I'm so glad I found yokietalk! We have a chocolate lab and pomchi which don't bark and will listen if we tell them something, but our new 4lb baby yorkie is giving us a headache. We adopted Murphy 3 weeks ago and he's a barker; especially, at the cat. First, we tried the spray bottle and all we ended up with is a wet dog. Then we tried pennies in a can and all he'd do is run around us to continue barking at the cat. Recently, we've been trying to get his attention before the barking starts by rattling his food dish, which seems to work if we catch him in time, but if he's already started his bark rampage it's too late. I suggested to my husband we should get the pet parade dog repeller.
Thanks everyone! It's a relief to know we're not alone! |
