I didn't at all reward the behavior as a matter of fact most of the time I was on my bed hoping that the mouse just stayed in the kitchen (yes I know I'm a chicken, I did get a little more brave as the day went on). One time we rented a small track hoe and whne they delivered it they set it in the corner of the property and barked at it for at least half an hour until I went down and showed it to her, showed her it was ok.
This sounds more to me like the type of barking you are having. |
That's not the type of barking I'm worried about and there is a noticeable difference in her when she is barking at something and when she is nuisance barking. When we had the bird in the chimney she stationed herself in front of the fireplace and barked all day. That's what a terrier is supposed to do so I have no problem with that. The barking that is problematic is at nothing in particular or things that I know she really isn't afraid of.
