My two boys get into it occassionally. Nuetering helped tremendously, but they still do and its really bad, like pit bulls. I have found that excitement triggers mine. Like when someone comes to the door, when we are all playing, things like that. What I do now and it seems to work is I have rolled up newspapers in different areas of the house. If someone comes to the door and they all start barking, I pick up the paper and slap it in my hand and say no. It usually works. Theyve never ever been hit with a newspaper but they seem to know that it wont be pleasant. My secretary uses a water spray bottle for when hers get excited. Good luck finding your "stick". |
