I can hear that you are at the end of your rope take a deep breath : ) Now the biting what would a litter mate do if there brother was biting to hard He would yelp high pitch bark and his brother would be startled and stop biting and then Mom would come and in her way would say no biting so you can repeat that be yelping loud enough to startle and the say no biting and redirect to a chew toy.
Barking we used a water bottle. I just cant do barking so we got on to that one right away. I use the stream setting not the mist. When the barking started and there was no good reason for it ( dogs do barks some and need to ) I would say Bella no barking and if she kept going I would get the water bottle and give one good shot NOT right in her face and if she kept barking I would squirt a few time rapidly and say no barking till I got her attention. Two years in if she gets in to a barking fit for no good reason all I have to do is show her the bottle.
Hope that helps if not there are lots of good Ideas for others Let us know how it goes. |
