I had to get use to the barking also, Roxy didn't bark until a few weeks of me brining her home and getting comfortable with my other dog Lili, that never barks. She sounds like she's looking for attention, or trying to drive you crazy. I tried all kinds of tricks, nothing worked. She only barks in the morning between 4 and 5. That's when I get up for work. I have a trick. While I'm sitting here on my puter I have a hand full of kibble and everytime she barks I tell her no bark and give her a piece of kibble! She's learning after a week and getting hand fed for breakfast! I don't know if she likes being fed like that in the morning and getting the attention, Lili loves it, she get's it too, or if she's really learning. Roxy is crazy in the morning anyway from being in the crate all night. I have also put her in her crate when the barking is bad. She calms down with her blanket. They say they are barking for a reason, I havn't figured it out...lol.... |
