Using a spray bottle, shaking the pennies in a can, trying to create a distraction. She will even run behind the kitchen table when she starts barking because she KNOWS I am coming after her. (she is such a little stinker!!)
Macie is the ring leader when it comes to barking, everyone takes their cue from her- if she starts barking, then everyone barks. If she doesn't make a sound, neither do any of the others.
Yes, she thinks she is the Queen- how do I get her to realize she is not in control? |
Exacly my question, how do you teach them that you are the alpha dog?
Hamoth thanks for your input. I think you have a wonderful stroy about your dog and some nice information to share!
Thanks!
