Hi guys, Lola is 18 wks now, we've had her a month. No matter how much attention or walks she has had on any given day, she is biting and barking more at high energy times, especially evenings when all the family is home. We've tried coin shaker, water, ignoring, etc. Anything gets her more riled. she ultimately has to have time outs in her crate. I hate to feel like she has more outs than ins but it seems like for now she needs to learn we are in charge. My instincts are that like a human baby or toddler she gets way too excited, overstimulated, overtired. She sleeps from 10-6 at night and then only a few hours a day. Barking at us is the worst right now, (she does not bark in any other situation yet). Does anyone else have a toddler right now who is trying to rule the roost? Are they just begging for limits? I'm trying so hard to do this without getting angry, but honestly her bark is getting on my nerves. Thanks!
