So apparently Gizmo has become a fabulous barker, thanks to his kitty Lucy who teases him while they play. I think Lucy knows it scares the other cats, and now that Gizmo is allowed upstairs with the other kitties, Lucy instigates him to bark more than ever. How do I train Gizmo to only bark when say someone is at the. Door or something, instead of constantly barking? A dog barks outside, Gizmo barks. Lucy sits up on the table to tease him, he barks. He hears the waves crash on the shore (were right at the beach) Gizmo barks. Gizmo barks at everything lately in the last week or so. Any hot tips on how to quite him? I've tried stern commands of no bark, talking gently saying quiet, distracting him to other activities, nothing works, in fact, the more you try to stop the barking the more he barks. I've even thought well maybe if I just ignore him he will stop, nope he can pretty much bark forever and then some. I am at a loss and my ears are going crazy lol. Any advice of things to try that I have not thought of would be greatly appreciated. I have even tried a squirt bottle, and trying to separate him from Lucy so she can't instigate, it was a no go on those too. I am at a complete loss :-(
