[quote=Nancy1999;2864274] I like "Pennies in a can" to reduce barking, and you must be consistent, and never show anger at barking as this agitates the dog more. I used a Christmas tin filled half way with coins and it made a louder noise than the aluminum cans. Say no and shake the can, repeat every time they bark. Never let them have the last bark. The coins in a can is good because they don't associate the noise aversion with you, like they would a water spray bottle. So barking is reduced even when you are not there. [quote]
Thanks! So, having the run of the entire kitchen is too much space? That might explain some of the accidents. I have also noticed that if I confine him to the kitchen and he starts barking, when I come back, there will be a puddle. Is this because he is frightened? Can I do anything about this? |
