maybe you can try telling your dog to sit and be quiet after you park your car, before getting out. and then give him a treat when he listens.(and only leave the car with him when he stops barking)
For Uni? Haha yeah right!
when milu gets too barky when we are out, i just pick her up and walk away from what she wants to get to if she won't be quiet when i tell her to. |
Bad news guys. Uni will be 3 next month and she does exactly what you all are describing. In my situation, I really believe it is b/c she is not spayed yet. So if your pups have not been s/n yet, I really believe it will help.
Very embarrassing indeed. Seems like we need to take them out more, so that it's no big deal for them to go places, but in the meantime, everytime you set foot into a place, they're screaming and everyone's looking at you right? ugh.
Also, while we walk, I have Uni sit at the edge of the sidewalk before stepping off. But as soon as we stop she starts barking. I tell her to sit, she sits, BUT ALL THE MEANWHILE BARKING HER HEAD OFF! It's like "I'M SITTING C'MON LET'S F-ING GO ALREADY!!!" LOL In the car, if we have her lay down before we open the car door, she does it, but whining and crying the whole time. So, she's doing the command, but still being loud, do you praise or correct? It's so frustrating.
the only thing so far that i have found that has helped.... even though this is the exact thing you are NOT supposed to do, is got an extra long retractable leash. Now, she is not pulling, she runs to the end of the leash, then runs back to me, then runs ahead again. She doesn't scream when she gets to the end like she did before with the 6ft lead.
