Hey All- I posted the other day about Oliver's barking problem.
I have taken the advise from the thread and applied it. He will not be trained to "speak" but I am VERY relentless in saying "quiet, goodboy" and petting him or giving treats. About every two minutes or so. HAHA
SO far I have had two outbursts from him but he was quiet again within seconds. And at other times when I expected him to bark I just calmly said "quiet, goodboy" and he moved on to play or to something else. without barking!
I know i shouldn't count my chickens before they hatch, (or however those pesky saying go) but I'm really hopeful (and relentless!!!!!!!) and because we live in an apartment I'm really counting on this to work.
Thanks for all your suggestions.
