I'm really not into my neighbor being "busted" as much as getting flack for their dogs barking being put on mine.
I deal with my dog when they are barking, but it really is like every time mine bark there's a knock at the door...
So far I'm trying to get mine to get out their energy (which used to be a non issue but it has been lately) as well as reinforcing old habits of not allowing the barking, the dogs have been especially naughty since I've become preoccupied with baby.
Scoobers has extreme separation anxiety, he is sometimes medicated and has undergone a lot of behavioral training specific to his needs but it's been very frustrating lately.
I get it his bark is super annoying but he only does it for short periods when there is a reason for him doing it. It's not like he barks for more than 30 minutes or that it happens continually. I just can't always run out and drop what I'm doing to stop him from barking at whatever is making him bark. I'm also just very frustrated with a lot on my plate.
Walks help them and me but it just hasn't been happening lately. So hopefully if I just put him out before dark and make sure I watch it'll stop. Princess is actually my barker at people going by 'her yard' and Elvis barks at the neighbor dogs when they bark (it's kind of funny actually it's like he barks to tell them to not bark).
Scoobers is just 'the bad barker' because of the scream sound he makes (he used to only growl and not bark but that hasn't been happening lately-like I said they've been naughty).
Training never ends I suppose. |
