Yea the problem with Gizmo is any loud noise just makes him excited lol, I think it's because he and Lucy the cat argue a lot when they play, it's unfortunately how they communicate :-( I guess since she can't bark and e can't meow, whoever eats the loudest wins :-) they are quite the pair I tell you haha. I would never consider getting rid of him for anything, and I'm sure eventually I will figure out the magic command that works, I'm hoping its just a phase he's going through as he hasn't been doing it that long, and I'm trying to get control of it before it does become a habit. I so want him to bark when strangers are outside, plus it will also be a task he will be trained to do in the future once he starts training for emergency response. I guess at least I know he's very capable of barking loudly, now I just need to figure out the magic of when to bark :-) I will update if I figure it Out lol. So yea time out does not work, squirt bottle does not work, giving a low voiced command does not work, and anything that is loud as a command such as yelling to making any loud noise is by far the worst as this one just makes him super excited and louder :-( so its going to take some further thought of things to try :-) |
