone training tool. I just couldn’t get her attention off of her current quest to save the house, dig through road side junk by verbal commands alone. It was just extremely hard to get her attention when she would go into a frenzy of barking, pulling etc. Now I can get a response without using the Bark Begone Training tool all the time, my verbal sometimes work and praise. A quick no, Bark Begone tool followed by praise, are making the walks much more pleasant for all of us. Her constant pulling physically hurts my back and ruins the walk for me. I have also used it to train her on walking she pulls on the leash and gets crazy about nosing into everything on our walks. I verbally tell her no, use the tool, and then I praise her right away. It was quite irritating and I am sure scary for the walkers. She will bark at cars that go by the house, or even people walking by. (I have three dogs currently) Once Lola gets going, the others will join in. I purchased the Bark Begone Dog Training tool for a very barky dog we have. This dog barking silencer setting can be a great tool for rebellious wild dogs but when training your personal animal, be sure to use setting I. The second setting is designed to emit a louder ultrasonic sound which is meant to startle and deter threatening dogs. This setting should be used to only scare away combative wild dogs. Switch the device to the II setting to engage the aggressive ultrasonic emitter. ![]() The Bark Begone handheld device works up to 70 feet which makes it a great for use at the park or when fending off surly dogs at a distance. One of the greatest things about the device is its extraordinary range. That's why our Bark Begone Anti Barking Device is famed as the best bark deterrent on the market!
