When Lexi was about 8 months I put an ottoman up to my bedroom window so Lexi could look out. I think that made her think she was all powerful because she could look down from the second floor window into her domain...which includes all the neighbors yards and anything beyond. She immediately went from never barking to an all out terror. I really didn't want to stop her because she enjoyed it so! Instead, I tell her to use her inside voice, and amazingly she does. I don't know how she knew what I meant but I'll let her crazy bark to let me know what's going on then I tell her to use her inside voice. Visitors think it's hilarious because she begins to bark really quietly...Lol
