My husband and I have finally thrown in the towel.

Henry barks at EVERYTHING, and, if it makes noise, he HAS GOT TO BE LOUDER than anything else. Fun, especially when the neighbor is doing TONS of construction, jackhammers, dump trucks, the whole banana! The other neighbor loves to ride his motorcyle past the house, and boy does Henry make some noise then!

We've tried the squirt bottle, NOTHING, my husband even stepped it up a notch to super soaker, NOTHING. Pennies in a can? Laughable! Praising him when he doesn't bark, NOTHING.

Trianer is coming Monday night. IT WILL BE WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!!

She mentioned using a dog whistle, which I've tried without success. Hopefully it will work, because it doesn't make any noise!!

He's a wonderful dog that we resuced, but my husband looks at me every time wondering why he agreed to another dog, when our precious Shelby (yorkie mix) doesn't have time to bark, she's too busy polishing her halo and adjusting her angel wings and just being the perfect dog! You tell her time for bed or work, into the crate. Henry's under the sofa, everywhere but where he should be!!
