Hi All. I have had Bella now for 1 week. She has been an Angel so far, but last night and today she has been a monster. I have been leaving her in her pen and she has been fine, no barking ext. Last night she was whining and yapping off and on. Today when I left after feeding her and playing with her for an hour she barked all morning. Her routine has not changed so I dont know what is happening. My policy has been to ignore her whining and she always calms down and settles. Her whining has intensified into a yap, which I do not wantt to promote. Should I keep ignoring? Or go an tel her to stop with a little hit? I am not sure what approuch to take? Or should I spray her with a water bottle? I want her to be o.k. in her pen alone at times...it is early so I want to curb any negative behaviour now. Please help, I do not want to turn her into a terror.

Thanks so much.
