I have a similar problem only she doesn't just bark at me for attention, we live in a complex where people are pretty active outside like walking and whatnot in front and in back too as it is a boating community and the back is where boat docks are..
So if she is allowed to be downstairs all the time she is constantly growling and barking at people walking around outside (she even barks at people that are ACROSS the canal!!).
The thing is, shes not aggressive towards people at all. Any stranger can come up to her and pet her and she loves it. So I don't even know why she barks like this.
I took someones advice in ordering one of those 'bark repeller' devices. I bought it on eBay for $15 total (free shipping). It's made by Pet Parade if you're interested in getting anything like that. It's also available from amazon.com but their shipping makes it more expensive. I'll let ya know how it works out as soon as I receive it!
Good luck, though. Sorry I am not of more help. |
