It seems that my issue with Max starts immediately after I put the harness on and we go to the door. That's when the anxiety begins. Before the door even opens, he's barking like crazy. We haven't even gotten to the point of object triggers he's anxious/excited right from the start. I've made the mistake in the past just to take him out and as long as we got past the driveway he was fine the entire time. Now he started barking from the get go again. I can't very well throw a treat because I'm rewarding his barking. I say Shhh Quiet, he'll stop for 2 seconds, I give him a treat and he barks again. We repeat this continually. He's never really calming down. I'll keep working on it but I don't know if I'm doing it correctly. |
Oh i feel your pain! i just have tried almost everything with Sadie and we can't go anywhere and she only gets worse. now she's chasing little kids ankles when they walk (SOFTLY) across the house, and don't get me started on walks. i'm worried sick that if she doesn't control herself and we decide to have a child that she's going to bite them and be out of her mind then and i'll have to let her go to someone else. that kills me to know end to even think of having to give her up. i'm working so hard to prevent that. please pray for my patience and for Sadie to LEARN TO BE NICE AND QUIET!!
