I understand where you are coming from completely. I think Lily is going through something too?? She is 10 months old and getting wilder by the day!! She has started to bark terrible and especially in the middle of the night it is out of hand. She sleeps w/us. The past two nights I have got up and put her in her small plastic crate until she stops and then let her back out and it helps some. Although I don't want to use that for punishment cause I take her in the car in that. I figured out today that maybe when I put her in it for "punishment" for the 10-15 minutes I will take out the pad in it and maybe she will get the idea that when she stops barking she will get out?? I am going to maybe try a whistle?? She won't come to us at all even in the HOUSE!! She is very smart but even when she WANTS to be picked up she still runs away when you try to get her?? Everything is a game and I hope it is because she is still a puppy?? She pulls on a leash and barks terrible if we see a dog!! I have thought about taking her to some classes but she barks out of control at dogs on TV!!!lol I didn't realize that dogs know what is going on TV like she does!! AMAZING!!lol |
