I do not squirt them for barking at the doorbell, UPS man etc. But I will squirt if they bark when they hear the neighbors talking or kids playing, wind chimes blowing etc. |
Agree! Jackson's an "only" dog at our "main" house and the only barking he really does is when someone comes to the door but it's easy to get him to stop. When we visit over at my dad's house for a few nights, he has 2 other dogs... it's so much more difficult to control because when one barks, the others follow! Yikes! The spray bottle does work wonders over there.
