Belle is about 1 1/2 years old, her hobby and lifes passion is barking
I tried the can, she also thinks that is great, a new toy to attack. Spray bottle worked at first then that became fun too. I have used the ultra sound thing and sometimes it works and sometimes she's so worked up that you could blow a cruise ship horn at her and she'd just look at you like "really!".. I get emails from Maltese Maniac and yesterday a lady was on there worried because her Morkie (which Belle is also) hardly ever barks, she was wondering if that was normal. I had to reply to that, just couldn't pass it up. Told her to count her blessings while she can still hear herself count. It's the Yorkie attitude that over rules the Maltese calmness. I can't believe the things Belle feels the need to bark at. She stands at the front window (back feet on the chair, front feet on the window sill and waits for new "prey". If they get past without her permission she assumes they are coming in the patio door so she makes a mad dash there to check it out, then back to the chair. We are still working on no bark but I think she reads a chapter ahead of me at night. Now she's figured how to jump at the TV to turn it off! Never a dull minute with her but we love her to death. Even when my dh and I both lose our hearing, we will still love her!
