So my precious 5month old, Molli, has learned to bark. She barks at everything now, she barks when I'm getting her food or shes playing, she barks if I walk away for even a minute! I have her crate trained and she doesnt bark in their but I am trying to expand her area to the kitchen but if shes gonna bark all day then I can leave her out.
I tried the pennies in a can thing, she thinks its a toy and barks at it.
I tried ignoring her but I live in an apartment and sometimes she barks late at night and thats not good.
I tried clapping my hands and saying "no" but that just makes her bark more too.
Is squirting with water mean? I don't want her to be scared if things, I feel like water might be a bit harsh but I dont know what else to do.
Suggestions???
