I am starting to see her do the same thing with getting a treat and if I don't get it under control it will be all the time and very hard to correct. We have been able to train alot of other thing out of Lily like biting when she was young but this one I am having no success .
Her sister Bella 3 years old ( Lily almost a year) is a sweet gentle calm little girl that gets very upset with all the barking and it makes a fun happy time not so fun. |
Your situation sounds similar to ours. Max shows his excitement about going out by barking. Teddy gets annoyed, although he grown more accustomed to it.
When Max starts to bark, I correct him with "settle down" or "quiet" or "no bark." If he doesn't listen, I sit down at my computer and ignore him. Max will start performing 'good boy' sits.
I get up again to finish putting on harnesses, etc. If he barks, I sit down and ignore him again. Teddy meanwhile starts moping or rolling his eyes.
I understand that it is hard balancing the training with 2 dogs with 2 different needs.
