Now, if Jackson hears someone at the door, he will bark to alert me a few times and I say "Quiet" and he usually listens. Key word- usually. But we're learning still. The can really has worked greatly though.
If that doesn't work, I've heard of spray collars. I think they spray water or something when the dog barks but I've never used though.
Or a little sound thing that emits noise that only the dog can hear but humans can't -can't give you any info on those either though! |
We've tried loud clickers and noisy things in the past and he just wants to play with them
.
We have just been putting him in time out (baby gate wedged in a corner), but he's still having problems.
He got so upset the other day he threw up
.
I will not ever use a spray collar, so that's out of the question.
Thank you for your advice though! We can try more coins in a can this time, lol.
Anyone else have any luck with issues like this?
