I don't know whether or not this could be applied in your situation, but when Piper goes from cutesy little ga-ruffs to demand barking and doesn't stop when I tell her 'no bark' I get up, go to other room and close door. Then within about a minute, I come back and tell her she's a good girl to be quiet. Usually she settles because one thing Piper simply can't abide is being ignored! I learned this invaluable tactic right here on YT---thee best source of practical useful help and information everrrrr!!! |
