I'm having the same issue. Our new doggie has been with us almost a week and she barks at my husband. She'll bark even of he just leaves the room and comes back in!
I just read that dogs can get "time outs" so I'm going to try it. I have done it twice already and we've made progress - she's gone from a bark to a growl. I say sternly "No bark!" and if she does she gets put in the front foyer with nothing but a piddle pad. She stays in there for 10 minutes before I let her out.
My husband just stands his ground and he doesn't scold her or try to "act nice"... I do the disciplining. I hope she learns to trust him eventually. |
