My neighbor is a breeder that debarks her dogs. They still make noise and I think it is more annoying than regular barking. It sounds so painful when they bark. I don't hear them because she is a field away. I am in a rural area and she still does it
She does it because the barking gets on her nerves
Don't even get me started on *that*!
I fixed our barking problem with a squirt bottle of water. Worked wonders. I permit my 2 two to alert us of somebody coming or sounds or whatever but once I say "good girl or good boy" that ends it. It only took a time or two with a quick squirt and I haven't had a problem since. On the rare occaision when they keep at it, I just show them the bottle
Works like a charm. But that doesn't happen often, in fact right now I don't even know where my bottle is. Hmmmmmm...
I just noticed that this post is #300!!!! Yeah me-I am going to hit 500 yet!!! lol
