Can't talk on the phone, answer the door without Chewie going nuts... Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this... I can't talk on the phone without Chewie hysterically barking and growling the entire time. Same goes with answering the door, washing dishes, and cooking. I cant even sit at the computer without him yelling at me...literally... It's like he's startving for attention which he gets more than anyone else. Any suggestions? |
i don't have that problem...but have you tried shaking a tin can with some pennies inside and telling him NO! to stop. hopefully someone can help you! |

I think these doggies are just all natural toot heads!!! :D |
Romeo does that sometimes when we're watching TV or on the computer. Not when I'm on the phone though, probably because I'm rarely on the phone. What usually helps me is if I take him out for a quick walk, that calms him down. Not sure if it would work for you but wouldn't hurt to try! Chewie sounds a lot more complusive and determined to get your attention:D |
Could you try crating him or putting him in another room where he can see you but not be 'near' you while you are on the phone or computer? Maybe that will let him know that he will not die without your attention for a few mins. I have a boy who is very mom needy, but hes not vocal about it. I can wash dishes and talk on the phone but hes usually jumping up on my leg OR laying in my lap if Im sitting. |
Place him in a different room, when he misbehaves. Give him attention and reward him only when he behaves and does not bark, or go nuts when your doing those things. He will learn that good things happen when he does not act like that. Be very consistent too, and take action as soon as he misbehaves. :aimeeyork |

You have to be more persistent than he is. Keep several cans handy, keep a can by the phone, have someone call you, and practice, the ringing probably sets him off. Say, "No Bark" shake the can, wait for him to bark again, repeat, be consistent and persistent, make him give up first. Right now you are giving up first. It took more time with the door bell, you could ring the bell yourself several times a day, and say no with a can shake. In the beginning, it takes a lot of time, but it pays off. You may need periodic refresher courses, if you don't get daily calls, but a dog's job has long been warning people of impending danger, and that's what your dog is trying to do. It's wired into them to bark at strange noises, sounds, and people. You have to train them not to. |
