It is amazing to me that so many people have suggested ways of punishing this dog for barking rather than dealing with the real issue here. The dog obviously has a need. Too much left over energy? How much exercise has this dog had during the day. Play is fine but many dogs need real exercise in order to get rid of pent up energy. Many dogs are left crated during the day then taken out and allowed to run around the house or yard and then ignored. If this dog is barking at you it has a need it does not just want to annoy you. It probably needs some serious exercise that includes a long vigorous walk for at least a mile or more. If you can't do that playing fetch for at least an hour may help. If you cannot give the time needed to run off this dog's pent up energy I would suggest you consider finding a home that can give the dog the extra attention it needs. Not all dogs are the same in what they require to be happy and healthy. Your other dog is doing alright dealing with conditions but this one is not and neither are you. This is not a behavior issue alone. The dog needs to run and wear off it's energy. Terriers can have high energy levels. A tired dog is a happy dog. Taking the dog places and letting it experience other places and situations will also give it's active mind a chance to work. This dog has needs you seemingly are not able to meet. Please consider either changing your lifestyle for the dog's sake or finding someone who has a more active life style that would love an energetic little Yorkie. |
