Then, I tried penny in can, she got very excited thought I played with her, and then the spray I got from store, according to the storekeeper this spray work well on a lot of breeds, but she wasn't afraid of it at all, and she even lick the liquid left on the crate. I even bought a liquid recommended, it helps to calm down aggressive dogs, normally people feed them when they travel or visit vet. I only fed her once, it did work a little, but I decided to stop giving it to her, I felt bad because to me it's something not good for their health, I threw it. Then, I thought a muzzle might help but her size is too small the size 0 is loose on her...I tried switching her crate location...I tried rolled newspaper, smack on the floor and make her quiet, but no she got very upset and bark louder....so on, I've tried all suggestions recommended by Ytalkers on the thread I posted around 2-3 weeks ago. Eventually I found a way to stop her excessive barking, I have to put her on my laps every evening, and nap with me on the coach, once her eyelids become heavy I will put her back to the crate. It's not I don't want to share bed with her, but my sister wouldn't like this suggestion.
The problem is when people come to visit my house, she would still bark in my arms, it seems no way to correct her...maybe I'm a little pessimistic, the only hope now is, I hope she will become less aggressive after spay. But vet said wait until she gains some weight, most probably after her 1st heat. What I can do is just wait...and I've heard some furbabies remain aggressive after spay, I hope this is not true.. |
