Maybe your new house just has less noise for him to bark at? Also, time outs work wonders. My trainer suggests asking for "quiet" and if they don't hush, then give them a time out in a crate or another room. She always says that if they can't behave, then they can't hang out with you!

He's so cute! I love them short.
Quiet time is a great suggestion. I cannot imagine physically hurting my baby in any way, for any reason. Even if is just a sting or a zap. I just couldn't do it.
