 Barking at Strangers
Hi gang. Lately Sango has a terrible habit of barking and growling at strangers. New people that come into the house (ie. during the Holidays) and also at people when I take her out with me. I tell her to stop and tap her on the snout while shusshing her but she still continues. When we are at home I tell her to sit and sometimes she'll listen sometimes she wont. Even with treat in hand. After about 10min of barking & growling I'll urge her to sniff the person and ask them to give her a treat. (ONLY TO MY FRIENDS & FAMILY IN THE HOUSE, not in the mall outside) She'll sit take the treat, but still bark at them, grumble, & complain a lil' bit. (she's quite the drama queen) Any suggestions? |
