It's crazy for this little 4 lb. muffin to try to be so protective!!! Reality is: she would run away from whatever it was that was making her bark!!

Yeah, the little ones bark extra, because that's all they have. Thor doesn't bark constantly, but when he's in the mood, he's deafening.

I wonder if you might try another trainer and make sure they can specifically address the barking. It's too bad, this is a relatively common problem, but I don't know of a hard and fast cure.

Also maybe you could speak to your neighbors...Just nicely tell them that you are working on finding a solution...and to please bear with you....At least keeping on good terms with the complainer ...couldn't hurt....

That's definitely a good suggestion. I will say something to them. However, I'm just not quite sure if it's them whose calling. But that will at least be one neighbor down..hopefully. It's crazy, she used to be great when she was little, but as she's gotten older, it's just become more and more out of control. Does anyone know of a citronella spray collar that is small enough for a 4 lb. yorkie? Do those even work? I just hate to go to those extreme measures but I really just don't know what else to do. Thanks so much for everyone's help!
