We can't seem to understand why all of a sudden he is acting like this.
He does it even if your holding him in your lap and petting him.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what we could do or not do to get him to stop ?

I have this problem occasionally. I am raising 2 at once. Mandy is a little bit of a barker. She is older and Jack is learing from her. If I take one of them outside without the other they bark. If I walk out the front door to take the garbage out she barks. If its the back she doesnt. Go figure. I wish I had an answer for you. All I can say is the best I heard is to ignore them Because i heard they will take any attention whether its postive or negative. I use the spray bottle if she barks and I say no barking. Its ironic that while i was typing this the neighbor dog was barking and she started also. I threatented to use the water but didnt. I dont want to spray her to much because she will get used to it. Good luck
