centralnewyorki | 12-08-2005 02:11 PM | Finally... silence!! Ugghh... Olivia is such a brat with our cat. If he does anything she doesn't like she FREAKS OUT! There is no stopping her- you can yell and hit the wall, couch, etc. to get her attention and she doesn't even notice. At first I appreciated it and thought it was funny (my little tattle-tale!) because she usually did this when my cat was on the kitchen counter or somewhere else he didn't belong, but it quickly got out of hand! I tried a firm "no bark", tried ignoring her whenever would excessively bark, tried a water bottle and nothing would work. Last night I was fed up and put some coins in an empty soup can and finally... silence! She HATES the noise! I had to use it a few times, and she got really scared and ran into my lap each time, and actually calmed down!
So, anyone having a problem with excessive barking for whatever reason- try this- it is a lifesaver!! |
