[Rocco1]

I know this has been covered a thousand times and when I did a search for this topic the results were just a little overwhelming.

Anyway, I am having a REAL problem with Rocco barking all the time. I mean he barks if the kids don't feed him off their plates. He barks non stop if our Dachshund is laying on the couch and won't get up and play. He barks with every noice he hears and he much have the best hearing of any dog I have ever seen. I have tried the squirt bottle with water and good grief I think he actually enjoys it as opposed to it being a discipline tool. Does anyone have any other suggestions? I asked a friend of mine who has only outside large dogs and he suggested a small collar that vibrates to get his attention but that seems a little to close to a "shock collar" to me and I am completely out on that.

I would really appreciate some suggestions.

Thanks everyone!
