I used to have a problem with Maddie barking a lot...and demanding! I finally tried the coins in a can thing and it worked! Now all I usually have to say is, "Should I get the can?" She will look at me as if to say..."Pleeeeze NO!" She really cowards when I get the can in my hand and I hate that because I've never hurt her and she acts as if I'm going to kill her with that can! I don't have to use it much, thank goodness, because I always feel bad when I do because of how scared she gets. There's times when I let her bark and sometimes if she barks because she wants to play, I just get down and play with her. I love it when she barks quietly and then makes these funny sounds as if she's talking to me. Anyway...try the can...it works!!! |
