Everyone handles their barking yorkies in diff. ways. I am sure you will get advise on excessive barking. Just keep in mind this pup is still adjusting to new surroundings, new sounds. Training not to bark at this time has to be in a gentle manner. |
Ditto here too. I live alone in a heavenly wooded area as well. I don't discourage her barking but I will shush her. I know the difference between her "I am just letting you know I am here" bark vs her "Danger, Danger Will Robinson....someone is in the house" bark.
