 thanks
You got my dog spot on. She was a rescue dog and had not been socialised. We think she had spent all her early life in a handbag or being carried! Our older dog (not yorkie) is well socialised and not a barker so this is all new to us. I will try the walk/run away tactic with treat (she is not terribly motivated by food when she is barking). I may have been making the problem worse by trying to introduce her to other dogs. She used to bark at other walkers too but this has got better so it gives me hope! Thanks for any advice you may have I am prepared to try any and all suggestions to have a well adjusted sociable fun dog. Jillyb |
