OMG
i am not laughing at you - i am laughing WITH you....i feel your pain and i thought your title was so funny because i call mine "barky mc barkerson" when they will not be quiet .. very close to your name lol
bentley was like that when he was a puppy...let me tell you, i thought i was going to go nuts...he was constantly barking, yapping, whining, etc and even when he was playing with miss buffey, he made noises then too...i was almost at my wits end!
i even emailed the breeder and she was perplexed because he was not a yapper with her (go figure
lol) and i learned i was reinforcing his yappy behaviour because i was giving him attention when he was yapping
i reached out to a member on her (i think it was ARCHIE) and she gave me the can with pennies advice...IT WORKS! you have to be consistent...as in, it has to be with you ALL the time...now bentley only whines when he knows it is time to eat (he lovesssssss food lol) and he only barks when his sister hears something and barks
mine are also "bratty mc bratterson" when they are acting super spoiled
lol
