| My Baby Girl won't stop barking! Help! We adopted our baby in January. She is 4 months old and completely precious to us! She is almost housebroken. Barks whenever I ask her if she needs to go potty. She is a very very smart puppy. Our only issue with her is she barks when she is in her crate. We even let her sleep w/ us now out of frustration with her barking at night. It seems to be working out. She sleeps thru the entire night. We just need advice on how to handle the barking while she is in her crate. We put her in when we are getting ready for work in the mornings and also in the evening when we have things we need to do around the house. She will whine and bark the entire time that she is crated. What should frustrated puppy parents do? Please help us. We have also tried the citronella collars, the water bottle, and now also the coins in can. nothing is working. The only thing that makes her stop her barking is when my husband yells at her to be quiet. She only responds to that. We don't wish to yell at our baby, so what is another alternative to this? Thanks! |

| Thanks Chachi! I am going to try the pennies in a can once again. And actually forgot to mention my husband did try a boat horn. Startled her, but she just kept on yapping. She is very stubborn. I think she suffers from separation anxiety. When I am standing in front of her crate she doesn't bark. So I will try to leave her for a short period of time by herself and try to extend the period of time that I leave her alone. Maybe gradually she will realize that I will return. We are totally crazy about her and hope that she will outgrow her yapping. She is my first indoor puppy and I have never had to try to huosebreak or train a puppy but with all the great advice from Yorkie Talk I am learning a lot. Thanks Much! |
