If she has a crate, you could also put it in a bedroom or the farthest room from the door/hallway wall. These are the only suggestions I have. I am not a fan of the spray bottle technique anyway. There is just something about it that I don't like. I know it has helped some people, but that is just me... |
This is what works (most of the time
) for us, too. Coins didn't work, she would bark at the coin sound. She would run from the squirt bottle, I didn't like it much either. Sophie only barks when people are walking their dogs in front of our house and the no bark command reduces her voice to a small whine ( Aw Mom, why not?
). I think the crate and fan ideas are good also. Sometimes I leave soft jazz on low for her when we're gone. Your little one is just darling
