Let's face it, you would still be upset if the note were signed by Ms. Crusty. 
By the way, I do think pennies in a can works better for stopping barking than the squirt bottle, it's too easy for the squirt bottle to become associated with you, and this means that barking is safe to do when you're not there. Loud noises can happen independently of you, and aren't as likely to be linked with you being there.
About Animal Planet, that's about the only channel that Joey barks at. Seeing all those dogs and even horses sets him off, don't your dogs bark to that? |
You bring up great points.. God I love your advice!!!! They don't bark on Animal planet, but I will try something else.. And I'm going to switch to the cans, and try that bark machine thing... I'm also going to start closing the drapes, and windows... The bottom line is that I LOVE my new house, and the LAST thing I want is problems... You bring up an excellent point about the spray bottle, and honeslty doesn't even seem to bother her that she's getting squirted in the face anymore!! I'm doing the cans starting today!!
They also bark for different reasons ya know?? Roxi barks for attention, and Rocco barks at passers by or noises.. Rocco has a very quiet bark, but Roxi's is pretty piercing...But NONE of it is excessive at all.. I am going to make all these changes and see what happens...
Thanks for your help again Nancy... your my fave YT'r!!!!! XXX
