There are 6 small dogs in my house,sigh. In the house the chi will just muff quietly so he can watch the rest go nuts. So I start there. The youngest barks at EVERYTHING in the evening,so she sits with me,on a tether if necessary. Everytime she barks I tell her "enough","inside voice". Its beginning to tone her down,she is 6mos. I don't care if they growl,just don't "yell" bark in the house.
Outside it is one of the poodles,he is 12 yrs. I call him by name and say "enough", he stops. I do this with each dog that might be barking and they stop. This at least keeps the noise level down. |
