I don't have any gates but I can relate to the barking. Gracie does not bark a lot but she started barking at me when she wanted to play. At first I thought, ' Oh, this is cute.' But after a while if I did not respond right away she would get more aggressive in her barking. Demanding is more the word I guess. I finally started to tell her no and would not play if she tried barking at me to get her way. She has a tendency to be a bit bossy so I have to be careful not to let her trick me in to things. She now knows that barking is a no and does not produce the response she would like. |
