I agree, great advice. When Mia barks like crazy, my husband will yell at her. I remind him that to her all she's hearing is Bark bark bark, like he's joining in.
I can say No Bark in a firm but calm voice, now "shhh" is starting to work.
I do disagree with time outs - only because dogs have no concept of time out. They're not learning to correct bad behavior if you just remove them. They need some involvement in changing their behavior. Yep, I'm a Cesar watcher and lover! |
