When I got my baby he barked quite a bit. So I started popping him into his cage every time he barked too long/too loud/too much, etc. If he kept barking I covered the cage with a large blanket (the whole thing so he couldn't see anything). When he calmed down, first the blanket came off, then next he got a treat. Then after a few minutes of calm, I let him out. I never ever let him out while he was still excited, whether he was barking or just bouncing around the cage. But I agree with the poster that said if you're thinking about giving them away it's probably time. Good luck. |
