We used to have a nervous poodle. She would bark at the any small noise. We would just reassure her calmly. It got to where she would just do one little bark. We would just say good girl its ok. When she was tied out if someone came by she would bark until we went out to check and say thank you its ok. She just needed to know we were taking care of things. We were the "pack" leader and if we said it was ok, she trusted it was. |
