Well, we are in the same barking boat.. Annabella (14 mos) is a consumate barker, (I should say shrill yapper). Luca (10 mos) follows her lead and sometimes barks on his own. We have tried, "No bark" at which time she barks. We tried "time out" in the crate and she will occasionally bark from the crate. We tried the water spray, but she sees me coming and stopsw until I turn around. We tried putting her inside the house, snapping a dish towel, the noise collar, "quiet" etc and all or some work a time or two and that is all. She goes nuts when she is confined and sees other dogs or animals. We cannot watch "Dog Whisperer", etc cause Luca barks at TV animals and gets Annabella going.
We just back from the Alex. Meetup and NEITHER barked the whole time we were there..... And they were in the stroller a lot. Back at the campground, they barked at all the dogs until they were put in the X-pen with them, then they were intimitated... Who knows... I'm going to see if we can get some training for them, I'm not doing well. HELP |
