Does anyone else have this problem? I love my furboy but his constant barking is driving me crazy! He has such a sharp bark and gets so excited and barks at every person or moving object he sees. Sometimes he just sits at my feet and barks like he wants to play..he often brings a toy to either me or my husband and will bark to get us to play. We have started giving him a 10-15 min. playtime with his favorite toy and using a timer to let him know playtime is over and that seems to be helping some but it is very annoying when you get on the phone and all you can hear is his barking! Or let someone come to visit and he just goes wild. It isn't a mean bark, he is very friendly he seems to just want every person's attention..like he is the one they should be coming to see! He often goes to the window and sees people outside in their yards or walking on the street and he about comes unglued trying to get their attention with his barking. Is there something I can do to let him know he must be quiet? Also I have had some trouble with him chewing on things even though he has lots of chew toys and I tell him "no chew" then give him a chew toy. His favorite thing to chew is wood. He turned one year old this month..shouldn't his teething be over now? He seems worse now than ever before! I have been reluctant to give him nylabones, rawhide or greenies or anything like that to chew as I have heard that sometimes those things don't digest and cause problems. However, this past week I did give him a Waggin Train jerky link thinking that might help but he consumes those rather quickly and I don't want to give him too many. He also likes pieces of ice and we give him that often. I just don't know what more to do..I am open for suggestions!
