*Put in the ear plugs, sleep well
*Get up earlier than normal to let her go potty, should only take a few days
She may never out grow barking all together, but this should get her through the night. Hope this helps you. |
great tip (from everyone)...my hubby and I were thinking of getting her to sleep in her taxi (she is currently but we leave the door open and put the taxi in the ex pen) with doors shut and getting up in the middle of the night to let her potty until she's old enough to hold for 8 hours.
Thank you everyone, for your responses. I'm disapointed to hear that she might be a natural barker. Hopefully the neighbors (who we really like) don't get too upset or report us to HOA (yup, we live in a HOA community that has strict rules to abide by) luckily it's a home and not an apt. that shares walls.
