When my brothers visit, they quietly "shhhh" my dogs when they bark. I support that. |
Yes this. I think it greatly depends on the situation.
Jackson has grown up at my dads house part of the time, so they are free to tell him 'shut up' any time they want, LOL
No really, the only other time they even need to discipline him is to tell him to get down or stop begging.
But people that he is not close to, etc, no I do not want them doing anything with my dog. Doing a few tricks etc is fine with me, but I would keep my dog close to me at all times in a work like environment.
