Thank you for your reply! If I could just figure out how to let him know that once he "warns" us with his bark that he can stop and we have it under control from there, I believe we would be in good shape. I know he isn't doing it to be a burden or anything.....you can tell he truly feels as though it's his job. I just don't know what we've done incorrectly to make him feel as though he has to protect us and not the other way around. The film sounds like a great idea and may work; however, he sits up on top of the sofa even and looks out the upper parts of the windows. And our sofa is in the middle of the floor, not up again a wall or window. He sits there on guard like it's his mission in life just looking out the dining room windows that are in his view or the side living room windows. So, if I did the films, I would have to do them on top too. But, thank you for your excellent idea and it just may be something I consider to maybe help him "break a bad habit". |
