Lucky is fine.......until she gets started, then he usually joins in. We can't take her anywhere without this happening. So, do I need to take a can of coins/rocks with me or maybe we should break down and get the no-bark collar as she barks at anyone that moves outside too...in the backyard, on walks. UGH!  Any other suggestions on how to control this or why she does it? I think it's just her feisty personality, but it doesn't make taking her anywhere much fun. |
this might seem like the WORST idea.. but what about obeidence class?? it sounds like she needs to be socialized with all types of dogs bit and small and the trainers will be able to help you work with that... i'm not sure i'd recommend petsmart for that.. but perhaps a dog trainer who is further trained in that type of issue..
