She barks when the furnace kicks on and barks at the TV when any kind of animal is on there!!lol I didn't know that dogs knew what was on the TV screen the way she does!! She wakes up out of a sleep to bark at the TV!!! She barks horrible w/doorbells even on TV and when she is out for a walk she barks at EVERYTHING and when we see another dog and she is on a leash she goes CRAZY!!! I feel bad because she is so cute but she doesn't mind us at all. I have tried coins in a can, spray bottle etc etc. I will try ANYTHING if anyone has any suggestions. THANKS!! |
When you are in the house with the exception of the door bell put a few coins in a can and shake it when she begins to bark and say no bark, the noise will snap her out of it. As far as a treat goes you have to figure out what she will do anything for and thats what you use. Some people use plain boiled chicken, string cheese, Milo loves Paul Newmans dog cookies, treat the training at the front door with the doorbell the same as outside make her sit and wait then give the treat. Remember only use the treat for this training only if you give treats for anything else make it a different treat you have to make her REALLY want it.
