I think Mason might be in the gene pool too!! Gracie, I totally feel you! Mason does exactly the same thing. He sleeps well at night when we are going to bed, but during the day he does not let me rest

He barks nonstop unless I play with him. He is partcularly obsessed with the puppy Kong and he will bring it to me as soon as I walk through the door - and makes me play fetch all night. Sometimes I have to hide the stupid toy so I can just sit and read/watch tv/talk on the phone and have time for myself!

I tried spraying him with water and vinegar....didn't work

then tried water and listerine....didn't work either. Mason actually liked them!!! He started licking the spray bottle

I say "NO" or "QUIET" but he barks even more, as he perceives it as getting my attention. I haven't been successful stopping his barking either.

The ONLY thing I can seem to do is give him treats for distraction. He seems to like Nylabone and rawhides, so I give it to him when I want some peace to watch my General Hospital on TIVO

I don't know if Mason necessarily needs anti-bark collar, as he only barks when he wants attention. Passionfruition, just out of curiousity, can you tell me what kind you used on your Sully?

Thanks!
