My lovely neighbor came and complained to me yesterday and informed me that he does it A LOT when I'm not home. She also informed me that she knows another lady that got evicted because people complained about her dog barking. I think she was kind of threatening me, but I do need to do something so I don't have any problems. I haven't heard very great reviews of the sound collar or the citronella collar, and Harley is pretty stubborn and persistant, so I think I might need the shock collar. BUT (before everyone attacks me) I want to know what everyone thinks before I go there!
So please, help! |
Hi,
Harley needs to know that you are coming back. This takes a while but it does work. You need to practice leaving her several times a day. Starting with only for one Min. Just walk out the door don't look at her, don't acknowledge her, close the door stand on the other side and then wait a min. and walk back in. When you walk back in don't acknowledge her or look at her right away. do this several times a day and change it up sometimes put your coat on sometimes have your keys they are very smart and pick up on your habits. Gradually extend the amount of time before you come back in the room. This could take a while but it will work as long as you are consistent. Good luck.
