Those mornings are rough, aren't they?!
The thing that seems to be helping us with barking is one of the ultrasonic remote devices (not bark-activated, just a button to push). You can just have it in the bathroom with you while getting ready - handy to hit the button.
The other thing you might try is filling a kong with peanut butter or something that will keep little Darla busy and happy while you're getting ready. That will also equate getting ready with something positive instead of reminding her you're not paying attention to her.
Good Luck!! |
