I drove 10 hours from Northern California to Southern for the move... she barked non-stop 95% of the time.... Just ask Linda (lksdols) I called her from the road.... She could hardly hear me over the freakin barking... And it was nerve wracking! It was all I could do not to pull over at a truck stop and leave her there!!! (God forgive me for saying that! But I was Fried!!!)
I love her, and I deal with it.... But boy is it a bummer! |
It does sound like a problem that a little penny can is not going to help. Dreama and Wosie are getting pretty good with the penny can, but Dreama is like Pixie and barks because she likes the sound of her own voice sometimes, LOL! I am a firm believer in positive training, but sometimes nothing works as well as firmly saying DREAMA NO BARKING and then aiming a direct face hit with a spray of water! Once she shuts the heck up, I tell her GOOD GIRL no barking!! And give her lots of loves, which she is really good about responding to. So now I am at the point where it is simply DREAMA NO BARKING and she usually quiets, and then I praise praise praise.
GOOD LUCK, girlies, I would lose my mind if my girls barked like your Coco and Pixie, you poor things!!
